====== Paxton Access card reader ====== No luck finding how this can be made to work with Linux, as it shows up as a human interface device, I'd hoped it would emulate a keyboard, but if you can write a card as well as read one, that doesn't make much sense. A serial device would seem more likely. Just a place holder for the messages in the hope a seach engine may find and index the info. # lsusb Bus 001 Device 085: ID 1071:0001 Paxton Access LTD USB Proximity Reader # lsusb -v Bus 001 Device 085: ID 1071:0001 Paxton Access LTD USB Proximity Reader Device Descriptor: bLength 18 bDescriptorType 1 bcdUSB 1.10 bDeviceClass 0 bDeviceSubClass 0 bDeviceProtocol 0 bMaxPacketSize0 16 idVendor 0x1071 idProduct 0x0001 bcdDevice 0.01 iManufacturer 1 Paxton Access LTD iProduct 2 USB Proximity Reader iSerial 0 bNumConfigurations 1 Configuration Descriptor: bLength 9 bDescriptorType 2 wTotalLength 0x0029 bNumInterfaces 1 bConfigurationValue 1 iConfiguration 0 bmAttributes 0x80 (Bus Powered) MaxPower 200mA Interface Descriptor: bLength 9 bDescriptorType 4 bInterfaceNumber 0 bAlternateSetting 0 bNumEndpoints 2 bInterfaceClass 3 Human Interface Device bInterfaceSubClass 0 bInterfaceProtocol 0 iInterface 0 HID Device Descriptor: bLength 9 bDescriptorType 33 bcdHID 1.00 bCountryCode 0 Not supported bNumDescriptors 1 bDescriptorType 34 Report wDescriptorLength 29 Report Descriptors: ** UNAVAILABLE ** Endpoint Descriptor: bLength 7 bDescriptorType 5 bEndpointAddress 0x82 EP 2 IN bmAttributes 3 Transfer Type Interrupt Synch Type None Usage Type Data wMaxPacketSize 0x0040 1x 64 bytes bInterval 4 Endpoint Descriptor: bLength 7 bDescriptorType 5 bEndpointAddress 0x02 EP 2 OUT bmAttributes 3 Transfer Type Interrupt Synch Type None Usage Type Data wMaxPacketSize 0x0040 1x 64 bytes bInterval 4 Device Status: 0x0000 (Bus Powered) Sep 30 09:19:24 zinc-ops1 kernel: [1107679.832835] usb 1-1.4: new full-speed USB device number 84 using xhci_hcd Sep 30 09:19:24 zinc-ops1 kernel: [1107679.953476] usb 1-1.4: New USB device found, idVendor=1071, idProduct=0001, bcdDevice= 0.01 Sep 30 09:19:24 zinc-ops1 kernel: [1107679.953496] usb 1-1.4: New USB device strings: Mfr=1, Product=2, SerialNumber=0 Sep 30 09:19:24 zinc-ops1 kernel: [1107679.953506] usb 1-1.4: Product: USB Proximity Reader Sep 30 09:19:24 zinc-ops1 kernel: [1107679.953513] usb 1-1.4: Manufacturer: Paxton Access LTD Sep 30 09:19:24 zinc-ops1 kernel: [1107679.962127] hid-generic 0003:1071:0001.000D: hiddev2,hidraw3: USB HID v1.00 Device [Paxton Access LTD USB Proximity Reader] on usb-0000:00:14.0-1.4/input0 Sep 30 09:19:24 zinc-ops1 mtp-probe: checking bus 1, device 84: "/sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:14.0/usb1/1-1/1-1.4" Sep 30 09:19:24 zinc-ops1 mtp-probe: bus: 1, device: 84 was not an MTP device Sep 30 09:19:25 zinc-ops1 mtp-probe: checking bus 1, device 84: "/sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:14.0/usb1/1-1/1-1.4" Sep 30 09:19:25 zinc-ops1 mtp-probe: bus: 1, device: 84 was not an MTP device
