Transponder Identification System
Introduction 1-1
Chapter 1
Introduction
This chapter describes Transponders and their functions, the purpose of the Postal
RFID System and its uses. It also gives information on the 95 Series RFID System
configuration principles.
Transponder Identification System
The purpose of a data capture or identification system that uses a Transponder as an
identification token is:
• To automatically identify animate or inanimate objects having attached a
Transponder with an unique identifier
• To ensure that information is available in a format that can be readily accepted by
acomputer
• To minimize the possibility of errors in the identification process.
The concept of Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) is presented in Figure 1-1.

RFID Specific Terms
1-2 Introduction
RFID Specific Terms
Transponder Transponders are devices that receive an excitation signal, and respond by
transmitting back a message. Transponders that are used in identification systems
are sometimes referred to as electronic tags or tags.
Excitation Signal The excitation signal may be in the form of electromagnetic energy and can operate
anywhere in the RF spectrum from a low-radio frequency to infra-red light. It can also
have a special signature (pattern, coding, etc.) to avoid false or unwanted excitations.
When there is no excitation signal, the Transponder is dormant (in sleep mode).
Transponders do not transmit information involuntarily.
Response Signal The Transponder’s response can be a separate RF transmission or a supplementary
modulation of the excitation signal. The response signal contains information that
allows you to identify each Transponder and the object to which it is attached. Some
or all of this information may be stored in memory that can either be pre-coded and
unalterable, or reprogrammable.
Reading Points Reading Points are installed at strategic areas on the site where you want to identify
objects that are passing within a specified range. Reading Points generate the
excitation signal and receive signals transmitted by the Transponders. Data captured
from the Transponders is then transferred to the main computer. In so doing, the
Reading Point functions as a relay or an interface that transfers data from the
Transponders to the main computer and vice-versa.
Communication Links When using Transponders and Reading Points, two wireless communication links
exist. They are: Uplink - from the Reading Point to the Transponder, and Downlink -
from the Transponder to the Reading Point.
RFID System Automatic identification systems vary in their complexity. An example of a simple
system is a car-park barrier that provides automatic vehicular-access control. A more
complex example is a network of on-line Readers and Exciters that communicate with
a host computer that is managing an automated industrial facility.
Postal RFID System
The International Postal Corporation (IPC) required international end-to-end mail
performance monitoring to implement new management and financial control
systems. This monitoring and controlling is supported by an international agreement
known as REIMS (Remunerating Exchanges of International Mails).
The Postal RFID System was developed in response to the IPC’s requirements.
The main objective of the Postal RFID System is:
• To monitor the movement of the probe letters at key points in the system
• To supply evidence of mailing system performance
• To highlight problem areas.
![](/img.php?id=238966&img=bgf.png)
95 Series RFID System Configuration Principles
Introduction 1-3
By using aRFID system comprising of a population of Transponders and strategically
placed Readers and Exciters, you can electronically monitor the path of test letters
through the collection and delivery process, particularly at points between Postal
administrations and their agents.
Each probe letter includes a RFID Transponder bearing a unique identification. The
probe letters are posted, sorted, and delivered in the same way as normal letters. As
they pass pre-determined points en-route (Reading Points/identification zones), the
Transponders are identified. The collected information is then read and stored on
local computers. This information is downloaded on demand to a Central
Management System (CMS).
The Postal RFID System includes the following main specific equipment:
• Transponders T95 carrying the identification data
• Exciters E95 to generate an electromagnetic field that excites the Transponder
T95
• Readers R95 to receive data transmitted by the Transponder T95 and to relay this
information via the RS-485 interface to the main computer
• Power Supply TRM95 to power Readers R95 and Exciters E95 from the local AC
main supply.
IMPORTANT Each piece of equipment can have different commercial models (Transponders T95B,
T95C, TRD95, and TBC95), but they behave similarly. This manual refers to them as
a generic T95 model.
95 Series RFID System Configuration Principles
The RFID System is highly configurable, allowing you to setup operational
parameters for the optimum performance of the System. The sections that follow give
some basic information regarding the 95 Series RFID System configuration. A
detailed description of the configuration, with a focus on an IPC implementation, is
giveninChapter5,Configuration and Operation.
Communication Links There are several communication links between the components of the 95 Series RFID
System. As a general rule, all equipment attached to a particular link must have the
same parameters settings to communicate. Some communication links can be
configured, others, however, have fixed configurations, as follows:
• Reader-to-Transponder: excitation (LF=125.0 kHz) - configurable;
writing (infrared) - fixed configuration.
• Transponder-to-Reader (UHF-433.92 MHz) - configurable.
• Reader-to-Exciter and Exciter-to-Reader (RS485_COM, RS485_SGN) - fixed
configuration.
• Reader- to-Main PC and Main PC-to-Reader (RS-232 or RS-485) - configurable.
System Parameters Parameters controlling the 95 Series RFID System’s configuration are logically
organized in groups. For a detailed explanation on the meaning and usage of the
parameters, refer to the 95 Series RFID System Reference Guide. The parameters
![](/img.php?id=238966&img=bg10.png)
95 Series RFID System Configuration Principles
1-4 Introduction
settings that control the hardware configuration, is described in Chapter 3, Theory of
Operation in the 95 Series RFID System Technical Guide. This chapter gives reasons
for using certain parameters for configuring the hardware.
System Code A Reader R95 needs a System Code to function properly. You use the ISC parameter
to set the System Code the first time. The System Code is a specially encoded number
that distinguishes the RFID System from all other similar systems in use. By
obtaining your System Code from Kasten Chase, you are guaranteed a unique System
Code.
Reader Address When a Reader is part of a network, it must have a unique address. The address is set
by the IAD parameter. Once the Reader has an address assigned, it will only process
commands with the address field matching the Reader’s address. In this way, you can
direct commands over the network to a specific Reader.
Real Time Clock The Reader R95 has an on board Real Time Clock. Make sure that the date and time
is correctly set. The time can be queried and set using the IUT parameter. The time
must be adjusted on Jan. 1st and Feb. 29th.
Receiving UHF Data The Reader needs to know the data format in which the Transponder is transmitting
information to properly receive and interpret the information. The Reader’s setting
can be checked and modified by the Group Rparameters.
A simple method of matching an unknown Transponder with the Reader’s parameters
setting is given below:
1. Use the programming setup described in Chapter 6, Programming and Testing
the Transponder T95.
2. Query the Transponder. (See the Q command).
3. Check the Transponder’s parameters using the Group Tparameters.
4. Set an identical set of parameters for the Reader using the Group Rparameters.
Reader Data Handling Data that is captured from the Transponder is usually stored in an internal buffer. It
is then sent to the monitoring equipment either voluntarily (if DAR=Y), or in response
to a query command. You can customize the format and the fields using the Group D
parameters. By setting appropriate values, you can greatly simplify the
implementation of the monitoring software.
Reader Serial Port When setting the serial port parameters, remember that communication with the
monitoring equipment can result in a bottleneck in the RFID System. We recommend,
therefore, using the highest baud-rate available. Also, the line turn-around delay
(STD parameter) can greatly degrade the RFID System’s performance. This
parameter must be set to 0, unless required otherwise. For more information on the
Group Sparameters, refer to the 95 Series RFID System Reference Guide.
Reader Reset TherearetwomainwaystoresettheReader:
•Hardwarereset
• Software reset.
For the hardware reset, switch off the Reader’s power supply for a least 5 seconds.
![](/img.php?id=238966&img=bg11.png)
95 Series RFID System Configuration Principles
Introduction 1-5
For the software reset, press the RESET button on the Motherboard MBD95 twice, or
type the command:
:RESET<Enter>
The software reset resets the Microcontroller. The hardware reset resets the
Microcontroller and runs a complete memory test.
Exciter Address When an Exciter E95 is part of a network, it must have an unique address. You can
set the Exciter’s address in a binary format between 0001 and 1110, using the S1
switch on the EXT95SC board.
Once an address is assigned, the Exciter will only process commands with a matching
address field. In this way, you can direct commands in the network to a specific
Exciter E95.
Note Addresses 0000 and 1111 are reserved for special modes of operation.

Connecting the RS-485 Two-Wire Communication Line
The RS-485 is a standard data communication line for an industrial environment. For
detailed information on the two-wire RS-485 interface (half-duplex), see the 95 Series
RFID System Technical Guide. The RS-485 connectors and jumpers are located on the
Motherboard MBD95. The MBD95 is the bottom board of the Reader Module
Assembly.
Notes 1. For the RS-485 line, use specially designed cables only, such as, BELDEN type
9841, or similar. For more information, see the 95 Series RFID System Technical
Guide.
2. To simplify the RS-485 multidrop-type connection, the two RS-485 connectors,
TB4 and TB6 are wired in parallel on the MBD95. Connect the incoming RS-485
cable to one connector and the outcoming RS-485 cable to the other.

Connecting the RS-485 Four-Wire Communication Line
2-4 Reader R95 Installation and Connections
Complete the following steps:
1. Unplug terminal blocks TB4 and TB6 from connectors TB3 and TB5 respectively.
2. Run the incoming and outcoming RS-485 cables through the cable grips into
Reader’s enclosure.
3. Connect a short piece of wire between pins A and Y of terminal block TB4 (or
TB6). Connect another wire between pins B and Z of terminal block TB4 (or TB6).
4. Connect the two-wire communication line to the corresponding pins A and B of
terminal block TB4 (or TB6). Connect the cable shield to the pin marked with the
ground symbol on terminal block TB4 (or TB6).
Caution Before you install the RFID System, label the 2 wires on the RS-485 line Aand B.
Keep this naming convention for all connections made on this RS-485 communication
line.
5. Place jumpers P3 between pins 2-3 of J3 and P4 between pins 2-3 of J4 to set the
half-duplex mode for the RS-485 interface.
6. Set the RS-485 communication line terminating load. The ends of a multidrop
network line can be easily identified, because only one RS-485 cable is connected
to that equipment. To connect a 120 ohm terminating load, place the jumper P1
between pins 1-2 of J1. For any other equipment connected to this RS-485
communication line, place the jumper P1 between pins 2-3 of J1.
7. To select with the RS-485 interface, set the jumper P2 between pins 2-3 of J2.
8. Plug terminal blocks TB4 and TB6 into connectors TB3 and TB5 respectively.
Connecting the RS-485 Four-Wire Communication Line
The four-wire RS-485 data-communication line is the recommended variant for
connecting the Readers to the main PC. For detailed information regarding the four-
wire RS-485 interface (full-duplex), see the 95 Series RFID System Technical Guide.
The RS-485 connectors and jumper are located on the Motherboard MBD95. The
MBD95 is the bottom board of the Reader Module Assembly.

5-6 Configuration and Operation
The addresses must be sequential between 1 and 14. For example, if there are 4
Exciters, they must be assigned addresses 1, 2, 3, and 4. Use the S1 switch to set the
address to binary format. For example, in binary format:
•address1is0001
2
•address2is0010

Configuration and Operation 5-7
The Reader will respond with the parameter value, for example,
HE1=6
where 6is the value for the HE1 parameter.
3. Set the Continuous DC Mode type of execution, by typing:
RCS=N <Enter>
RES=N <Enter>
REM=C <Enter>
RET=D <Enter>
Note If a parameter already has the wanted value (determined in Step 2), you do not have
to reset it.
4. Turn on the excitation field, by typing:
B<Enter>
Check the TAP voltage [VTAP] at the terminal block TB2 on the EXT95SC board
(see Figure 5-3) using an oscilloscope. The signal must be a continuous
unmodulated carrier of 128.25 kHz with a peak-to-peak amplitude of
VTAP =100±20V
pp.
Note When more than one Exciter 95 is used to create a wider excitation zone, a magnetic
coupling can appear. The phenomenon is explained in Chapter 4, Setup Guidelines in
the 95 Series RFID System Technical Guide. The coupling generates an unwanted
amplitude modulation with a frequency of several Hertz, the modulation depth
depending directly on the coupling. The installer has to monitor the TAP signal and
adjust the position of the E95 frames to obtain a minimum unwanted modulation
depth. The installer can increase the distance between frames, level the frames in the
same plane, or place the frames with the shorter sides (1m) in parallel. The minimum
amplitude of VTAP due to unwanted modulation must be larger than 60Vpp.
5. Turn off the excitation field, by typing:
C<Enter>
The TAP voltageamplitudeshouldbezero.
6. Turn on the LF field again, by typing:
B<Enter>
The TAP voltage signal should have the same value as measured in Step 4.
7. Set the wanted excitation mode.
To set a specific excitation mode, refer to Appendix C, Excitation Modes.Ifyou
want to return to the initial excitation mode as determined in Step 2, you have to
restore the values of the parameters modified in Step 3.

Configuring the Reader
5-8 Configuration and Operation
For example, Lyngsoe recommends the following parameter values for the
Conditional Switching AC mode (CSAC) for the IPC installation:
RCS=Y; RES=Y; REM=C; RET=A; HCC=8; HCS=7; HE0=18; HE1=6
These parameters all have the default values.
8. Check the excitation field pattern as set in Step 7, by monitoring the TAP voltage.
For example, if the IPC’s CSAC mode was set and the Reader did not receive a
valid message, the TAP voltage has the following repetitive pattern: a carrier of
128.25 kHz modulated ON/OFF with 610Hz for 60 ms, followed by no signal for
180 ms.
9. Save the excitation mode set in Step 7, by typing:
:CONFIG:STORE <Enter>
:RESET <Enter>
10. Check the parameter values set in Step 7 again.
11. Check the auto-diagnostic feature, by typing:
:DAR=Y <Enter>
:TEST:EXCITER k<Enter>
where kis the decimal address (1, 2, 3, ...) of the Exciter that you want to test.
The response should be 00, followed by a number (between IP-2 and IP) of
messages from the Test Tag.
12. Turn off the excitation field again, by typing:
C<Enter>
13. Check the auto-diagnostic feature, by typing:
:TEST:EXCITER k<Enter>
The response should be C9.
14. Repeat Steps 1 to 13 (inclusive) for each Exciter that is connected to the Reader.

Setting Up the Carrier Threshold
Warning Before starting this procedure, you have to enable the auto-report and set the data
report in ASCII format, by typing the following:
DAR=Y<Enter>
DHX=N<Enter>
To setup the Reader’s carrier threshold, do the following:
1. Switch off the excitation field, by typing:
C<Enter>
2. Set the Receiver’s signal-to-noise ratio, by typing:
RSS=10<Enter>
Note You can set other values for the RSS parameter. Lyngsoe recommends using a value
between 10 and 20 for the RSS parameter.
3. If you are using Diversity, enable it by typing:
HAD=Y<Enter>
Ensure that both UHF antennas are connected. If you are not using Diversity,
disable it by typing:
HAD=N<Enter>
Ensure that only the right UHF antenna is selected (see the HAS parameter).
4. Check the noise level on the UHF channel, by typing:
HNL<Enter>
The HNL value should be between -107 to -95dBm.
If the HNL value is higher than -95dBm, check if there are unwanted
transmissions on the UHF channel (433.9 MHz). Pay special attention to
Transponders or Exciters in close proximity to the Reader; these can accidentally
transmit data that can be received by the Reader.
If the HNL value is lower than -105dBm, check its value without the UHF
antennas attached. The difference between these two readings must be greater
than 3dB.

Setting Up the Carrier Threshold
5-10 Configuration and Operation
5. Set the carrier threshold, by typing:
S<Enter>
or
:CONFIG:THRESHOLD<Enter>
Note If the Reader resets itself, repeat the procedure from Step 1.
6. Monitor the DATA LED for at least 10 seconds. The LED must not flicker. If it
does flicker occasionally, increment the RSS parameter value by one. Go to Step 5.
IMPORTANT * For a normal setup, the value of (HNL+RSS) must be less than - 85 dBm.
* If the noise level is higher than -95 dBm, disconnect the UHF antennas from the
Reader, and check whether the HNL value drops below -107 dBm. If this occurs, it
means that there is unwanted transmission on the UHF channel. To correct this
situation, refer to Chapter 4, Setup Guidelines in the 95 Series RFID System
Technical Guide.
7. Place your Test Transponder T95 1-2 m away from an Exciter that is controlled by
the Reader you are configuring. For more information about identification zones
and the Test Transponders, refer to Chapter 4, Setup Guidelines in the 95 Series
RFID System Technical Guide.
8. Start the excitation field, by typing:

Note
The HV0 and HV1 parameters are set
at the factory during the adjusting
procedure and recorded for each
Reader. If you know the Reader’s serial
number, Lyngsoe can supply you with
the values.
Reader does not record
the Transponder’s
messages.
After the power-on
test is finished, the
sign-on message is
displayed on the
PC, but the DATA

continuously at a
random rate.
An improper carrier
threshold was set, or
there is an unwanted
transmission onthe UHF
channel.
1. Check whether the Reader is
receiving information that has been
accidentally transmitted from other
Transponders in its vicinity. If you
eliminate the unwanted
transmission, the DATA LED will
stop flickering.
2. Check whether an Exciter’s Test Tag
is transmitting accidentally. Switch
off the power supply of all Exciters
surrounding the Reader and monitor
the DATA LED. If the DATA LED
stops flickering, the unwanted
transmission originated in one of the
Exciters.
3. Run the procedure, 95 Series RFID
System - Final Test on page 5-14.
Step 2 - Set up the Carrier Threshold
for the Reader.
4. If the Reader reports a channel noise
level below -95dBm, but you are still
not receiving the Transponders’
messages, check the noise level
reported by the Reader with and
without UHF antennas connected. If
the noise level is identical or varies
slightly (±1 dBm), replace the
Reader.
5. If the Reader reports a noise level
(HNL) above -95 dBm, the unwanted
transmission is on theUHF channel.
For procedures on eliminating the
unwanted transmission, refer to
Chapter 4, Setup Guidelines in the
95 Series RFID System Technical
Guide.

The configurations of the
Transponder and the
Reader do not match.
The carrier threshold
value is too high.
1. Using a Test Transponder TST95
that has been programmed for your
application, test the Reader’s
receiving capability.
2. If you can receive transmitted
messages from the TST95, the
Transponders are either not
correctly configured for your
application, or they are out of
specifications. Reprogram the
Transponders and check whether
the Reader can receive messages.
3. If you cannot receive transmitted
messages from the TST95, the
Reader has an incorrect
configuration. Go to Steps 4and 5.
4. Check whether the DAR parameter
and the Group R parameters are set
according to the application’s
specifications.
5. With this new set of parameters,
check whether the Reader can
receive transmitted messages from
the TST95. If the Reader can receive
the messages, save its configuration,
by typing the following commands
and pressing <Enter> after each
command: :CONFIG:STORE,
:RESET.
1. Run the procedure, 95 Series RFID
System - Final Test on page 5-14.
Step 2 - Set up the Carrier Threshold

4. If the value of (HNL +RSS) is higher
than -85dBm, there is either an
unwanted transmission on the UHF
channel, or the value of the RSS
parameter is too high. The value
for the RSS parameter must be
between 10 and 20.
5. Check whether there are
Transponders or an Exciter’s Test
Tag in the immediate vicinity that
transmit messages accidentally.
6. Run the procedure, Setting Up the
Carrier Threshold again, and
monitor the value for the HNL
parameter after each setup.

The receiving zone is too
small because of either a
high carrier threshold, or
there is random
interference on the UHF
channel.
1. Run the procedure, 95 Series RFID
System - Final Test on page 5-14.
Step 2 - Set up the Carrier Threshold
for the Reader.
2. If you observe a random variation of
noise and interference on the UHF
channel, either increase the value of
the RSS parameter, or set the HTL
parameter to a higher value than the
one that was automatically set by
the Reader.
3. If the receiving zone is too small
after you set a higher carrier
threshold, follow the setup
guidelines recommended in Chapter
4, Setup Guidelines in the 95 Series
RFID System Technical Guide.
Note
A UHF channel is subject to random
noise and interference. The Reader
disregards the messages with data
errors. For an optimal channel, free of
interference and industrial noise, the
Reader must be able to receive all
messages transmitted by a single
Transponder placed in its reading

Transponder T95 Messages
Message Format
Each message has the following format
where:
Prmbl = 0.7 ms continue 1.
Sync = a string of 10 bits of “0101010101”; transmitted only if SM=Y.
Start = a string of 13 bits “0101010000111”; transmitted only if SM=Y.
SC = 2 bytes system code; transmitted only if TS=Y.
UD = user definable data; number of bytes is set by CC (1 to 32).
CRC = 2 bytes CRC; transmitted only if EC=Y.
Flag = 2 bytes message flags; transmitted only if TF=Y. It has 1 byte if HF=N and
2 bytes if HF=Y.
Key = 1 byte message key; transmitted only if EN=Y.
T95 Parameters The parameters that control the message transmission for T95 are shown in the table
below:
Total Transmission
Time
After a valid excitation, the T95 transmits the initial number of messages defined by
the IP parameter, followed by an extra number of messages (up to the RC) for as long
as the excitation exists. Then it goes to sleep.
There is a random delay called InterMsgDelay that occurs between two consecutive
messages. This is implemented to ensure that the delay time does not repeat itself
before 32 messages have occurred.

Reader Software Upgrade Procedure D-1
Appendix D
Reader Software Upgrade Procedure
This appendix describes the procedures for upgrading the Reader R95 (P/N 600405)
main software using the serial interface RS232 or RS485. This software controls the
functionality of the Microcontroller placed on the Receiver assembly CRM95
(P/N 500056). This procedure refers particularly to the upgrading process for software
version 1.68.02.
Upgrading the Firmware
Upgrading the firmware involve the following steps:
1. Setting the Reader’s Address to 0
2. Saving parameters: HV0, HV1, ISC, ISN
3. Upgrading the firmware itself by using:
a) The RS232 interface
or b) The RS485 interface: 4-wire communication line or 2-wire communication line
3. Restoring parameters: HV0, HV1, ISC, ISN
4. Setting the Reader’s Network Configuration
5. Final instructions
Setting the Reader’s
Address
To set the Reader’s address, do the following:
1. If the Reader already has an address, for example r, then set this address to 0 by
typing the following commands:
@r IAD=0<Enter>
@r :CONFIG:STORE<Enter>
@r :RESET<Enter>
For more information, refer to Storing the Reader’s Configuration on page 5-13.
2. Check whether the Reader’s address is 0, by typing the following command:
IVN<Enter>
The Reader must respond with its software version number. If not, repeat Step 1.
![](/img.php?id=238966&img=bg50.png)
Upgrading the Firmware
D-2 Reader Software Upgrade Procedure
Saving Parameters Follow these steps:
1. Write down the values of the following parameters: HV0, HV1, ISC, ISN.
Note To determine a parameter’s value, for example, HV1, type the following command:
HV1<Enter>
For example, the Reader responds:
HV1=125
where 125 is the parameter value.
2. If the Reader was already configured, write down all parameters whose values
differ from the set default values. For more information, refer to Chapter 1, Quick
Reference in the 95 Series RFID System Reference Guide.
For example, for an IPC installation, write down the values for the following
parameters: DCI, DRI, HTL, RCC, RSS.
Using the RS232
Interface
Follow these steps:
1. Connect your PC (COM port) to the Reader R95 (RS232 interface) using a
standard RS232 cable. For more information, refer to Setting Up the Reader/PC
Connection on page 5-2.
2. Start the upgrading procedure by typing the following command:
:CONFIG:FIRMWARE:LOAD<Enter>
or type the following shortcut:
F<Enter>
3. Start XMODEM, send protocol on the PC, and then send the new firmware file.
Lyngsoe recommends having the new file on your hard drive and not on a floppy
disk.
4. Wait until the transfer process is complete. If the 95 Series RFID System aborted
the transfer process, repeat Step 2.
5. If the downloading process was successful, wait for the Reader to reset - it takes
about 5-7 seconds. For more information on the Reader’s power-up sequence, refer
to Reader’s Power-up Sequence on page 5-3. If the Reader did not reset properly
anddidnotsendasign-onmessage,thenswitchtheReader’spowersupplyOff
and then On.
6. To verify whether the upgrade process was successful, type the following
command:
IVN<Enter>

Upgrading the Firmware
Reader Software Upgrade Procedure D-3
The Reader must respond with the new firmware version number:
CRM95 V1.68.02, BUILT: 02/03/98 13:01:12
If not, repeat the procedure from Step 2.
7. If after completing Step 5, you still cannot communicate with the Reader, replace
the Reader with another unit and return the faulty one to Lyngsoe.
Using the RS485
Interface
4-wire
Communication
Line
Follow these steps:
1. Connect your PC (COM port) to a Converter RS232/RS485. Connect the 4-wire
communication line to the Converter (RS485 side). For more information on the
communication line connection to the Reader, refer to Connecting the RS-485
Four-Wire Communication Line on page 2-4 and Setting Up the Reader/PC
Connection on page 5-2.
You can have a different assignment for the RS485 interface on the Converter
side. Use the following conventions for the connections between the Reader R95
and the PC:
2. To upgrade the Reader’s software, follow steps Steps 2 - 5 in Using the RS232
Interface above.
Using the RS485
Interface
2-wire
Communication
Line
Follow these steps:
1. Connect your PC (COM port) to a Converter RS232/RS485. Connect the 2-wire
communication line to the Converter (RS485 side). For more information on the
communication line connection to the Reader, refer to Connecting the RS-485
Two-Wire Communication Line on page 2-3 and Setting Up the Reader/PC
Connection on page 5-2.
You can have a different assignment for the RS485 interface on the Converter
side. Use the following conventions for the connections between the Reader R95
and the PC:
Or as an alternative:
Place the wire jumpers between terminal
and
2. To control the RS485 interface on a 2-wire communication line, you must use the
special software on the PC to allow hardware flow control. For example, Lingso’s
RS485 software to communicate with the Reader and Readerfw to upgrade the
Reader’s software. For more information on the software, refer to the Lingso
documentation.

Upgrading the Firmware
D-4 Reader Software Upgrade Procedure
Restoring Parameters Follow these steps:
1. Verify whether parameters were erased during the upgrade procedure, by typing:
ISC<Enter>
2. If the Reader responds with
ISC=0
then the original parameter values were erased and they were set to their default
values.
3. Reset the parameters HV0, HV1, ISC, ISN to their original values prior to the
upgrade process. You recorded them during the Saving Parametersstep.
Note a) Firmware V1.68.02 ignores leading zeros for integers.
b) If the Reader was already configured on the site, you have to restore all
application parameters queried during the Saving Parametersstep, or restart the
configuration process as described in Chapter 5, Configuration and Operation.
3. Check the values of the new parameters that were introduced by this software
version. For example, For an IPC installation, the following parameters must
have the default values as follows:
HCC=8, HCS=7, HE0=18, HE1=6, RCS=Y, RES=Y, SFC=N
Setting the Reader’s
Network Configuration
To set the Reader’s network configuration, do the following:
1. Set the Reader’s address to it initial value (see step 1 in Setting the Reader’s
Address): by typing:
IAD=r<Enter>
2. Store the Reader’s parameters, by typing:
:CONFIG:STORE<Enter>
3. Reset the Reader, by typing:
