PAXTON & GDX Fob Cloning

All about Paxton and GDX fobs and cards.

The difference between copying and cloning.

COPY (Paxton credential only)

If you copy a Paxton token of any type, the encoded Paxton credential that is stored in the 4x 32 bit user pages, is copied to another fob or card.

This copy process will work with fobs and cards from Paxton Compact, Switch2 and Net2 systems.

It will also work with fobs or cards from Paxton10 systems working in Net2 mode (i.e. that are using any Net2 readers).

CLONE (Paxton credential and Hitag2 serial number)

To fully clone a Paxton fob or card, the credential above is copied but further Hitag2 data is also used from the fob or card.

The Hitag2 transponder serial number (locked at manufacture) is added to the Paxton credential as well as the reader type used by the Paxton multi format reader to communicate with the transponder.

So, a Paxton10 fob or card can only be cloned if the clone can change its Hitag2 serial number to match the original.

ANSWER

Only a PX1 Opentag cloner can clone every Paxton or GDX to one fob, the PAX10 Fob, designed and manufactured by the PX1 manufacturer.
