The following Technical Bulletin describes how to configure Identity Access to work with the Idemia Morpho SIgma Multi Series readers to allow for reading sector encoded cards which were encoded using MorphoManager using the default keys.

This is only recommended if you have an iNet access control backbone due to the usage of the default mifare keys

IA-MFK Sector Encoded cards or Biometric

1. First ensure the Identity Access software is installed, watch the following video installation guide if needed and you can find the Identity Access Licensing Guide here
