Security

Security tab of the RFID Tag dialog allows you to configure the RFID tag security settings. These settings allow or deny access to RFID data writing or editing.

Security settings depend on the selected printer. There are three major configuration types.

Single Memory Field with Multiple Blocks

Locking group includes an overview of the blocks that are included in the RFID tag memory. Each block can be locked individually.

To protect the block for editing and writing, enable the Block locked option.

Lock all blocks option allows you to lock all blocks in the memory field simultaneously or unlock them if they are already locked.

Multiple Memory Fields

Access Protection group sets a password that must be entered before editing or writing the RFID data.
