What is the Custom Smart Card, and why do you need this feature?

• Among the cases where a third-party system is integrated with BioStar 2/Suprema devices, there are cases where the Suprema device needs to read a smart card issued by a third-party system other than BioStar 2. We added the Custom Smart Card Layout function on BioStar 2 and Suprema Device Manager to support some of these cases.
• This article explains using the Suprema Device Manager app and the XPass D2 case.
  • For an introduction to the Custom Smart Card Layout function of BioStar 2, please refer to the following article. (Relevant Article - [BioStar 2] How to Setup Custom Smart Card Layout)

Cases where Custom Smart Card Layout needs to be set up through Suprema Device Manager

1. When XPass D2 is used as a dummy reader for a 3rd party device
2. When it is difficult to change XPass D2 settings through BioStar 2

Preparations

• Suprema Device Manager app (supported on Android OS)
• XPass D2 with v1.7.1 firmware
  • If the firmware of your device is not v1.7.1, you can also upgrade the firmware through the Suprema Device Manager app (However, you must save the firmware on your mobile device).
  • Refer to the linked document to understand how to upgrade XPass D2 firmware through the Surpema Device Manager app. ([Suprema Knowledge Center] How to use Suprema Device Manager App)
