PREFACE
The 5000/5100 stationary batch terminals are intended for versatile data collection
applications with its large and expandable database capacity, and allow
programmable solutions to meet varying needs of customers. Various operational
parameters can be configured, such as backlight control, buzzer control, graphic
screen and output format.
Integrated with a proximity reader and backlit keypad, the 5000 terminal simply
satisfies general needs regarding large data collection. Based on the 5000 terminal,
the 5100 terminal comes with a backlit LCD for displaying information. Alternatively,
both models can make use of a battery pack for achieving a non-interruptible
operation during power outage. Without such power backup, the terminals will not
function during a power fail, but all transaction and configuration data stored in
memory will be maintained by the 3V lithium button cell for at least one week.
The 5000/5100 terminals can be easily added to your legacy networks. Multiple
networking options include RS-232, RS-485 and 10/100Base-T Ethernet. Moreover,
detachable terminal blocks make it easy and flexible to connect with other external
devices, such as a reader, door switch, siren, door sensor, electronic lock, etc.
This manual serves to guide you through how to install, configure, and operate the
5000/5100 terminals. The Care & Maintenance section is specifically prepared for
those who are in charge of taking care of the terminals.
We recommend you to keep one copy of the manual at hand for quick reference or
maintenance purposes. To avoid any improper disposal or operation, please read the
manual thoroughly before use.
Thank you for choosing the CipherLAB products!

CARE & MAINTENANCE
This is specifically prepared for those who are in charge of taking care of the terminals,
such as a terminal operator or maintenance engineer.
Here are some tips on how to take care and maintain the terminals.
Taking care of the terminal
z Always keep electric equipments like the terminals away from any flammable
sources.
z Always make sure there is stable power supply for the terminal to operate
properly.
z This terminal is intended for indoor use. It may do damage to the terminals when
being exposed to extreme temperatures or soaked wet.
z When the body of the terminal gets dirty, use a clean and wet cloth to wipe off the
dust. DO NOT use/mix any bleach or cleaner. Always keep the LCD dry.
z For a liquid crystal display (LCD), DO NOT use any pointed or sharp objects to
move against the surface.
Maintaining the terminal
z If you want to put away the terminal for a period of time, download the collected
data to a host first, and then take out the battery pack. Store the terminal and
battery pack separately.
z When the terminal resumes its work, the rechargeable main and backup batteries
will take a certain time to become fully charged.
z If you shall find the terminal malfunctioning, refer to the Troubleshooting section
for self help first.
z If the problem persists, please write down the specific scenario and consult your
local sales representative.
z In no circumstances, users are allowed to repair components.

1.3 Features
1.3.1 Power
Line Power & Main Battery
A 12 V/ 1000 mA wall adaptor is used to power the 5000/5100 terminals. Furthermore,
an optional 7.4 V/ 2000 mAh Li-ion battery pack provides more than six extra hours of
uninterrupted operations when the line power is down. Such power switching
mechanism is actuated by a power switch, which seamlessly switches between the
line power and the battery pack without any user’s intervention.
When the line power is resumed and the battery pack has been used up, an on-board
battery charging controller fully charges the battery pack within twenty hours. This
controller chip helps to assure fast and safe charge by monitoring/controlling the
battery voltage, temperature, charging current and so on. It also includes a
mechanism to provide protection from over charging.
When a power outage occurs, the main battery is to maintain operation for more than six
hours.
Backup Battery
In addition, one 3.0 V/7 mAh rechargeable Lithium button cell on the main board
retains data in SRAM and maintains the running of the real-time clock and calendar. It
takes at least twenty-four hours to fully charge the backup battery.
For a fully charged backup battery, it can last for at least one week.

Introducing 5000/5100:
Features
Power Consumption Status
The System Menu provides information on power consumption.
z Monitor voltage level: Line / Main / Backup >> Also see Section 4.3.5 Power
For the 5100 terminal, the smart battery icon will replace the plug icon on the screen
when it is battery-operated. Here is another way to tell a low or discharged main
battery from the screen.
z Examine the levels of the smart battery icon
Utilizing the low voltage/power technology, the terminal draws very little power. The
power consumption is estimated in different conditions as follows:
EM reader – backlight off:

Table 1: Power consumption
It can be easily seen that there are still some rooms for the adaptor’s supply capability.
However, it is strongly recommended to use other supplies to power heavy loads such
as door locks, alarms and so on. Also, if possible, keep these heavy loads electrically
isolated from the terminal. Electronic equipments such as the terminal tend to be
upset by surges from surrounding “noisy” devices.

2.2.3 RS-485
Connections between every two terminals are set up through RS-485 interface. When
more than two of the terminals are connected (as a multi-station system), a host only
needs to connect to the first one terminal (master) and it can then communicate with
the rest terminals (slave).
On the last slave device, a termination resistor is usually essential. There is one
terminator on the PCB of each terminal, and a DIP switch (s1) is beside JP3. When
the terminal serves as the last one slave device, please turn on the switch.
Figure 20: Terminator’s switch
Slide the DIP switch to the right position on the last salve device.
To establish such RS-485 connection, the following settings need to be done first on
the hardware of the terminals. For preloaded applications, set parameters from the
front panel by entering the Setup Menu.
>> Also see Section 3. System Architecture
z Line Connection:
Only the device connected to a host is named “Master”, the rest are all “Slave”.
z Station ID:
Assign a unique ID (01 ~ 99) to each terminal.
z Maximum station ID:
Set a value (01 ~ 99) as the maximum station ID of the polling list on the Master.
For RS-485 connection without any repeaters, up to 32 stations can be connected.

According to different purposes for which the modules serve, the software inside the
terminal also can be viewed in the following way:
Menus Purposes
Setup Menu
OR
User-defined menu
Setup Menu is generated by the proprietary 5100*.SHX
program. The menu functions and access keys depend on
the application program you download to the terminal.
System Menu
A portal to system configurations.
Kernel Menu
Generally, this is for manufacturing use only.
Program Manager
A portal to manage multiple programs.
Table 14: Purposes of software modules/menus
Because the 5000 terminal comes without the LCD screen, we suggest you keep the
manual at hand while configuring the terminals.
3.1 Operation
After being properly configured and physically set up together with peripherals, the
terminal is ready to work when a corresponding management utility is ready at PC
end.
Applications scope include Access Control system, Time & Attendance, Shop Floor
Control, etc. It depends on which application program is running.
Proper configuration is very important for a system that consists of a number of terminals.
38

IEEE 802.11b
When the 802.11b module is installed, the terminal can easily connect to legacy
networks through access points (APs). Roaming among different networks is possible.
IEEE 802.11b is an industrial standard for Wireless Local Area Networking (WLAN),
which enables wireless communications over a long distance.
The speed of connection between two wireless devices will vary with range and signal
quality. To maintain a reliable connection, the 802.11b system automatically fallback
from 11 Mbps to 5.5, 2 or 1 Mbps as range increases or signal quality decreases.
An 802.11b network can operate in the following two modes:
Infrastructure mode - Wireless devices can communicate with each other or can
communicate with wired networks through APs.
Ad-hoc mode - Wireless devices or stations can communicate directly to each other,
without the use of APs.
802.11b Specification
Frequency Range: 2.4 ~ 2.483 GHz
Modulation: DSSS with DBPSK (1 Mbps), DQPSK (2 Mbps), CCK
Protocols: IP/TCP/UDP
Maximum Output Power: 100 mW
Data rate: 11, 5.5, 2, 1 Mbps auto-fallback
Coverage: 250 meters line-of-sight
