Install the RFID Reader Service on the machine the reader is plugged into and point it at this server.

Every frame the reader sends, parsed or not.

Present a card at a connected reader — reads appear here.
Add Reader
Kiosks pick this reader by name during their own setup; it appears there as serviceId:readerId.
Card Number Parsing
Start with Auto. If the number comes out wrong, watch the Live Reads panel and
set a regex or format to match what the reader actually sends.
Group 1 is the card number. Overrides Format.
Only if card numbers repeat across facility codes.
Wiegand 26-bit: the reader sends 7 ASCII hex characters
(28 bits). The last 2 bits are padding; of the remaining 26,
bits 1–8 are the facility code and bits 9–24 the card
number, which is reported in decimal — e.g.
3DD9370 → facility 123, card 45678.
Min Length and Strip Leading Zeros don't apply.
Shorter frames are noise.
Repeats while held.
For readers with no terminator.
Launch Kiosk
Opens the kiosk page in a new tab. A display that has not been set up asks for
its scale, printer and card reader on its own screen; kiosks that have
registered are listed under Setup → Kiosks.
