IDSmart UHF Security Gate User Manual © Copyright 2014 ClarIDy Solutions, Inc. All rights reserved. 16/40 2. Deploying the Security Gate Once the security gate has been installed in the designated area, most likely somewhere near the exit, users may examine the functionality of the security gate by walking through the gate with books that has been encoded. The security gate can operate even without network connectivity. This design ensures security policies continue to be enforced during network or server failure. The security gate will trigger the alarm and switch to alert status if there is any book with security flag enabled. By default, books returned to the library will have security flag enabled whereas books successfully borrowed by patron will have security flag disabled. The security gate has blue light lit when it’s in normal status. The security gate will trigger the alarm, which is the combination of buzzer sound and red light flashing when it’s in alert status. To validate the security gate, users can perform three basic scenarios below and check the corresponding light and sound of the security gate. Scenario Light and Sound 1. Walk through the gate without carrying any books Blue 2. Carry a book that has not been borrowed (security flag enabled) Red with Buzzer 3. Carry a book that has been borrowed (security flag disabled) Blue Security Gate Normal Security Gate Alert If the security gate is not functioning as expected, users may perform diagnosis by referring to steps in section 5. Testing the Component of the Equipment.
IDSmart UHF Security Gate User Manual © Copyright 2014 ClarIDy Solutions, Inc. All rights reserved. 17/40 3. The System Connectivity The system is configured to boot up automatically into embedded Linux. The blue LED light bar will be turned on when the equipment is ready. The following section provides user with more information regarding the configuration of the peripherals or components. 3.1. Ethernet Port Two Ethernet port sockets are located at the lower part of the main panel. One of the port is labeled as "Reader Setup Port" and the other is labeled as "LAN Comm. Port" Reader Setup Port (Item #2) LAN Comm. Port (Item #1) MAC Address 00:05:7B:82:02:5C 48:D8:FE:F0:00:01 IP Address 192.168.25.203 192.168.10.210 Usage Reserved for reader setup, debug and testing only, not for application. Connect to Local Area Network for communication with other system and remote access to the system. Both port are set to static IP address. The reader setup port doesn't need to be connected to the network, it is only use for setup and tuning. The LAN communication port is the main interface between the equipment and the network server or remote access client. To make the equipment accessible for local area network, either adjust the network to 192.168.10.x or change the default IP address of the LAN Comm. Port. Refer to section 4.2. Accessing and Changing the UHF Security Gate Network Configuration for information on how to change IP address of the LAN Communication. Port. Note: Users should not change the IP Address of the reader through the Reader Setup Port. Changing the IP Address will disconnect the reader from the embedded board. If user has accidentally change the IP address using the reader test tool. Use the tool to search the reader and change it back to the default IP address. 1 2
IDSmart UHF Security Gate User Manual © Copyright 2014 ClarIDy Solutions, Inc. All rights reserved. 18/40 3.2. LED Light Bar The LED light bar is used primarily as warning indicators. To accommodate various requirement, two type of LED light are available for control, namely Red and Blue. In general, red lights represent warning/alert and blue lights represent normal condition. The LED lights are control with different digital output of the embedded board, making it also possible to turn both LED on simultaneously. In general application, either red or blue light are used at a single point of time. 3.3. Buzzer The buzzer is used together with the LED light to constitute the effect of alarm. Only on/off control can be set. 3.4. Counter The eight digits counter is used to record the amount of people that go through the gate. The detection is normally done through IR sensor. The counter can also be reset programmatically if there is special request. In general application, software counter is used because software counter offers the flexibility of counting visitor within a period of time. 3.5. PIR Sensor and IR Sensor The PIR sensor is meant to detect human motion that it faced within a distance of approximately 2M. The IR sensor is meant to detect people walking through the equipment. Both sensors can be used to trigger activity such as tag detection, alarm or counting. The IR sensor installed is retro-reflective type. A reflector is located at the other side of the panel (image #3 as shown below). If an object or person comes in between of the IR sensor and the reflector, the IR sensor signal is triggered. This can been determined by looking at the orange LED light of the IR sensor. When there is nothing detected, the orange LED is off (image #2).

Besides the internal Ethernet interface that connected to the Embedded Board. The equipment also includes an external Ethernet Port (i.e. The Reader Setup Port) for accessing the reader externally. This is particularly useful when user wish to calibrate and tune the equipment for tag detection. 4. Modifying the Default Network Configuration The security gate's network configuration (i.e. the configuration of LAN communication port) can be changed by accessing the equipment through remote access terminal. SSH protocol is selected for better security. This LAN communication port is the only port that user may change according to the deployed networking environment. 4.1. Initial Network Configuration of UHF Security Gate The factory default network configuration of the UHF Security Gate is as follows. IP Address 192.168.10.210 1 2 3
IDSmart UHF Security Gate User Manual © Copyright 2014 ClarIDy Solutions, Inc. All rights reserved. 20/40 Netmask 255.255.255.0 Gateway 192.168.10.253 Preferred DNS Server 8.8.8.8 Alternative DNS Server 8.8.4.4 4.2. Accessing and Changing the UHF Security Gate Network Configuration There are two approaches to make the equipment accessible, either through changing the network configuration of the equipment or the network configuration of the local area network. Normally, changing equipment's network configuration is more feasible and practical. To access the reader, please follow the steps below.  Prepare a Notebook or computer with Ethernet adapter.  Modify the network configuration with static IP and netmask. This will make the computer or Notebook resides at the same network as the equipment. IP Address 192.168.10.x (x can be any number between 1 to 252) Netmask 255.255.255.0  Connect the Ethernet port of the computer or Notebook and UHF Security Gate "LAN Comm. Port" with a standard cat 5 network cable.  Use SSH client to connect to the equipment. If this is the first time connecting to the equipment, a security alert dialog pops up. Select "Yes" to continue. The username and password to be used is as follows. Username: sshuser Password : IDSmart  Modify "/home/sshuser/outgoing_network.config" to fit the current network environment settings by typing "vi outgoing_network.config" at the command prompt. This opens an editor window for changing the configuration.
IDSmart UHF Security Gate User Manual © Copyright 2014 ClarIDy Solutions, Inc. All rights reserved. 21/40 sshuser@freescale ~$ vi outgoing_network.config  After finish editing the network configuration, type ":wq" to save the configuration file.  Restart or reboot the equipment. Always remember the IP Address (OUTGOING_IPADDR) and the Subnet Mask (OUTGOING_NETMASK) that are changed. When the equipment restarts, the remote access will no longer available if the network of the notebook or computer are different from the equipment. If for any reason users can no longer access remotely, the configuration can also only be changed through accessing the system via console port. The console port can only be connected through maintenance access of the equipment. Gateway is used when the equipment communicates across different network. Be sure that the DEL_GATEWAY and ADD_GATEWAY has the same address. DNS_SERVER1 and DNS_SERVER2 must be set if the equipment is communicating with other devices on the network using naming system instead of IP address. 5. Testing the Component of the Equipment Once the equipment is ready, an illegal item such as an un-borrowed book will trigger alarm when it is carry through the security gate. If the security gate is not function as expected, users may switch to debug mode and perform diagnostic on each component during troubleshooting. The equipment is remotely accessed using SSH remote access software such as "Putty". The remote access software should be installed on a computer. To simplify the testing process, the remote access software can be installed on a notebook. A direct connection can be hooked up between the notebook and the equipment using Ethernet cable without changing the network configuration of the equipment (see section 1.4.6 Preparation for Testing the Equipment).
IDSmart UHF Security Gate User Manual © Copyright 2014 ClarIDy Solutions, Inc. All rights reserved. 22/40 The connection can only be made if the computer that has the remote access software installed can reach the equipment.  Ping the equipment from the computer to ensure that network connectivity is OK. If it is a direct connection, check cable if the equipment has no response.  Allow bi-directional access of port 22 as the equipment SSH protocol is configured to listen and communicate through port 22. If it is a direct connection, check if there is any antivirus or firewall security software that blocks this port when connection fails. Consult the network administrator for further advice and information on the local area network configuration. If the equipment and the computer is located on two different networks, the gateway configuration of the equipment must be changed. 5.1. Connecting to the Equipment Start the SSH remote access tool. "Putty" is used as the SSH remote access tool throughout this user manual, users are free to choose different tool. Type the IP address of the equipment in the "Host Name (or IP address)" textbox and click "Open" button. 1 2
IDSmart UHF Security Gate User Manual © Copyright 2014 ClarIDy Solutions, Inc. All rights reserved. 23/40 If this is a first time connection, a security alert will be shown. Choose "Yes" to accept the security key for future connection, as we are pretty sure that we are connecting to the intended equipment. The default username and password is listed below. User can change the password with Linux change password command once connected. Username: sshuser Password : IDSmart A command shell is shown when the login is successful. Most of the common Linux command works under this shell, but some may not since it is embedded Linux. 5.2. Switching to Debug Mode The security gate is started up in service mode. To perform diagnostic, the user must switch the security gate to debug mode. After successful logged in with the "sshuser" account, user should be in the home directory of the user, run the debug mode script by typing "./security-gate-DebugMode.sh" in the shell. sshuser@freescale ~$ ./security-gate-DebugMode.sh When the script executed, the security gate will reboot and user can log in to the system running the debug mode. Always switch to debug mode when performing diagnostic and configuration of the system. The reboot process will kick the remote access connection so users will need to reconnect to the system once the system restart. The LED light of the security gate will not turn to blue after reboot to debug mode. 5.3. Running the Demo Program for Diagnosis A demo program is developed to facilitate the testing of the equipment. The demo program can test individual components of the equipment and is therefore very handy when performing diagnosis. Before running the demo program, be sure that the system is in "debug mode". The demo program is preinstalled in the equipment. It is located under the directory "/usr/local/security-gate-demo/". When login, change the directory to "security-gate-demo" and
