Exeba E-Swipe

Exeba E-Swipe, version 3.0, stands out as a comprehensive solution in the Network Tools subcategory of Internet & Network. Developed by Escan Technologies Corp, this user-friendly serial communication software is specifically engineered for smart swipe readers. With E-swipe.exe, users can easily manage their communication settings without the need to memorize complex command sequences.

A primary highlight of Exeba E-Swipe is its versatility in configuring communication ports and settings. It supports RS232, RS485, and TCP/IP protocols, making it adaptable to various hardware requirements. Moreover, the software offers in-depth customization. Users can set bar code options for each symbology that the reader supports, including toggling enabled/disabled status, setting bar code read length, and specifying bar code prefixes.

For magstripe options, Exeba E-Swipe doesn’t disappoint. It allows for extensive configurations, such as enabling or disabling tracks, specifying prefix and delimiter characters, and customizing magstripe length. Additionally, users can adjust relay, speaker, and LED settings to meet their exact requirements and even program the reader by sending appropriate commands.

The software further enhances ease of use by allowing users to create employee and schedule files, which can be downloaded to the reader. This integration continues with the ability to upload access control lists (employee and schedule data) stored in the reader and save them to a file. Polling multiple networked readers to obtain transactional data is straightforward, with the computer date and time being added when polling J readers.

Adding to its robust feature set, Exeba E-Swipe ensures data integrity by saving all data from the reader to a log file. The software facilitates seamless integration with Exeba® Time and Attendance Application by importing transactional data directly. Users can even define polling and delay settings, such as time-outs and poll delays, and set the protocol parameters for networked readers.

Pros:

• Comprehensive configuration options for communication ports and settings.
• Extensive customization capabilities for bar code and magstripe options.
• Efficient and straightforward polling and data management features.

Cons:

• Limited to supported OS: Windows XP, Vista, 7, 8, 10, and 11.
• May require a learning curve for users unfamiliar with reader programming.

Overall, this program is a powerful, yet user-friendly tool for smart swipe reader management, and best of all, it is available for free. Users interested in exploring the many features can easily obtain the latest version, 3.0, making it an invaluable asset for those in need of sophisticated network tools.
