MPR-5005 Page 5 Doc# 041326 1.0 INTRODUCTION AWID's MPR-5005 reader is a Radio Frequency IDentification (RFID) reader operating at 125kHz with Ethernet or RS-232 I/O interface. It has an internal power converter, allowing it to work with a wide range of supply inputs without affecting its performance. The MPR-5005 readers are delivered with the following components and accessories:  Antenna: MPR-5007 (single antenna) or MPR-5011A/B (dual antenna)  Power supply: Input = 110 VAC ~ 240VAC, 50~60Hz. Output: 12 VDC, 1 A  RF Cables: Two 6-foot cables are included with MPR-5011A/B antenna. RF cable is connected to the MPR-5007 Antenna. To control the MPR-5005 reader you will need the following:  PC running Windows 98 or higher, one RJ45 Ethernet or one RS-232 serial port. 1.1 THEORY OF OPPERATION AWID MPR-5005 Reader design for communicating with Atmel AT24RF08 chip transponder (TAG HPPN 0960-2349) in working frequency at 125KHz. MPR-5005 RFID reader use small loop low frequency antenna, matched inductance is 220uH. Reader provides all controls and RF energy to activate the transponder. Two different antenna configurations can be connected to the readers BNC connector. The reader checks the received transponder (tag) and responds to an end-user computer via Ethernet (LAN) or RS232 communication. MPR-5007 is the single antenna solution for the MPR-5005 reader. The MPR-5007 antenna measures 25.5” x 21.5” x 0.75” and is shielded from EM interferences to increase performance of the reader system. Antenna housing is made from molded Polystyrene (PS) and is connected to the reader via BNC coaxial cable. Read range is typically 20-inches ± 0.5”. MPR-5011A and MPR-5011B are a paired antenna solution for the MPR-5005 reader. The antennas measure 20” x 10” x 1.5” and is shielded from EM interferences to increase performance of the reader system. Antenna backing is made from Type 1 PVC, and the top cover is molded Polystyrene (PS). The antenna pair is connected to the reader via coaxial cable with BNC ends. The dual antennas are placed opposite each other to achieve a read range of 32”. Polarity is important for these antennas; the AWID top covers must be facing each other. AWID PROPRIETARY

MPR-5005 Page 9 Doc# 041326 3.2 INSTALLATION 3.2.1 Site location The professional installer should select a suitable indoor location for set-up of the reader, antennas, and PC. An AC mains socket should be available to plug in the readers 12V supply. Antennas should not be mounted on metal, or mounted within close proximity of devices generating large amounts of electro-magnetic interference i.e. electric motors. 3.2.2 Reader Location Position reader, RF cables, power cables, and communication cables, so all can easily reached the proper connections on the reader. The reader should be mounted on a flat surface, horizontal or vertical, by placing bolts or screws through predrilled holes near the corners of the reader. 3.2.3 Antenna Connections The MPR-5005 reader can be connected with one of two antenna configurations: Single antenna (MPR-5007) or dual antenna (MPR-5011A + MPR-5011B). Both have BNC RF connectors. MPR-5007 Single Antenna: Plug RF connector from antenna into the RF connector on the reader. MPR-5011A/B Dual Antenna: Connect the two antennas together via one 6-foot RF cable. Labels on each antenna direct connection route. Connect the antenna pair to the reader by using the additional 6-foot RF cable, once again, following labels on antennas. AWID PROPRIETARY
MPR-5005 Page 10 Doc# 041326 3.3 OPERATION 1. Connect antenna(s) to reader 2. Connect reader to PC via crossover Ethernet cable 3. Set PC’s local IP address to 192.168.1.26, Mask to 255.255.255.0 (Default). Leave additional options blank. Reboot will be required for PC’s running Windows 2000 or earlier. To find Network Connections: Control Panel / Network Connections / LAN > Properties. Pop-up window, select TCP/IP > Properties > select Use the fallowing IP Address > Set IP Address. 4. Power on reader (Plug power supply into wall and 12V jack into reader) 5. Wait approximately 1 minute for reader to initialize 6. Run RFTagger.exe on PC. RFTagger is HP proprietary user interface software. 7. Connect to reader. In the Reader menu, select Set IP. A box will pop-up asking for the readers IP address. Enter the correct reader IP address (default 192.168.1.91) and click connect. Connection to the reader will be verified by displaying the units’ firmware version in the Status text box. Note: The PC’s local IP address must be fixed. AWID suggests local IP address of 192.168.1.26, mask set to default (255.255.255.0) 8. The reader can now interrogate RFID tags. To verify tag-reading capability, select FIND TAGS from the drop-down menu in the Command box and click Continuous. When a tag enters the read-field, its data will be displayed in the Status text box. AWID PROPRIETARY
MPR-5005 Page 11 Doc# 041326 AWID PROPRIETARY 4 SOFTWARE The other options in the drop-down list in the Command box give the user full-functionality of the RFID Tag. The tag has different blocks, and pages of memory that can be read, and written to. These other options are as follows: o FIND TAGS o READ BLOCK o READ PAGE o WRITE PAGE o WRITE READ PAGE o READ BYTES o WRITE BYTES o WRITE READ BYTES With each command, the user can choose to execute the command once or in a continuous mode.
