1.4. Quick Start

There are four different parts in the delivery package, which is, (a) the main panel of the

gate, (b) the secondary panel of the gate, (c) the slot fitting that connects the mounting plate of

the gate panels, (d) the cover of the slot fitting.

The standard product does not come with mounting plate or base plate. The enclosed

mounting plates and slot fitting are designed to facilitate the testing of the equipment. In actual

deployment, the equipment is mounted to the floor and cabling is done through a wiring conduit

or duct (See section 7. Appendix - Security Gate Mounting).

Upon unpacking the equipment, users should assemble the security gate in accordance to

the steps described in this section. The equipment must be assembled on a flat and level floor.

Failure of doing so will cause unexpected behavior and result. For best result, allow a 2 meter

clearance space for the equipment, as illustrated below.

IDSmart UHF Security Gate User Manual

1.4.1. Raising the Panels

Unpack the main and secondary panel. The main panel can be identified by either looking

at the cable or the counter of the panel. The main panel should have 4 short RF cables, 2

Ethernet connector socket, a signal cable and a power cable coming out from the mounting

plate. Whereas, the secondary panel has 4 longer RF cables and a signal cable. The main

panel (item #1 in the following diagram) and the secondary panel (item #2) should be 780mm

apart standing with their mounting plate opening (#3) facing each other.

1.4.2. Connecting and Holding the Panels Together

Get the slot fitting part and snap one side to the secondary panel and the other side to the

main panel as illustrated below. The cables (not seen in the diagram below) should remain on

top of the mounting plate. By snapping both the mounting plate with the slot fitting, the main and

secondary panel are hold together and stand firmly on the floor.

1.4.3. Arranging and Wiring the Cables

After securing the panels on the floor, put the RF cables and signal cables on the slot.

Place RF cables together away from the signal cable. Connect the RF cables and the signal

cable by plugging the male plug to the female jack. Make sure that the RF cables are tightly

secured.

IDSmart UHF Security Gate User Manual

The RF cables are labeled with Channel "A" to "D", be sure that cable with the same

channel labeled are connected together. The signal connector is a fool-proof connector.

1.4.4. Covering Up the Slot Fitting

When the wiring is done, take the cover and slide it into the top area of the slot. The left

end of the cover has a small opening that allow Ethernet cable and power cable to go through.

In standard installation, power and Ethernet cable are within the equipment itself.

1.4.5 Switching On the Equipment

Ensure that proper power (115VAC for Model J, 230VAC for Model A & C) is supplied to

the equipment by plugging the power cable to the socket. The on/off switch is underneath the

lamp shade of the main panel to prevent tampering. Use a thin rod to push the switch to turn on

the power. When the equipment is ready, the blue LED light bar on top of the gate will be lit.

IDSmart UHF Security Gate User Manual

1.4.6 Preparation for Testing the Equipment

A notebook or computer with Ethernet adapter is required in order to setup the equipment

for testing. The default IP address of the equipment is set to 192.168.10.210 with subnet mask

of 255.255.255.0. Users are advised to set their notebook or computer Ethernet adapter to the

same network (i.e. 192.168.10.x). Then, plug one end of the Ethernet cable to the LAN

communication port of the equipment and the other end to the Ethernet adapter of the computer

or notebook. Follow instructions on section "1.5. Installation of the UHF Security Gate Tools" to

install the software tools to the notebook or computer.

1.5. Installation of the UHF Security Gate Tools

The release media include installation package for UHF Security Gate Tools. These tools

are useful in verifying the security gate peripheral functionalities. To install the package, run

"setup.exe". Dependency packages such as .NET Framework and Visual C++ Runtime are

installed first following by the setup welcome screen. Proceed as instructed.

IDSmart UHF Security Gate User Manual

Upon completing the installation process, the system creates a shortcut named "UHF

Security Gate Tools" on the desktop.

The tools installed are WinSCP, Putty and UHF Reader Tool. These tools are used to

access the equipment in the upcoming section of the user manual.

Alternatively, users could also install their choice of ssh client or obtain tool pack that

doesn’t required installation from technical support.

1.6. SAFETY NOTES

The equipment can only be operated at the stated supply voltage. If the supply voltage is

too high, there is a risk of fire.

Always turn off power before performing any maintenance activities or touching any interior

part and exterior connection cables of the equipment. Failure to do so might lead to injuries.

There is a risk of health.

Appropriate means are provided to dissipate the heat generated within this equipment. The

equipment must however not be installed in a cabinet or on shelves with insufficient ventilation..

There is a risk of fire.

must not be placed close to sources of heat, exposed to direct sunlight or operated in a damp

environment. The equipment may only be operated in the condition stated in the specification.

IDSmart UHF Security Gate User Manual

Do not place anything which has a naked flame on the equipment. There is a risk of fire.

Connection, installation and maintenance work, as well as all other work on the unit, may

only be carried out by properly qualified and trained personnel. Unauthorized changes to the

unit and the use of spare parts and peripheral devices which are not sold or recommended by

the manufacturer can result in fires, electric shocks and injuries. Such actions therefore result in

exclusion of liability and make the manufacturer’s warranty/guarantee null and void.

IDSmart UHF Security Gate User Manual

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

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.

IDSmart UHF Security Gate User Manual

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).

IDSmart UHF Security Gate User Manual

3.6. UHF RFID Reader

The 16-port UHF RFID reader is conformed to EPC UHF Class 1 Gen 2 and capable of

supporting ISO18000-6C protocol. It is connected to the Ethernet interface of the embedded

board. The reader and the embedded board each has a fixed IP address assigned ensuring

direct communication between these two units..

Setting Value

Embedded Board Ethernet Port IP 192.168.25.210

Embedded Board Network Mask 255.255.255.0

UHF RFID Reader IP 192.168.25.203

UHF RFID Reader Network Mask 255.255.255.0

Note: User should not change the default IP address of the UHF RFID Reader.

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

IDSmart UHF Security Gate User Manual

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

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

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

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

IDSmart UHF Security Gate User Manual

run the "./demo.sh" shell script.

sshuser@freescale ~$ cd /usr/local/security-gate-demo

sshuser@freescale /usr/local/security-gate-demo$ ./demo.sh

After executing the demo program, the context shell of the demo program is loaded. Type

"help" to see commands available for the demo program. Please refer to the SDK reference

manual for detailed usage.

The sensors are put to monitoring the external event, which is people coming near the

equipment or passing through the equipment.

To make the testing straight forward, the buzzer beeps once when the sensors are

triggered. Due to the nature of fast sensor response, the sensor response are deliberately

slowed down through software programming so that the equipment is not over reacted or too

sensitive to motion. The following example starts the PIR sensor monitoring process and stop it

[Demo] Start Demo Program.

When PIR sensor monitoring process started, stand in front of the equipment and move

around (e.g. walk toward the gate). When the PIR sensor detects the motion, the buzzer's beep

can be heard. Once detected, the PIR sensor stop detecting until one second later.

When IR sensor is started, walk through the security gate. The buzzer beeps when the

user passes through the IR sensor.

5.8. UHF RFID Reader Verification

The reader is connected internally to the embedded board through Ethernet port. The

IDSmart UHF Security Gate User Manual

reader is assigned a static IP address and connected to a designated IP address of the

embedded board. User should not change this IP address as they are private internal IP

address. The internal IP address of the UHF reader is set to 192.168.25.203. The following

example starts a reader connection and set the Q value parameter of the reader. Q value is one

of many parameters of UHF EPC C1G2. The parameters can be adjusted based on various

scenario, this is out of the scope of this user manual. Consult RFID technical expert for

optimization of these values. Connection to the reader is required before performing any

inventory or tag reading operation.

5.9. Switching to Service Mode

Once the user has completed the diagnosis, the system should be switched to service

mode. The service mode script is located in the home directory of the "sshuser". Change the

directory to "/home/sshuser". the run the debug mode script by typing

"./security-gate-DebugMode.sh" in the shell.

sshuser@freescale /usr/local/security-gate-demo$ cd /home/sshuser

sshuser@freescale ~$ ./security-gate-ServiceMode.sh

When the script executed, the security gate will reboot and switch to service mode. Always

switch to debug mode when performing diagnostic and configuration of the system. In service

mode, the security gate LED will be red when restarting and turn to blue when it is ready to

service. If the LED doesn’t switch from red to blue within 20sec, login to the system again to

correct the issue.

6. Accessing the UHF RFID Reader with Security Gate Tools

The UHF RFID Reader is internally connected to the embedded board. To facilitate testing

and tuning, the security gate tools include a program that can directly connect to the reader

through the Ethernet Port labeled "Reader Setup Port". This tool is especially useful when

developers wish to test different setting of the reader and antenna to optimize the result of the

IDSmart UHF Security Gate User Manual

security gate detection. One of the key successful factors of UHF RFID equipment deployment

is environment. This tool provides a way to easily perform on site tuning with portable computer

such as Notebook.

6.1. Prerequisite of using the UHF Reader Tool

Before using the tool, install the tool to the computer according to the instructions

described in section 1.5. Installation of the UHF Security Gate Tools.

The computer Ethernet interface configuration will need to be changed to ensure the

computer residing on the same network as the UHF RFID reader. The reader has a static IP

address of 192.168.25.203 and subnet mask of 255.255.255.0. As a result, the IP address of

the computer should be set to 192.168.25.X (except 192.168.25.0 and 192.168.25.203) with

the same subnet mask. The following example set the computer IP address to 192.168.25.21

6.2. Connecting to the UHF RFID Reader

Double click "Claridy UHF Security Gate Tools" shortcut on the desktop and double click

the "UHF Reader Tool" shortcut to run the tool.

An initial search dialog is presented when the program is executed. Click "Search" button

to discover the reader. Since the UHF RFID reader and the computer are allocated to the same

network, the discovery process is pretty straight forward.

IDSmart UHF Security Gate User Manual

This equipment's UHF RFID reader is capable of controlling 16 antenna ports. Only 8

antenna ports (Port 8 to 15) are attached to antenna for this equipment. The tool automatically

enables port 8 to 15 and disables port 0 to 7 when "Antenna Config" is executed for the first

time. Users may configure the Dwell time, Inventory Cycle and Power Level of each antenna

port. Click "Apply" button to apply setting to a single antenna port. Click "Apply All" to apply

setting to all antenna ports according to what configured on the screen. The Antenna can be

switched on and off by clicking the corresponding radio button. The following configuration will

allow the equipment to scan through 8 antennas in 2 seconds as the dwell time for each

antenna port is 250ms.

Further adjustment can be done. The tool is handy for experimenting with different setting

of the equipment. Check the result of the setting by doing an inventory cycle.

6.4. Performing Inventory Operation

After setting up the desired value for the reader and antenna ports, users can then check

the result by performing inventory operation through the tool. Start the inventory operation by

selecting "Start" under the "Inventory" sub menu.

IDSmart UHF Security Gate User Manual

Place tags near to the equipment and the detected tag information shall display on the grid.

Port, RSSI, Read Count and Missing Cycle Count can be used to determine the effect of the

parameter set for the reader and antenna ports.

Stop the inventory by selecting "Stop" under the "Inventory" sub menu.

Select "Exit" from the menu if users wish to end current connection with the reader. Note

IDSmart UHF Security Gate User Manual

that only one connection can be made to the reader at the same time.

6.5. Setting the API Level of the UHF RFID Reader

The UHF RFID reader has two modes when it comes to API. The demo program provided

with the equipment uses low level API to communicate with the reader. Whereas, the UHF

reader tool uses high level API to communicate with the reader. When connecting to the reader

using the UHF reader tool, the tool automatically checks the mode of the API. The tool

automatically switches to high level API mode if it finds that the reader is in low level API mode.

A message box pops up if automatic switching of low level to high level API occurs. Click "OK"

button to proceed if the message box pops up.

Always check the networking configuration and Ethernet cable when attempting to find the

UHF RFID Reader. If the tool cannot connect to the reader after a period of time, user could try

to switch API level manually by clicking on the "Set API" button on the search reader dialog.

The set API level can only be performed when a reader has been successfully searched. Select

"Set High Level API" button to switch the reader to high level API mode.

7. Appendix - Security Gate Mounting

In general, the security gate is best mounted to the floor for robustness and aesthetic. If

base plate or mounting plate approach is desired, installers are responsible for designing the

base plate or mounting plate according to the site survey. Consult Claridy technical personnel

for customizing the base plate or mounting plate. The following picture illustrates the mounting

point for the gate which ensure the panel of the security gate is correctly aligned. Wiring conduit

or duct is located underneath the floor surface.

The diagram below illustrates three panels of a double lane security gate mounted to the

floor.

Conduit or duct underneath

IDSmart UHF Security Gate User Manual

The following base plate or mounting plate is one of many types available for shipping.

There are 4 holes (3 visible and shown below) designed for mounting the security gate with the

base plate to the floor.

Rotary hammer/hammer drill with 12.7mm (0.5 inch) masonry/concrete drill bit is

recommended for drilling the floor.

Both mounting approaches need anchor bolt or expansion bolt to attach the security gate

structure to floor.
