TDSi Gardis readers replacing Indalas

[Pelekan]

Calling all TDSi guru's! We have a project where we need to replace some old Indala readers with shiny new Gardis Mullions. We're bolting onto EXcel 2/3 controllers and some MICROgarde 1/2's. Zillion dollar question is whether anyone has done this before and if so - where there any issues and how long did it take? Did you re-use existing reader cabling (whatever the Indalas would have used - I assume Belden). in terms of the EXgarde 4.3.0, is it simply a case of adding a new card (DESFire) as a second credential so they can use two cards until the reader migration is complete? 

 

Thanks guys and gals!
