Getting Invalid Card Readers - Door Controller Installation - Existing fobs not being read

The wiegand wiring is used to connect a card/fob reader to Swiftlane's door controller unit. A common error during installs is that the D0 and D1 wires are flipped on one end during the wire run. This causes the fob number being read to be shown as "invalid keycard" in the activity feed in the admin dashboard. The solution is to check the D0 and D1 wire is not flipped at the reader or controller.

This causes the binary digits of the card number to be inverted. e.g. if a 26 bit card number is

11111 11111 11111 11111 000000

It will be scanned on the door controller as

00000 00000 00000 00000 111111

By simply flipping the D0 and D1 wire, this fixed the issue.
