How do I Set the SiteKey on Individual Smart Cards?
The V-Smart will attempt to set the SiteKey on the smart card during the enrollment
process.
• When an attempt is made to store a template on a smart card, the V-Smart will check
the key currently used by the Smart Card. If the V-Smart Primary SiteKey matches
the key on the smart card, the template is written.
• If the above fails, the V-Smart will check if its Secondary SiteKey matches the key on
the smart card. If they match, the key on the smart card is updated to the V-Smart’s
Primary SiteKey and the template is written (this adds ~0.5 seconds to the process).
• If both Primary and Secondary SiteKeys fail, the V-Smart will compare the smart card
key with the standard default MIFARE smart card key. If they match, the key on the
smart card is updated to the V-Smart’s Primary SiteKey and the template is written.
• If all of the above 3 fail, the V-Smart can not read or write to that smart card
