Dual-frequency contactless reader

The HID Global Corporation R54270111 is a desktop RFID reader that operates over a USB 2.0 cable and also offers Bluetooth connectivity. It supports contactless smart cards and presents a native CCID implementation compatible with Windows, Linux and Mac operating systems. A fully programmable keyboard wedge function with an integrated management console allows flexible configuration of data structures and output modes.

Access-control and POS deployments

This device suits organisations that need a single reader for both physical access control and point-of-sale transactions using contactless credentials. Its Human Interface Device protocol permits host-side configuration while in keyboard wedge mode, and an extended keyboard boot option helps with systems that enumerate few USB devices. Buyers who require a reader for contact-based smart cards or who need a different host interface should look elsewhere.

USB 2.0 host interface

The USB 2.0 host interface is the specification that determines whether this reader integrates with your existing workstation or terminal. Physical dimensions are 3.7 inches wide, 2.8 inches deep and 0.6 inches high, with an approximate weight of 3.53 ounces.

Questions about this item

Will the 3.7" width and 2.8" depth fit on a narrow countertop?

The reader measures 3.7 inches wide by 2.8 inches deep with a height of .6 inches, so it occupies a small footprint on most surfaces.

What is the common mistake when switching between CCID and keyboard wedge modes?

Users often forget to reconfigure the output format in the management console after changing the USB interface mode, leaving the reader in the wrong data structure.

How do I update the firmware on the R54270111 reader?

Firmware updates are applied through the integrated management console over the USB 2.0 connection; Bluetooth is used only for card communication.
