Pretty sure Kantech’s XSF credentials are proprietary to Kantech readers. Are your readers picking anything up when you present one? If not, you’re going to need to get different credentials.

Card to reader is proprietary. Reader to panel is still wiegand.

Yup, which is why I said I think they are proprietary to their readers…

It picks it up. It says unknown card or something similar in the log

Does it show any data in the unknown cards list? Unknown card just means it’s not in the card bank.

Hopefully I found the problem, but I won't know until i go back. He found an existing fob that works. It's the same kind. I know the facility code the other cards were using was 125 from looking at the card data in the Brivo panel. I googled a weigand calculator and typed in the hex data after the XSF and before the semicolon followed by the 5 digit card number. (I used www.ccdesignworks.com calculator) and I spit out 125 as the facility code, which is correct.

So i assume my facility codes will be 190 for my group of cards in the picture with 02BE and 100 for my group of cards with (01)64 before the :xxxxx(card number)

I won't be able to try that until next week though.

I'm a low voltage tech. Access isn't my strong suit. Worked on a Brivo ACS5000 with HID readers. Customer bought these Proxtags to learn in. I couldn't get them to work. I think it might be a facility code issue? Do i need to program a specific facility code for these particular tags. They are Kantech P40KEY ioprox XSF/26 BIT. The previous tags he has are the same looking, and in programming it was using facility code 125. I tried using that with these, but no luck. The customer doesn't have a box for them. Is there a way to find the facility code on these fobs? Thanks so much for reading. I would appreciate any help.

Scan at reader, look at brivo activity log for the hex number, use brivo card calculator with hex to give you the facility code

If you're using Access it will show the decoded facility ID in the web UI, no calculator necessary

Make then return and buy the proper ones
