Barcode Reader Programming - C900 Optical

Barcode Reader Programming - C900 Optical

Overivew

The C900 optical barcode reader can be programmed one of two ways.
  1. Facility Code "0" Mode - this is for barcodes with 5* digits or less and whose value falls within the Wiegand card id range (1 - 65535).
    *Note: this will work with 6-digit barcodes assuming the first digit is a zero. (e.g., 012345)

  2. Nonzero Facility Code Mode - this is for barcodes with between 6 and 9 digits.  The right-most 5 digits are always parsed first and converted to a Wiegand card id (00001-65535).  The remaining digits are then converted to a Wiegand facility code (001 - 255).
To configure, scan the QR code below that corresponds to your system with the reader.
The reader will beep twice, then it must be rebooted (power cycle).

Facility Code "0"

For use with cards formatted 00001 to 65535




Nonzero Facility Code

For use with cards formatted [000][00001] to [255][65535]




*Note: There is no need to factory default the C900 and perform multiple programming steps.  The codes above will set Wiegand 26-bit, scan-rate, and disable NFC.
