 Page 5 12/21/2004   AWID PROPRIETARY 1. INTRODUCTION  AWID's Sentinel-Sense MPR-2010AN Ver. 1.21N is a long-range (12 to 15 feet) reader with  TCP/IP interface and  general purpose digital I/O (GP I/O - four (4) input four (4) outputs) that works with most leading passive UHF passive tags. This reader comes with a unique combination of long read range, small size, and low power consumption.  MPR-2010 has an internal power converter, allowing it to work with a wide range of supply inputs without affecting its performance. Its primary applications are asset management and tracking, and fleet management applications.   The MPR-2010 reader is delivered with the following components and accessories: •  MPR reader – MPR-2010AN or MPR-2010BN, Firmware Ver. 1.21N  •  Optional where PoE switch or router is not available: o  Power supply – PS48-03A-SW, 50-60 Hz and 110 to 220 VAC.  o Power Injector – PI-2000 o RJ-45 Cable  In order to control the MPR reader you will need the following: •  PC running Windows 98 or higher, CD-ROM drive Network connection •  Host software (AWID’s demo software or your own custom software). •  RFID Tags (EPC Class 0, 1, ISO Type B or EM Micro)   1.1. GENERAL DESCRIPTION & THEORY OF OPERATION  This Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) reader uses radio frequency to identify, locate and track pallets and/or items that carry the appropriate RFID transponders.  MPR-2010 readers work in non-line-of-sight situations and in darkness, bright sun-light, or through dirt, grime and smudges.   A typical RFID system consists of three components – a reader (interrogator), a transponder (card or tag), and a data processing controller.  MPR-2010 has an internal micro-controller section, a transmitter section, a receiver section, and a circular polarized transmit/receive antenna.  Passive transponders (tags or labels) consist of an antenna and an RFID ASIC (Application Specific Integrated Circuits).  During operation, the transmitter sends out an electromagnetic wave to establish a zone of surveillance.  When a transponder enters this zone, the electromagnetic energy from the reader begins to energize the IC in the transponder.  Once the IC is energized, it goes through an initialization process and is ready to accept further commands. Upon receiving a command that queries its identity, the RFID ASIC begins to broadcast its identity through a low-energy back-scattering process, which selectively reflects or “back-scatters” the electromagnetic energy back to the interrogator.  The receiving circuits in the reader sense and decode this “back-scattered” signal and determine the identity of the transponder.

 Page 6 12/21/2004   AWID PROPRIETARY  Passive tags are “beam powered”, which is the electromagnetic energy radiated by the transmitter section of the reader. Upon receiving a legitimated command, the tags will cause the matching of the tags antenna to vary from match to mismatch, thereby causing the tags to either absorb the RF energy or to reflect the RF energy. This absorption or reflection sequence is commanded by the tag’s internal memory and this is how the tag’s internal data are “conveyed” to the reader. The reader in turn monitors the perturbation of the RF energy field, and thereby receives the varying degree of signal reflected from the tag.   One of the unique design features for an RFID reader is that it must simultaneously transmit a strong CW signal, while at the same time, receives a weak reflected signal with little frequency separation. In a traditional design, such functions are implemented through the use of a circulator. As shown in Figure 1, there is a 3-port device between the Coupler and the band pass filter, which is called a circulator. A circulator is physically constructed by a permanent magnet, a Y junction on a high-dielectric ferromagnetic substrate, and a ferromagnetic enclosure to complete the flux field. A circulator permits flow of RF energy in one direction only, e.g. from port 1 to 2, 2 to 3, and 3 to 1. When one of the ports is terminated (matched condition), the other two are isolated in the reverse direction. Many fixed-site RFID readers use circulators to ensure that the power amplifier output flows from the amplifier (port 1) to the antenna (port 2), and the received signal flows from the antenna (port 2) to the receiver (port 3). When properly matched, a circulator can provide typically 15 to 18 dB of isolation between the power amplifier output (port 1) and the receiver input (port 3), thereby reducing any in-band interference from transmitter output to receiver input. MPR-2010 uses a similar circuit to accomplish the same function, but in a much smaller physical size. It should be noted that some fixed-site reader designs use separate transmit and receive antennas to resolve this T/R signal isolation problem. Figure 2 is a block diagram of a dual-antenna RFID reader. On the surface, this design has the advantage of allowing a low-level design on the receive chain, which means lower compression point for mixers, lower saturation point for amplifiers, and the possibility of using a front-end amplifier to enhance receiver sensitivity. Such dual-antenna design becomes problematic in a mobile environment, where signal strength is not easily controlled. A well-designed dual-antenna reader can usually provide 25 to 30 dB of isolation between the two signal paths, reducing the unwanted signal in the receive chain to –20 dBm. However, when the RFID reader antenna is facing a tag placed on a large metallic object at a distance of 12 inches, the reflected transmitter signal at the receiver input can be as high as 13dBm, thereby eliminating any advantage of the dual-antenna design.  In actual circuit implementation, AWID developed a proprietary circuit to duplicate the functions of the circulator, with improved directivity and isolation.

 Page 11 12/21/2004   AWID PROPRIETARY 2.2. MEASURING  READ  DISTANCE Make sure you know the tag types. For certain readers and tags, the user must also be mindful of the tag’s orientation and the reader’s antenna orientation, what mounting surface the tags are designed for and how the tags are supposed to be mounted. Any departure from its intended purpose will drastically affect the reader’s ability to energize the tag and its read range.  When measuring the reader’s read range, make sure that the tag is properly oriented to the reader antenna, and for optimum performance, be sure the operator’s finger is not within three (3) inches of the tag’s antenna surface.

Bench Top Verification It is always a good idea to verify system operation before committing to a full-scale installation (e.g., as shown in Figure 4, page 18). The following are the necessary steps to test reader’s operation in a static environment.  •  You must first check to see if your network switch or router is equipped with PoE                             (Power over Ethernet).  If switch is PoE, connect network cable to just one (1) MPR-2010AN/BN unit. Skip the next two steps unless the IP address of connected unit cannot be obtained. •  If your network is not equipped with PoE, obtain a power injector (PI-2000), and 48V DC wall plug power supply and a short network RJ-45 cable (all available from AWID under part number PI-2000, PS48-03A and RJ-45 cable). •  Connect the RJ-45 cable between the reader and “READER” port of PI-2000, connect the wall plug power supply to POWER port of PI-2000 and connect the Ethernet (RJ-45) cable from the Ethernet Hub (if in use) to “HUB or SWITCH” port of PI-2000 or in the case where there is no such hub, connect from PC to the port using a Crossover CAT5 cable.   Power up computer  Follow instructions on Local Set Up (Figure 6 or Figure 7) of an MPR-2010AN. •  Load the demo program CD onto (installation) PC and launch the demo program. Try Connect after filling in the IP address of reader and then some commands once connected.  3.2.2.  Aiming of Antenna Antenna Pattern for MPR-2010 MPR-2010 comes with a circular polarized antenna, to ensure reading tag with random orientation. Most circular polarized antenna has a horizontal to vertical differential of up to 3 dB, this will cause the antenna pattern to deviate from a true circle.

Mounting Considerations  Antenna Mounting Bracket                                              2 Radio Frequency Interference Also available from AWID is an optional antenna-mounting bracket (part # LRMB) that provides antenna tilt adjustment and pan adjustment. Photo at right shows how the reader is mounted onto the LRMB. (Ignore the wire that does not apply to MPR-2010AN/BN. This was photographed from an MPR-2010AR.)     Formatted: Bullets and Numbering
 Page 14 12/21/2004   AWID PROPRIETARY 3.3. INSTALLATION  STEPS  • Check to ensure that all connections are secure.  Make sure all wires through the cable clamps are anchored properly; avoid dangling wires that may become safety hazard.  •  Mount the Reader using the two recessed threaded holes to fasten to reader on the desired mounting surface. Please note that the threaded inserts are closed ended, user must select screws with exact length to ensure proper tightening of the mounting screws. In cases where the reader aiming is critical, please order antenna-mounting bracket (P/N LRMB) from AWID. This mounting bracket provides pan/tilt adjustment for the reader. User can also drill holes through the plate as required at the desired distance from the Reader.  Formatted: Bullets and Numbering

Setting Up MPR-2010AN or BN Refer to the Set Up Procedure for MPR-2010AN/BN document. 4.1.2.  Running a Custom Software Application or the AWID Demo Program If AWID Demo Program is not used, it is expected user will launch a Custom Software Application developed using the MPR_2010AN/BN TCP/IP Interface to send commands as specified to the reader.  4.1.3. Operating Modes Typical operating modes for MPR-2010 can be grouped into the following modes:  Search Mode – This mode is used when operator or user is not certain which family of tags is placed on the items to be tracked. Since most tags are deterministic in nature, the reader must cycle through each and every protocol, issue a protocol specific inquiry, to hail and to wait for a response from tags of that specific protocol. Therefore, if there are many different protocols, for an untrained observer, the reader response will become sluggish.  Mixed Mode:  This mode assumes the user is aware of the types of protocol in use, and furthermore, the user made a determined effort to operate the reader in a mixed protocol mode. In this mode, the user can decide how many and which specific protocols to be selected. Once Mix Protocol Mode is selected, the reader will routinely cycle through each protocol, dwell long enough for the reader to wait for a response and then move onto the next protocol. It should be noted that in a mixed protocol mode, the tag must have sufficient time to respond to the reader, and therefore, it can only be used on a conveyor belt arrangement, with specific speed restrictions.   Single Protocol Mode Single protocol is the normal mode of operation, where the protocol type is known and many tags are expected to pass through the readers.   Interactive Read Mode  TBD  Autonomous Read Mode3 When the reader is in autonomous mode, the reader is placed under the control of its two sensing inputs, which will most likely be in the form of photo sensors, ground loop sensors, weight triggering mechanism or simple remote command. Upon receiving the sensing input, the reader will switch to a pre-programmed single-protocol, multi-protocol and in the case of a conveyor installation, fast-read mode and start reading functions. Upon intercept of a RFID tag, the reader will automatically output the tag ID and after a                                              3 Not yet available in 1.21N.
