What Is a Kantech ioProx Fob?
A Kantech ioProx fob is a compact proximity credential used with compatible Kantech ioProx access control readers. Instead of carrying a full-size access card, the user can keep the credential on a key ring and present the fob to the reader when entering a secured door or area.
The P40KEY is Kantech's key-fob form factor within the ioProx credential family. When replacing an existing P40KEY or another ioProx credential, the credential format and system configuration should be verified before ordering.
Important Kantech ioProx Compatibility Notice
Beginning in 2019, Kantech discontinued manufacturing fobs that utilized the original credential numbering structure commonly identified as:
XSF (01) 78:6430
Current production Kantech credentials utilize the newer format:
XSF 0285:14638
Many existing Kantech installations using the original numbering format may require a software upgrade before newer credentials can be enrolled and recognized by the system. Customers maintaining legacy Kantech ioProx systems should verify system compatibility before purchasing newer credential formats.
