The MSR213E is one of the MSR213 Series of Magnetic Stripe Readers with additional security features of Triple Data Encryption Standard (TDES) encryption and Derived Unique Key Per Transaction (DUKPT) key management. It is powered from the USB port eliminating the need for external power. The MSR213E operates in Keyboard Emulation, Virtual COM Interface and UIC defined Human Interface Device (HID) modes.

- Card data is encrypted with Triple DES algorithm using DUKPT key management.
- Track data output is masked according to a Mod 10 Correction setting.
- Reads Magnetic Stripe cards conforming to ISO7810 to 7811.
- Triple track and support for 75/210bpi recording density.
- Read both low and high coercivity cards (300~4000 Oe).
- Bi-directional card swipe.
- Supports multiple interfaces (USB HID-MSR, USB HID-KB, USB Virtual-COM).
- Two-frequency coherent phase (F2F) decoding.
- Reader status LED and buzzer.
MSR213E Ecryption Magnetic Stripe Reader
The MSR213E reads all three tracks of the magnetic stripe cards in both directions and fully conforms to ISO 7811, American Association of Motor Vehicle Administrators (AAMVA) and Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) standards. It has a status LED that is off, green or red based on the status of the reader. There is also a buzzer to further indicate the status of the reader. It is a highly intelligent device that uses flash memory to store keys and has the capability to turn the LED red when all DUKPT keys have been used.

Most Popular Features of MSR213E
USB HID or USB Keyboard Emulation Interface
MSR213E communicates with a host computer using USB interface. The reader can read magnetic data from available track encoded per ISO 7810/7811, AAMVA and DMV.
USB Virtual COM interface
MSR213E is designed communicates with a host computer or other terminal using a standard USB (Virtual COM) interface. Becuase of the transmitting protocol of MSR213E is more precise, it is suitable for using in financial industry.
