Product Overview
The WDG-6112 connects a computer via USB-C to an OSDP or Wiegand credential reader. Once
the reader reads a credential, the credential data is sent to the WDG-6112. Then, data is output to
the computer as keystrokes. This can be used to interact with computer applications such as
spreadsheet or text programs.
Applications
Create credential databases during site takeovers
Use with an RFID reader to create an enrollment reader solution
Troubleshoot readers/credential output in the field

    OSDP reader’s devices address. Supported OSDP Commands and Replies As an ACU, the WDG-6112 will send commands to and receive replies from the OSDP reader (PD). Because the functionality of the WDG-6112 is limited in scope compared to a full OSDP access controller, it only sends the commands and processes replies shown in Table 2 below.
  • Page 8: Osdp Initialization Sequence

    The WDG-6112 sends the osdp_POLL command to the reader until credential data is received in the form of the osdp_RAW or osdp_KEYPAD replies. Note: The WDG-6112 uses the OSDP device address and baud rate set in the OSDP config file. By default, it uses device address 0 and 9600 baud.

    This section notes minor known issues with the WDG-6112 firmware version 1.04. Windows It may take 30 or more seconds for a Windows computer to recognize the WDG-6112 when it is in Configuration Mode. When using a USB extension cable, the WDG-6112 can only be plugged into the cable in one orientation.
  • Page 14: Default Configuration / Badge Peeler Mode

    WDG-6112 Manual - Default Configuration / Badge Peeler Mode From the factory, the WDG-6112 units use the Badge Peeler Mode configuration. Badge Peeler Mode outputs the bit length and raw data of any credential; this makes it useful for troubleshooting readers or verifying unknown credential data.

  • Page 17: Configuration Tool: Output Configuration

    WDG-6112 Manual - Configuration Tool: Output Configuration The Output Configuration section creates badge format templates. Expected badges are then parsed and output into the given human-readable format. Figure 8 below illustrates this section. In this section, there are six sub-sections: Badge Fields, New Badge Field, Badge Representation, Output List, Output Formats, and Create Configuration.
  • Page 18 The Badge Field section shows a breakdown of each badge format. Badge fields allow the WDG-6112 to pick out specific pieces or data fields of a badge. For example, a standard 26-bit badge has two parity bits, one facility code field, and one card number field. As seen in Figure 9 below, standard 26-bit badges have two data fields.
  • Page 19 The Badge Representation section shows a breakdown of each selected Badge Field. Badge lengths determine which output format the WDG-6112 applies when it receives a card read. For example, when 26-bit credential data is received from the reader, if a 26-bit output format is specified by the current configuration, the data will be output according to the configuration.
  • Page 20 Then, select the “1” key from the Keys list. Next, click the “+” button under the keys list. Now, “Shift+1” will appear in the Output List, and the WDG-6112 will output the “!” character. Badge Fields - A list of all created Badge Fields will appear here, along with the “LengthDecimal”...
  • Page 21 Below is an example of a populated Output List. The WDG-6112 outputs the length of the credential in decimal, followed by the “=“ character, followed by the Field0 data, followed by the “|” (pipe) character, followed by the Field1 data, and finally the Enter key.
  • Page 22 WDG-6112 Manual - Configuration Tool: Output Configuration (Cont.) Create Configuration The Create Configuration section allows users to name, create, and download a WDG-6112 configuration file. The file name is limited to 8 characters. By default, the configuration file is named “wdg-conf”.

    OSDP device address to match this value. Reader Speed - Defines the baud rate the WDG-6112 will use to poll the connected OSDP reader. After discovering the connected reader, the WDG-6112 sends the osdp_COMSET command to configure the reader’s baud rate to match this value.
  • Page 24 WDG-6112 Manual - Configuration Tool: OSDP Configuration (Cont.) Enable Secure Channel - When this option is checked, the WDG-6112 will only attempt to initiate a SCS with the attached OSDP reader, and will not initiate an unencrypted session. Default Secure Channel Base Key (SCBK_D) - This parameter defines SCBK_D for the WDG-6112 to use.
  • Page 25: Badge Peeler Mode Configuration

    WDG-6112 Manual - Badge Peeler Mode Configuration Badge Peeler Mode is the WDG-6112 default configuration (see pg. 8). The method outlined below returns the WDG-6112 Badge Peeler Mode after using another configuration. The Configuration Tool allows the user to create a Badge Peeler configuration using a special Badge Field and Badge Length.
  • Page 26 Format is created to process a specific credential format (26-bit, for example), that credential will be processed by the WDG-6112 according to the Output Format. If non-26-bit credential data is received, it will be processed according to the Badge Peeler Output Format.

The default parameters of each new Output Format are for standard 26-bit credentials, which will need to be edited in this scenario.
  • Page 32 The OSDP reader’s address is set by the “Reader address” field; in this example, the OSDP address is 1. The WDG-6112 will configure the reader with the specified device address using the osdp_COMSET command when it is first connected to the OSDP reader.
  • Page 33 Follow the steps listed in the Configuration Mode section (see pg. 15). The goal for this example configuration is to have the WDG-6112 enter the credentials into a spreadsheet. Below Table 3 demonstrates how this example configuration outputs the four different credentials.
  • Page 34: Calculate Number Of Fixed Characters

    WDG-6112 Manual - Calculate Number of Fixed Characters How to Calculate the Number of Fixed Characters for Badge Fields Depending on the application and the range of numbers in the credentials, finding the appropriate number of fixed characters for a Badge Field can seem unclear. The number of fixed characters can be calculated based on the total number of bits in the Badge Field.
