R-IN1300 MID Manual – v. 1.2 – August ‘08 10 (29)
4 OPERATION WITH GRAPHICAL USER INTERFACE (GUI) The new R-IN1300 MID has 2 modes of operation: one RS-232 ASCII interface based on a terminal (i.e. MS HyperTerminal) and another with a graphical user interface. For more details on the ASCII RS-232 interface refer to the specific chapter 4.6. The R-IN1300 MID can connect to the Graphical User Interface (GUI) via 2 different interfaces: RS-232 or Ethernet TCP/IP: 4.1 CONNECTING WITH THE COM (RS-232) The reader “R-IN 1300 MID” can be connected to a PC with a serial connection. To use the RS-232 interface, a software installation is necessary. Insert the CD-ROM supplied with the reader, the installation will start automatically. Follow the instructions. In case the installation does not start, open the CD and double click on “install”. At the end of the installation procedure the necessary software will be found in the Start menu. 4.2 CONNECTING WITH ETHERNET (RECOMMENDED) The reader “R-IN 1300 MID” can be connected to the LAN just like a PC (Ethernet cable & RJ-45 connectors). No software installation required. A direct Ethernet connection between a PC and “R-IN 1300 MID” reader is also possible, with an Ethernet Cross Cable (supplied together with the reader). Refer to Appendix A for more details on how to do this. In both cases the reader “R-IN 1300 MID” must be provided with a correct IP-Address (DHCP is not available. Thus the reader is not yet able to get its IP-address automatically). R-IN1300 MID Manual – v. 1.2 – August ‘08 11 (29)
To provide the “R-IN 1300 MID” reader with an IP-address, it is recommended to configure it with the supplied cross cable (or RS-232 interface), at least for the first time, in order to avoid IP conflicts in your network. See appendix A for more details on how to connect your reader with a cross cable. When the reader has its own IP-Address on the LAN (or with cross cable), you can go to login-page of the reader and have access to the configuration-, monitoring- and administrator- tools. To do this, open a web browser (Internet Explorer, Firefox, etc.) and type http://192.168.0.85 (or the IP that you have configured) in the address bar. 4.3 GENERAL CONSIDERATIONS 4.3.1 THIRD PARTY INTERFACE The “R-IN 1300 MID Reader” always listens to incoming TCP/IP connections on port 1026 (TCP/IP socket). Using this dedicated TCP/IP socket, third party applications can connect to, exchange data with, configure and monitor the “R-IN 1300 MID Reader”. Refer to the “R-IN 1300 TCP/IP Dedicated Protocol” (UM001030) for a detailed description of the whole communication protocol and syntax. 4.3.2 HUMAN INTERFACE (Valid both for RS-232 interface and Ethernet interface) The interface (graphical program running on PC or on the browser) shows the configuration of the reader “R-IN 1300 MID” as a tabbed panel. Each panel groups logically tied parameters. The SAVE, DEFAULT and CANCEL buttons act locally on the parameters of the current active tab. The REFRESH button acts on the whole configuration (on all tabs). To save the configured settings shown in the tab, press the SAVE button. To restore the factory default settings of the current tab, press the DEFAULT button. To undo changes done on the current tab, press the CANCEL button. To view the actual parameters of the reader on all tabs, press the REFRESH button. The parameters shown in the tabs may depend on each other. The selection of some options could make some parameters “meaningless” in this context. In such cases relevant parameters are shown normally while “meaningless” parameters are masked/disabled. All parameters described in this manual refer to the “High Frequency Reader R-IN 1300 MID” with exception of the parameters contained in the “Combo Setup Panel” and “Advanced Setup Panel” which refer to the “Low Frequency Reader R-IN 7500”. The graphical application requires a Java2 or Java5 plug-in. If the requested plug-in is already installed on your PC, you are immediately able to run the application. Otherwise the system will try to connect to the WWW to download the plug-in. In this case, follow every installation step always accepting the defaults suggested by the system. R-IN1300 MID Manual – v. 1.2 – August ‘08 12 (29)
4.4 CONNECT (SERIAL VERSION ONLY) Start the RS-232 interface selecting the entry “R-IN 1300” as shown in the picture. Before starting the RS-232 interface the very first time, you have to run the corresponding installer (see paragraph 4.17) Then select the COM-Port and Baud-Rate of your terminal which must correspond to the Baud-Rate of the reader. In case of malfunction of the serial communication, try reducing the Baud-Rate of the reader and then reconnect. R-IN1300 MID Manual – v. 1.2 – August ‘08 13 (29)
4.5 LOGIN (WEB SERVER VERSION ONLY) The interface running on the browser permits access to users only via login (user name & password): attempts to join the configuration- and monitoring tools directly via bookmarks are prevented from the system. A user trying to connect while the system is already occupied (i.e. by another user having logged in before) gets access in read-only mode thus preventing the configuration from being modified at the same time by more users. When the user closes the browser, the system becomes free, allowing other users to login and get read-write mode. If the currently logged in user forgets to close the browser, she/he is automatically disconnected from the system. This is done on timeout-basis: if nobody presses any button for a time period longer than 10 minutes, the system makes the session available for other users. The administrator (only she/he) can force the system to disconnect users when the system is kept busy too long. The default accounts are defined as follows, passwords can be changed. User Names Default Passwords admin Admin (read, modify and administrative rights ) user1 1234 (read and modify rights) user2 1234 (read-only rights) R-IN1300 MID Manual – v. 1.2 – August ‘08 14 (29)
4.6 LOGOUT (WEB SERVER VERSION ONLY) The “administrator” can disconnect every session to the reader in case of suspect use of the GUI (i.e. a user is logged in for too much time monopolizing the system). The “administrator” must go to the URL: http://ip-address-of-the-reader/forceLogout.html and give her/his user password. 4.7 NETWORK SETUP The “Network Setup” tab allows users to specify whether the reader has a fixed IP-Address (in this case the ip-address and port must be specified) or a dynamic one (DHCP) not available yet. After having changed the IP-Address, the browser must be closed and a new login must be done using the new IP-Address of the reader. R-IN1300 MID Manual – v. 1.2 – August ‘08 15 (29)
From this tab it is also possible to change the password of the current user. The current password must be specified, the new password must be confirmed (specified twice). Pressing the CHANGE PASSWORD button, the request is submitted to the reader and the user is told about the success/ failure of the sent command. 4.8 RS 232 SETUP The “RS-232 Setup” allows users to specify the properties of the serial connection. The “Baud Rate” and “New Line” fields are implemented on the interface (PC or browser) as well as on the reader. The fields “Number of bits”, “Stop bits”, “Parity”, “Handshake” are implemented on the interface but not yet on the reader. Changes done on these fields do not yet affect the system behaviour. The “Remove Header” field informs the reader that expected responses must contain only essential information (explanations, warnings and miscellaneous information must be cut off). The “Continuous” field enables/disables the continuous-reading mode. If this property is enabled, inventory-cycles are automatically repeated otherwise only one cycle is done. The “Stand Alone” field has following meanings: Stand Alone Mode Disabled: after the reader has been turned on, it waits for the start-reading command to come. Until this moment, it remains in a not-reading state. Stand Alone Mode Enabled Detect: at power on the reader starts reading automatically and sends the found UIDs after each inventory cycle. The “Inter Code Delay” field specifies how much time (in sec/100) must be awaited between the sending of two subsequent UIDs. The “Code Length” field specifies the length and format of the sent UIDs. R-IN1300 MID Manual – v. 1.2 – August ‘08 16 (29)
4.9 READER SETUP The “ReaderSetup” tab allows users to specify overall properties of the reader. It is possible to specify: the antenna power: 0 mW – 4 000 mW (1000 mW = 1 W; 2000 mW = 2 W; etc. ) the technologies of the transponders being used: ISO-15693 I-Code I the ISO-15693 properties (see corresponding ISO-specification) Request/Response Data Rate Modulation Type/ Modulation Index Quiet Mode /Quiet Storage Time Slots The “Lock Code” field specifies a particular behaviour of the reader: Details for LockCode 0: Disabled. Details for LockCode 1: Any transponder is read just once. To read a transponder again, another one must be read first. Details for LockCode 2: The transponder is first visible when entering the magnetic field the first time and it is detected only once without regard to the time spent in the field. A chip having left the magnetic field can be read again only having spent an amount of time T outside of it. If the time spent outside the magnetic field is less than T, the chip cannot be detected. The “Communication” field specifies on which output channels the reader must write the found UIDs. The “Echo” field specifies whether the user-input written onto the terminal (RS-232) must be shown on the screen or not. The “Reverse Order” field specifies the representation of the UIDs: Reverse Order Off : Uids are not reversed Reverse Order On : Uids are reversed R-IN1300 MID Manual – v. 1.2 – August ‘08 17 (29)
4.10 ADVANCED READER SETUP The “Advanced Reader Setup” tab allows users to specify advanced properties of the reader. The “Skip Timeslot On No Response” field specifies whether or not empty timeslots must be skipped (that’s to say “wait no longer if it seems that no tag is here”). It is recommended to enable this feature. The “Collision Threshold” field is a highly complex parameter. It is recommended to set it to 33. The “Receiver Gain” field specifies the sensitivity of the reader’s input ( 0: less sensitive 3: most sensitive). 4.11 CONFIGURATIONS R-IN1300 MID Manual – v. 1.2 – August ‘08 18 (29)
The "R-IN 1300 Reader" offers a tool giving the user the possibility to save and/or reload configuration files. First of all select the tab named "Configurations". To save the currently active configuration, select the destination folder using the navigator, write the destination file name in the related input field and then press the button "Save Configuration". To load a previously saved configuration, select the folder and file using the navigator and then press the button "Load Configuration". 4.12 MONITOR The monitor tab is used for verifying whether the reader is active or not. The “Start Reader” button makes the reader start its inventory cycles. The “Stop Reader” button makes the reader suspend its reading process. The “Start Monitoring” button permits to display the UIDs of the chips found by the reader. The “Clear Result” button clears the UIDs display. The “Stop Monitoring” button stops the display. The led “D” (detection) is green if the reader sends UIDs, red otherwise PLEASE NOTE: UIDs are displayed only once: duplicated UIDs are not diplayed again! This could give the impression that the reader does not work correctly but this is NOT true. Please, in this case press the “Clear Result” button. If you press the “Stop Reader” button, the reader stops its reading process. Please click this button only if you are sure that the suspension of the reader activities does not cause the loss of important data. TAG READ/WRITE OPERATIONS If Tag-Read/Write operations must be performed, the monitoring-process must be started (press the “Start Reader”- and the “Start Monitoring”- buttons). The desired tag (only one) must now be selected from the list of the found chips just by clicking on its corresponding UID with the left button of the mouse. Once the UID has been selected, the user starts the Tag-Read/Write operations by clicking the right button of the mouse. At this point a small pop-up window opens automatically. It shows the UID of the selected chip, its related current text and an input field where a new text can be defined (see picture below). R-IN1300 MID Manual – v. 1.2 – August ‘08 19 (29)
The user can now specify the new text using the input field and then confirm with the OK-button in order write the new text into the tag-memory. Of course Tag-Read/Write operations can be cancelled with the “cancel-button” or by closing the “Tag Read/Write” pop-up window. The user is told about the result of the Chip-Read/Write operation by another pop-up window. Please note that these reading/writing operations are only possible if the chip remains within the magnetic field. These reading/writing operations are allowed with both the RS232 and Ethernet GUIs. Because of technical reasons when using the RS232 GUI, it is first necessary to stop the reading process by clicking the stop-monitoring button. Afterwards proceed according to the description above. R-IN1300 MID Manual – v. 1.2 – August ‘08 20 (29)
4.13 FIRMWARE UPDATE The GUI-version running on the browser offers the user a tool to update the software of the “R-IN 1300 Reader”. First of all select the tab named "Firmware Update" and select the file containing the new software (delivered by Datamars SA) using the navigator and then press the “Install File”-button. The new software is now transferred (copied) from the PC to the reader. A slider tells about the transferring-process status. If the transferring-process hangs or if the user notices that a wrong file has been transferred, the user can cancel the operation and remove the transferred file clicking the “Cancel”-button. When the whole file has been completely transferred onto the reader, the user is prompted by a pop-up window if she/he really wants to install and activate it. The user can confirm or cancel the operation. If the user decides to continue and to activate the new software, she/he MUST wait until the whole installation-process is terminated. At the end of the installation, the reader performs a reboot and the browser connection of the user is consequently closed (the warning “Connection closed” appears on the browser). Now the user can perform login again and verify the correct working of the new software. NB: The installation of the new software can require a couple of minutes: during this period it is ABSOLUTELY FORBIDDEN to turn off the reader. 4.14 HOW TO INSTALL THE RS-232 INTERFACE Insert the “Product CD R-IN 1300 MID” into the CD-Drive of the host-PC and double click the icon representing the program “R-IN1300-MID_windows_3_0.exe” and follow every installation step. Always accept the default options will install every component correctly. You can even customize your installation specifying other options than the default ones.

5 TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS FOR R-IN1300 MID 5.1 OPERATIONAL CHARACTERISTICS The DATAMARS SA RFID reader R-IN1300 MID is an integrated analog system for RFID- Applications (RFID=radio frequency identification) which works at 13.56MHz. It allows reading data stored into ISO-RFID transponders or ISO-Labels at 13.56 MHz. Single and Multiread operation are supported. The communication between the reader and the transponder is based on the ISO 15693 (Part 1-3) protocol. All transponders (contact less memories) are powered by a transmitted carrier radio wave at 13.56MHz and are compliant with the ISO 14443-B recommendation for the transfer of power and signals via radio transmission. For this purpose the reader R-IN1300 MID amplitude, modulates the data on the carrier using amplitude shift keying (ASK) and the tag replies by load modulating the data on the carrier. Once the reader is connected to an appropriate client-network (via dedicated computer) it works based on the installed software like a server providing the received data from the transponders to the final client-application. The service software helps to control and update the reader in user-friendly way. R-IN1300 MID supports different antennae as well as multiple configurations. 5.2 ELECTRICAL CHARACTERISTICS Electrical characteristics (without antenna) POWER SUPPLY AC 100-240V 1A 50-60 Hz POWER CONSUMPTION 35 W ANTENNA OUTPUT POWER 4 W Technical characteristics OPERATING FREQUENCY 13.56 MHz OPERATING TEMPERATURE 0°C - 40°C / 32°F - 104°F DIMENSIONS 222 x 152 x 59 (mm) / 8.7 x 6.0 x 2.3 (inches) WEIGHT 1.5 kg TRANSPONDER TYPE ISO15693 (T-BT 1320 or T-BT1315) ANTI COLLISION Yes COMMUNICATION PROTOCOL RS-232, USB (upon request), TCP/IP (Ethernet) AUTO TUNING No READING SPEED Depend on number of transponder and technology (up to 40/s) R-IN1300 MID Manual – v. 1.2 – August ‘08 24 (29)
