1 Introduction
1.1 Contents of this Document
This manual describes the ID6300 RFID reader.
Other documents available:
•
RFID UHF Module Application Programmer’s Interface (API) Addendum
with C1G2 and Title 21 Commands
2 Product Description
The Sirit ID6300 is a UHF RFID reader operating in a frequency band of 902 to
928 MHz. The ID6300 is compatible with UHF EPCglobal Class 1 Generation 2
and CalTrans Title 21 (T-21) RFID tags. These cards are ideal for handheld and
mobile applications due to their small form factor, low power consumption and
light weight.
The ID6300 incorporates two MMCX
jacks for connecting up to two
external antennas. The ports are
interchangeable and only one
antenna can be read at a time. The
transmitter output is software
controlled from 15 dBm up to 27
dBm (½ watt) in 1dB steps. This
card can be used either in a
PCMCIA slot or in TTL serial
communications mode.
Figure 1: ID6300 Module with Antenna
3 Antennas
The ID6300 is designed to work with both integrated and external antennas, both
types of which plug into the reader’s MMCX jacks.
3.1 Integrated Antenna
The reader antenna is described in the document ID6300 Antenna Datasheet.
3.2 External Antennas
PCMCIA reader modules use an MMCX connector to connect to up to two
external antennas. The ID6300 is optimized for circularly or linearly polarized
antenna with linear gain not exceeding 9dBiL.

Note: Use of other antennas with this unit may result in harmful
interference with other users and cause the unit to fail to meet
regulatory requirements. Operation with different antenna types or
the same type with higher antenna gain may violate FCC regulations.
Current FCC regulations (Title 47, Volume 1, part 15, section 15.204)
allow for any antenna to be used as long as the gain does not exceed the gain of
the original certified antenna. Professional installation is recommended for the
ID6300 model reader.
Caution should be exercised in attaching any long, relatively heavy
cables to the MMCX adapters, as these adapters are not intended to
tolerate large mechanical stresses. Connecting the ID6300 output
port through a short length of small-diameter cabling as strain relief is
recommended.
Note: Only use of antennas with legal gain is permitted. Using
USA/Canadian modules, the output power is limited to 36dBm EIRP.
Setting up the PCMCIA RFID module with an antenna containing too
much gain is in direct violation of the regulatory standards certifying
the product. If the user is unclear if their antenna gain is legal, they
are urged to contact the RFID Applications group at Sirit.
Using the ID6300
4.1 Communications
The ID6300 communicates over PCMCIA and TTL serial communications lines.
4.2 Application Programmers Interface (API)
The ID6300 is controlled using commands issued over the PCMCIA or serial
communications lines from a host. Each command is formatted to control
specific elements and options. The API specification for the ID6300 follows the
RFID UHF Module Application Programmer’s Interface (API), with the C1G2
and T-21 commands.
5 Compatibility
5.1 Host
The ID6300 is a very versatile module able to interface by a standard RS-232
port or a standard PCMCIA interface. This enables the reader to work with many
systems including handhelds, PDAs, laptops and desktop computers.

5.2 Tags
The ID6300 RFID Reader supports EPCglobal Class1 Generation 2 and Caltrans
Title 21 tags.
The ID6300 reader supports a forward data rate of 40Kb/sec and a return link of
240Kb/sec for EPCglobal Class1 Generation2 and a forward and return data link
rate of 300Kb/sec for T-21.
6 Troubleshooting / Technical Support
6.1 General
The reader does not connect to the host software:
• Wrong COM port selected
- Verify the COM port of the reader in the Device Manager.
• Card is not powered
- Verify the green LED is lit on the MIB.
• Boot load switch is in Boot (MIB only)
- Switch the boot loader switch to the normal
6.2 Performance
Reader does not read tags
• Tag is not compliant with reader protocols
- ID6300 reads only Class 1 Gen2 and T-21 tags
• Antenna cables are not connected properly
- Make sure the antenna connections are tight.
• Antenna is polarized perpendicular to tag polarization
- Rotate the tag or the reader antenna 90 degrees.
Reader performance is poor
• Antenna field affected by objects nearby
- Verify the reader’s antenna is free of nearby objects that would
partially cover the antenna; metal, hands, plastics: all these can
effect antenna operation.
• Tag is being obscured by objects nearby
- Tags perform poorly when in close proximity to metals and/or
liquids.
• Low power level
- Increase the transmit power setting
• Poor quality antenna
Read rate is slow
• Inventory period set too high
Adjust inventory period (delay time between reads)

6.3
Tag Programming
Programming of RFID tags is more complicated than simply reading tags: there
is a substantial amount of communication between the tag and reader. Writing to
the tag requires more power for a longer period of time than reading. It is most
often the case that a tag can be read at a longer range than it can be
programmed (assuming the same conditions.)
To improve tag write/programming reliability and success it is
recommended that the tag be brought closer to the antenna so as to
receive the maximum RF field strength. It is important that the tag
and reader not be moving relative to each other. While individual
results will vary depending on tag type, environment and other such
variables, these guidelines have been shown to increase the chance
of successful tag programming.

9 Notices
9.1 RF Connectors and Connections
Caution: Care must be taken during insertion, removal and usage of
the RF Connectors to prevent damage and degradation. Torques of
greater than 1.7 in-lbs (0.19 newton-meters) can damage the MMCX
connectors. It is best to use less torque to reduce the potential for
damage. Use of a flexible RG178/196 cable (or something similar) is
recommended when interfacing to the reader. Damage to the connectors may
render the card unusable. The loads required to break these connectors from
the PC board are moderate but easily achievable in a lab setting. It is possible to
generate a large bending moment using a large diameter cable connected to the
unit.
Note: The ID6300 product includes an automatic circuit to prevent
damage due to improper or no antenna connection.
9.2 RFID Limitations
Communication between tags and readers is a complex phenomenon
that depends on details of the environment surrounding the tags and
reader. Careful installation, testing, development and appropriate

operating procedures are indispensable for successful implementation of RFID.
The user can manipulate some environmental aspects, such as tag placement
and orientation to increase the possibility of a successful reader-tag transaction.
9.3 Safety
Caution: Any use of this equipment with antennas or cabling
installed outdoors or otherwise exposed to inclement weather must
avoid proximity with power lines or other high-voltage conductors and
provide for proper grounding and lightning arresting devices to
protect the equipment user in the event of a lightning strike. See
National Electrical Code (NEC) requirements articles 725, 800 and 810 for further
information.
Do not operate the TQR series readers in any area where critical safety
equipment may be sensitive to RF interference, such as medical or life support
equipment.
Do not operate the TQR series readers on any aircraft in flight or at any other
time when operation of radio devices, such as cellular phones, is prohibited.
Caution: Personnel should not be closer than 20 cm (~8 inches)
