Security Property Page

The Security property page is located in the RFID Tags Properties dialog for tags that support security features, such as locking the tags after encoding. These access control settings are supported on a global basis by the printer driver's RFID Options page, but you can use the Security property page to specify different passwords for each document or even for each database record.

The following options are available:

Only the passwords that are being used can vary per database record. The blocks that are being manipulated (locked, unlocked, and so on) cannot change per record. For example, if you set EPC/UII Block to Lock, it will then attempt to lock each time, but the password that is used for the lock can be pulled per-record from a database source.

Access Control

The access control settings that are available on the Security property page depend on the type of RFID tag that you are using.

ClosedRAIN RFID Tags

For RAIN RFID - EPC and RAIN RFID - ISO tags, the Access Control settings specify whether a particular memory block type is open or locked. The specific memory blocks available and the available settings that you can specify for those memory blocks depend on the printer that you selected for the document. When a memory block is locked, an encoder cannot alter the data in that memory block.

Kill Password

ClosedPJM Tags

For PJM tags, the Access Control settings specify whether a particular memory block type is open or locked. The specific memory blocks that are available, and the available settings that you can specify for those memory blocks, depend on the printer that you selected for the document. When a memory block is locked, an encoder cannot alter the data in the specified memory block.
