HID® OMNIKEY® 5427 CK DUAL FREQUENCY READER (GEN 2)

The HID® OMNIKEY® 5427 CK reader from HID Global combines a modern design and a small footprint whilst also providing functionality in virtually any PC environment. Creating new market opportunities for system integrators, this reader supports low and high-frequency technologies within a single device. The Omnikey 5427 CK is the perfect solution for mixed credential technology environments and also provides a seamless migration path for organisations.

The HID® OMNIKEY®5427 CK also provides a CCID or Keyboard Wedge interface that is independent of the operating system. Eliminating the need to install or maintain drivers, this reader is also incredibly easy to use via a web-based management tool that allows for easy and intuitive configuration.

This reader is most commonly used for secure print solutions, access control systems and PC login using existing credentials. Take a look below at some of the key features of the Omnikey 5427 CK.

Ease of Use – Provides straight forward utilisation of existing access control credentials for PC login

CCID Support – Eliminates the need to install drivers on major operating systems.

Keyboard Wedge Functionality – Allows data from the card to be retrieved/transformed for direct input into applications using keystroke emulation. This eliminates the need for organisations to manually enter card data.

Security - Enhanced system security providing support for low and high-frequency credentials including but not limited to HID Prox ®, Indala Prox, MIFARE® Classic, MIFARE DESFire® EV1, iCLASS®, and iCLASS SE.

Flexibility – There are also several accessories and mounting options available.

The Gen 2 unit is a direct replacement for Gen 1 by HID. The main difference between them is an existing IT Log On system (HID Technical support will be required to assist us on the software side). The Gen 2 reader does have extra support for DESFire Ev2 cards from NXP, additional keyboard wedge outputs and full support for ASCII character table in pre and post-stroke strings. Other than that Gen 1 & Gen 2 will work the same.
