TokenWorks™ Releases New Version of CardDB®, the Leading Portable
Magnetic Stripe ID Card Verification Application in the Education
Market.
WILMINGTON, DELAWARE, February 11, 2004 – TokenWorks™ announced today
the availability of Version 3.2 of CardDB®. Since its release in 2002,
CardDB has been popular with Universities and other organizations
requiring a magnetic stripe based portable database application.
Building on the success of CardDB, CardDB 3.2 adds several new features
that enhance the overall performance of CardDB.
The original CardDB provided a portable platform that allowed a user to
swipe a magnetic stripe based ID, and immediate receive the status of
the ID. Basic features included fast lookup, fast upload/download, date
and time stamp for the last swipe of each card and audible alarm on bad
card status.
CardDB 3.2 adds the following features:
- Card logging for all cards swiped – primarily for applications
that need reporting on every swipe, such as bus transportation.
- The ability to manually enter ID card data when the magnetic
stripe is unreadable via a touch screen keypad, with user configurable
ID string “auto fill”.
- New ID cardholder classification status expanded from “good
card/bad card” to 62 classifications such a student, freshman,
sophomore, junior, senior, faculty, staff, all meals, lunch only, etc.
- The ability to change magnetic stripe parsing parameters such as
track, ID string size, starting location and lost card digit(s)
starting location (if applicable).
- The ability to switch between multiple card ID databases –
important for institutions with different card ID formats or when
changing venues.
“These new features will provide a powerful, low cost, solution to the
problem of remotely checking ID card status”, said Charles Cagliostro,
TokenWorks founder and CEO. “We have worked closely with our current
CardDB customers to develop these new features, and we are confident
they will be well received”, Cagliostro added.
CardDB release 3.2 is available immediately. The list price for a
complete CardDB system is $495.00, which includes all hardware and
software necessary for checking ID cards. The CardDB solution is
compatible with every University or Corporate ID card system that can
output a text file of current or valid ID numbers in the system.
