  - STid readers using the SSCP protocol
    - Configuring and enrolling STid readers that use the SSCP protocol
      For the Synergis™ unit to communicate with the STid readers connected to it, you must configure and enroll the readers in the Synergis™ Appliance Portal.
    - Enabling transparent mode on STid readers that use the SSCP protocol
      MIFARE DESFire readers require cryptographic keys to access a card's secured credential. When readers are configured to run in transparent mode, these keys are loaded into the Synergis™ key store or a secure access module (SAM) card.
    - Changing the default RS-485 communication keys for STid readers that use the SSCP protocol
      You can change the default signature and encipherment keys used for encrypted and signed communication with the STid readers.
    - Configuring STid readers that use the SSCP protocol to prevent relay attacks
      Prevent relay attacks on supported STid readers by enabling the system to detect delays in the RF communication exchanges between cards and readers, and reject access requests from the cards that take too long to communicate.
