Check station for checking data in data carriers

Abstract

Abstract In order to identify or check that a person possessing a data carrier has access authorization, a check station having two different checking devices 31, 32 is used. The first checking device 32 is designed for checking passive data carriers 50', on which the data are stored in magnetic or optical form. The second checking device 31 is designed for a remotely acting check of active data carriers which have a transmission/reception unit 15, 16, preferably in the infrared range, and a semiconductor memory. The two checking devices 31, 32 are provided with parallel outputs, to which is connected a change-over switch 39 controlled by the data carrier 50, 50' used. The output signals are transmitted to peripheral devices. <IMAGE>
