AMP100 ProxTrakTM Portal Reader Installation Manual1.1 ScopeThis document describes the information necessary for physical installation, setup and programming for anHID Portal Reader. The dimensional, cabling, configuration and programming requirements are describedin detail to provide assistance for the installation process.1.2 Functional SummaryThe AMP100 ProxTrak Portal Reader will perform all applicable RF operations (transactions) on any HIDAMT100 Asset tags and HID Prox family Access cards. In addition, the Portal can detect individualspassing through the Portal. This gives the integrator the ability to control the actions around a doorway thatis monitored by a Portal Reader. Also included are indicators in the form of a Beeper, LED’s and an LCDDisplay module. Contact closures from 2 low voltage relays are available, if required by the application, forCCTV, door strikes or other functions.The exciter circuit in the Reader produces a nominal 125KHz current in the exciter coil resulting in a125KHz electromagnetic field which provides power and a fundamental clock to a tag. Commands are sentto the tag by an amplitude modulation sequence of this current resulting in modulation of the field. TheProxTrakTM Portal Reader is designed for approval under all applicable emissions regulations.1.3 FCC NoticesThe FCC approval requires that this device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules; Operation issubject to the following two conditions: 1) This device may not cause harmful interference, 2) Thisdevice must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesiredoperation.Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance couldvoid the user’s authority to operate the equipment.1.4 Reference DocumentsProxTrakTM Multi-drop Protocol Specification HID P/N 0200-636ProxTrakTM Utilities Software Manual HID P/N xxxx-xxxWiegand Specification for ProxTrakTM Portal HID P/N 0200-635Atmel Corporation specification for AT24RF08 Asset Identification EEPROMAsset IDTM Programming Specification, IBM PC Company2. Site RequirementsBecause of the high sensitivity required to acquire asset and access tags in a volume the size of a Portal,some preliminary inspection of the property is required to determine if the site is suitable to install theProxTrak Portal Reader. There may be electrical noise generators in the area of the installation that couldprohibit the use of a Portal unless the noise generator can be moved, shielded or replaced. Refer to theGeneral Interference Guidelines and “Location of other Proximity Readers” sections at the end of thismanual. In addition there is a detailed “Environmental Radio Frequency Noise Test” that can be performedto verify the site complies with Portal requirements.2.1 Physical Requirements2.1.1 FloorFloor must be level to within .1” over the footprint of the unit (approx. 42” X 42”) also the floor must besolid and not have any give. The ceiling must be 92” high at the location of the portal.

The portal will beassembled on one side and then tipped upright. It may then be moved into place.On each major component there will be a red dot indicating the doorway side or edge.Support the base perpendicular to the floor with the doorway edge up (the doorway edge is the edgenearest from the crossover wires embedded in the bottom). Stand the Primary Panel assembly on itsentrance edge (the primary panel assembly is the one with the LCD module), red dot up, and fasten it tothe Threshold assembly with the LCD facing towards the inside of the portal. Use 8 of the tapered machinescrews, four in each of the corner supports in the uprights. Repeat for the secondary panel assembly.Install cross over tubes and route cables as shown in Figure 1Note - Use precautions to guard against static discharges to any exposed electronics whenhandling the Controller assembly.Place the Controller assembly on its entrance edge and slide the left and right edges onto the Panelassemblies gray mounting blocks. Note that the fans are located closest to the Primary side. Use the hexkey head 10-20’s (4 each with washers), screwed into the threaded insert in the controller assembly. Addthe 4 1”, 6-32 pan-heads in the through-holes, with the washer and nut on the top, to each gray bracket.The Portal can now be stood upright. Be sure to lift the top end straight up, without stressing the Portal bytilting it to the right or left; lift using the lower gray structural pieces. Do not lift the white antennaassemblies or the upper gray members. The Portal is not designed to be put into use without structuralsupport provided at the doorway. (See “Door frame mounting”), below.

Themost common method of mounting is attaching the Portal to the doorframe. This method includespositioning the Portal Reader close to the doorframe, allowing for a direct mount to the framework via theappropriate fasteners for wood, steel or aluminum.With this mounting method, the doorframe must be 35 to 41 inches inside width for an effective mountingstructure. The AC line cord must not exit on the face of the Portal frame that will be used for mounting. Theposition of the AC cord can be specified at the time of ordering. An example of a doorframe mount isshown below.Portal ThresholdPortalUprights1/2" SpacersDoor FrameDoorWasherUprightLag boltSpacerWallDoor frame mount - viewed from the topUpright/doorframe detailDefinition of “exit” and “entrance” - Since the Portal is mostly used as an exit reader, you enter the Portalon the end away from the door, and you exit the Portal at the doorway end. The two uprights that are onthe exit end of the Reader are devoid of cables between in a certain span of 51 inches in the center of thevertical dimensions of the Portal. This is the space available for mounting the Portal to the doorframe. Lagbolts, washers and the spacers (See insert) are included with the Accessory kits. The Lag bolts, washer,

In these cases, the installationsmay require adapter brackets mounted to the Portal at the 4 locations. These brackets could then be usedfor doing an inside mount on the doorway, or outside mounts on the wall.4.

Move to connect 3 and 4 todisable Flash programming. Default – 3 to 46.2 Serial CommunicationThe communication channel to the Host is provided via RS485 or RS232, selectable by jumpers on theDSP Control Board.6.2.1 RS485The RS485 option is the default setting, since it is capable of multi-drop points and can be connected atlong cable distances. The interface defaults to 19,200 baud, 1 stop, 8 data bits and no parity. Otherselections are 4800, 9600 and 38,400 baud.The RS485 configuration is selected by placing 2 jumpers on the DSP Control Board. See the“Configuration Jumpers” section for details. For RS485, a 2 wire interface is supported - use 485+ and 485- . Shield should be connected to only oneend (master end – Host or panel). For 2 wire 485, each device must have a proper earth ground forproper communications operation.For 3 wire 485 - If a third wire is used for a Signal return, use a 100 ohm, ¼ Watt resistor to Pin 6 of theabove table, to limit ground fault currents.6.2.2 RS232The RS232 option works identically to the RS485, with the exception of the hardware limits; no multi-dropand the cable distance is limited. There are no differences in the firmware or software requirements of theprotocol. The RS232 configuration is selected by placing 2 jumpers on the DSP Control Board. See the“Configuration Jumpers section”.A 3 wire RS232 interface is supported – Use TD, RD and Signal ground.6.2.3 RS485 and RS232 Connector Terminal AssignmentsP10 Signal Name1 RS232 TD (Xmit Data)2 RS 232 RD (Rcv Data)3 RS232 Signal Ground4 RS485+5 RS485-6 RS485 Signal Ground

See theSwitch settings section for details.6.3 Polled modeSee the ProxTrak Multi-Drop Serial Protocol (Document number 0200-636) for a complete description ofthe Commands from the Host, Messages from the Reader, packet formats, and suggested Polledoperation. This Protocol uses a binary formatted packet that minimizes transaction overhead andmaximizes speed while providing a multi-point communication pathway.6.4 Simplex modeThere is a Simplex mode, which allows the use of a general purpose Serial communication utility forconnecting to the Reader. This is a simple way to get Reader data that only requires a one way interface.There is an initial start-up message that puts out status information, and then ID information is sent outwhen Access cards and or Asset tags have been acquired. This is an ASCII interface and it will work witheither RS232 or RS485 for testing with one Host and one Reader. To turn on the Simplex mode, Turn onSwitch 7, position 1. Also, since polling from the Host is not recommended in Simplex mode, use the free-running mode setting of the switches, Switch 8, position 3, On.6.5 LCD interfaceThe LCD interface is used for sending messages to the user of the Portal. If the Reader is in the defaultmode, the messages will need to be sent from the host to the Reader using the Send Message to Displaycommand. In the LCD Test mode, Access cards ID's and the Asset tag Count will be displayed. The Tagcount is a number that is incremented from 1 to 5 when additional Asset ID's are acquired. The count isreset when an Access card is read. Turn Switch 6, Position 7 - ON to turn on the test mode.6.6 Tag Command optionsThe communication protocol required is the HID “ProxTrak Multi-Drop Serial Protocol” and should bereferenced when developing applications with the Portal Reader.The Asset tags require communication from the Reader to facilitate selecting the tag, acquiring tag ID dataand setting the Tamper bit and subsequently shutting down the tag to allow other tags to be available foracquisition. There are several options available to the user that can be used to facilitate getting thesecommands to the tag quickly and with flexibility. There are Automatic Tag commands and Host controlledTag commands. There is also a version of the Automatic Tag command function called the Failsafe modethat is activated automatically if the communication to the Reader from the Host is interrupted.6.6.1 Default Tag commandsDefault Tag commands are programmable in EEPROM. When the Reader resets or after power-up, itreads the EEPROM to find out which command or sequence of commands it should send to the Tag everytime it acquires a new Tag ID. The normal default tag command is a Set Quiet command. This can bechanged to include the Set Tamper command. See the AT24RF08 command descriptions in the Atmelspecification.6.6.2 Failsafe Tag commandsThe Failsafe feature allows the user to change the Default Tag Command setting to be a new Tagcommand in the event that the communication fails between the Reader and the Host. After a fixed delay(default is 30 seconds, programmable) from the last host command, the Failsafe Tag Command goes intoeffect. If the Reader has switched to the failsafe mode due to communication problems, the first successfulpoll will have a bit set in the Tag ID message, alerting the Host that the failure has occurred since the lastsuccessful poll.6.6.3 Host controlled Tag commandsThe Set Tag Command can be sent from the Host to override the current Default Tag command. TheReader accepts the Set Tag Command from the Host and replaces the current default Tag command. Itwill perform the new tag command on every newly acquired tag indefinitely until a new Set Tag Command,reset or power cycle.

When the ID has been acquired and transferred tothe Host during the normal polling process, the Host can then send an Individual Tag command to ProxTrakTag, based on the ID. The Reader accepts the Individual Tag command(s) from the Host and sends it tothe tag if currently available in the field. If the tag is not currently in the field, the Reader sends a failureresponse to the Host after a 1-second timeout.6.6.3.2 Global ProxTrakTM CommandsHost commands can be sent globally to Asset ID tags by sending Global Tag Command, which containsthe specific tag command. The Reader accepts the Global Tag command from the Host and sends it to alltags that are currently available in the field.Refer to the ProxTrak Multi-Drop Serial protocol specification for a complete description of the Set Tagcommand, Individual Tag command, Global Tag command and EEPROM locations for setting the DefaultTag command and the Failsafe tag command.6.7 IndicatorsIndicators include the Red/Green LED, Beeper, Relay 1 and Relay 2. Each indicator also has its ownprogrammable duration setting. Some default indicator actions are pre-programmed for Power up, Accesscard read, Asset card read and when a Tag Command has been sent to ProxTrak tags. These defaultactions can be changed during the Portal set-up. If these default actions are not sufficient, the Indicatorcommand can be used. This command can be sent at any time from the Host, over-riding any currentactions. Refer to the ProxTrakTM Serial Protocol. Each Indicator has a list of up to 32 specific sequences,including individual flash, flash twice, flash three times, cycle on/off, etc.6.7.1 Red/Green LED and Beeper in the Access control ReaderThe Red/Green LED and beeper is located on the face of the ThinLineTM reader, and will activate usingthe default actions listed in the indicator actions and respond to the Indicator command.6.7.2 Red/Green LED and Beeper located on the DSP controller electronics.There is Red/Green LED and beeper located on the Controller electronics of the Portal reader, and willactivate using the default actions listed in the indicator actions and respond to the Indicator command. Thisinternal Beeper has a jumper for disabling/enabling the feature. Refer to the Jumper settings. The beepercan be disabled by moving jumper P23 to connect pins 1 and 2.6.7.3 Relay 1 and Relay 2The Relays are located on the PCB and have connections available to select the normally open or normallyclosed terminals. They can be included in the default indicator actions and can be activated with theIndicator command. See the terminal strip connections available in the cabling requirements section.6.8 EEPROM Configuration informationRefer to the EEPROM configuration table, below and in the in the ProxTrakTM Serial Protocol for thememory locations that set the following configurable features of the Reader. The EEPROM can bechanged and tested by using the Write EEPROM and Read EEPROM commands – also described in theProtocol specification. Test software that provides an easy user interface is provided with each PortalReader. Refer to the ProxTrak Utilities Users Manual for more information.6.8.1 Indicators (LED's, Beeper, Relays) duration'sAll five indicators have a 1 byte value. The byte specifies the basic duration used by the Reader to activatethe indicators. Refer to the table of Indicator actions, below. The references to long, medium and shortflashes (beeps, clicks) are based on this duration.The default indicator duration bytes factory defaults are programmed as follows (100mSec/count):Indicator Byte Value (HEX) DurationRed LED 10 1.6 SecGreen LED 10 1.6 SecBeeper 10 1.6 SecRelay 1 10 1.6 SecRelay 2 10 1.6 Sec

The factory default is a Set Quietcommand.6.8.6 Multiple Adjacent Unit Interface (Maui)Maui is a scheme for 125kHz detection and anti-collision used in the ProxTrak Portal Reader. It is amethod of handling 125KHz interference for multiple readers by waiting for the interference to go away andresuming with normal operation, interspersing their on times in an orderly fashion; if 2 Readers are closeenough to detect each other, they will synchronize by alternating their exciter cycles to avoid interference.6.9 Wiegand OutputRefer to the Wiegand specification for the complete description of the Wiegand output formats.A 26 bit format is generated for Asset ID’s acquired by the Portal Reader. The 26 bit format sends an 8 bitFacility code and 16 bit “card data” enclosed in parity bits for error detection. 2 formats are supported. AnIBM tag type is supported by parsing part of the Manufacturing code, and including it in the “card data”. ALegacy tag type is supported that sends the least significant 16 bits of the legacy data as the “card data”.For Access cards (and fobs) the data is passed from the card to the output directly, making the systemcompatible for 26, 35, 37bit etc. bit formats.6.10 Download new Acquisition Processor (AP) codeRefer to the Download instructions found with the ProxTrakTM Utilities software, included with each PortalReader.

Portal Functional DescriptionThe ProxTrak Portal Reader integrates the Access control and Asset control functions in the same Reader,styled in a fashion resembling a styled metal detector at the airport. The combination of Access and Assetcontrols, with the ability to track presence of individuals, creates a powerful Reader that can be used toexpand the capability of the traditional Access control system to include Asset tracking and management.The doorway sized unit enables the integrator to pursue hands-free Asset control, increasing throughput,reducing paperwork, and bring asset management to a new level of traceability and ease of use.The Access control feature is a reader similar to our popular ThinLineTM Product, integrated as apresentation style reader so that tailgating and other activity around the Portal can be closely monitored.8.1 Operating CycleUpon power up and during operation, the Reader performs various self-diagnostic and optimizationoperations. Messages from this process are sent to the host (if requested). See the Protocol Spec formore information.After initialization, the Reader responds to polls from the host by starting a scanning cycle, or in free-running mode, periodically steps through the scanning sequence by searching for Access or Asset tagdata. Before starting the scanning sequence the Reader detects interfering 125kHz equipment. In a modecalled Maui (Multiple Adjacent Unit Interface), if a 125KHz source above a threshold power is detected, theReader waits for a quasi-random interval before another attempt. This process allows the Reader to get insync with another Reader that is close enough to be detected, and get successful acquisitions whentraditional Reader technologies would not.If an Asset or Access tag is detected, its identification is transmitted to the host as described in theProtocol Specification. The Reader acquires the information regarding Asset and Access tags and theentrance and exit sensors, and passes them along to the host.The decisions regarding interpretation of the data and the resulting actions, are implemented by the systemintegrator.8.2 RFID Tag and card types8.2.1 Asset tagsThe ProxTrak Portal Reader will perform transactions with any Asset ID compatible Asset tag includingthe HID AMT100 Asset Management Tag and Asset ID source tags in IBM computers. Read area iswithin the full volume of the Portal. The Reader outputs a 12 byte ID string imbedded in the "TAG IDmessage". Asset ID is a registered trademark of IBM PC Company.8.2.1.1 Asset tag typesThe system is designed to read up to 5 Asset tags within its range. The Multi-Tag technology has beendeveloped by Atmel Corp and as a result, there are 8 tag types available. Any tag that is programmed willbe one of the eight tag types. If up to 5 different tag types are in the range of the reader, they will be readsuccessfully. If tags that are the same tag type are present in the field, the Atmel design results in timingcollisions, and the read performance is reduced.8.2.2 Access cardsThe ProxTrak Portal Reader will read HID ProxCard Access cards, ProxKey FOBs and IsoProx cardse.The Reader outputs a 6 byte ID string imbedded in the "Tag ID message"..

See SwitchSettings.8.3.1 Asset tag ReceptionMulti-tag algorithm - Up to five Asset tags can be acquired at a given moment. The acquisition of Assettags requires that the receiver and exciter work in conjunction to receive the Asset tag header, send theacknowledge modulation, receive the data from a selected tag, and send the appropriate commandmodulation back to the tag. Refer to the Atmel AT24RF08 description for a complete specification, statediagram and Asset tag features.8.3.2 Access Card OptionsThe portal will operate in one of two modes to read access cards, “Presentation Mode” or “Hands FreeMode”. The modes are selected with switches, see the Switch Settings section for details.8.3.2.1 Presentation Access Control ReaderThe Access control function is similar to a traditional HID family of proximity Readers, such as theThinLineTM Reader. Access data is collected by time division multiplexing the Access function with theAsset tag reading function. The data from the Access cards is put into a 6 byte field in the Tag IDMessage to be communicated to the Host via the serial port. Note the LED and beeper in the ThinLineTMreader are used as programmable indicators.8.3.2.2 Hands Free Access Card ReaderIn this mode the portal will read a HID ProxCard when a person enters the portal. The card does not haveto be presented to a reader or specific location within or near the portal. This allows a user to passthrough the portal without having to pause or present his access card.8.3.3 Exciter8.3.3.1 125kHz exciter descriptionThe excitation for Asset tags is generated by developing a 125kHz current in a coil, creating a magneticfield, which energizes the Tags and cards, allowing them to return their respective ID and other storedinformation to the ProxTrak Portal Reader. The ThinLineTM Reader installed in the Portal is controlled by thePortal hardware to energize and read Access control cards.

General Interference GuidelinesThe portal is susceptible to outside RF noise sources (radiators) that generate frequencies from 50KHz upto 140KHz. The effect on the Portal performance is dependent on the received signal strength at the portalreceiver antennas. The received signal strength is dependent on the angle between the radiator and thePortal receive antennas, the strength of the radiated signal and the distance between the two devices.Some types of offending devices are computer monitors (CRT type), Laptop computers, Access ControlDevices etc.If a Portal performance is being effected by some external RF noise source the following steps should betried to isolate the source of the interfering signal and to minimize the interference.Isolate the device that is producing the noise by turning electronic devices OFF one at a time until theportal performance returnsTry turning the offending device and check for a return of performance.If a computer monitor is the offending device, change the screen resolution settings.Move the device farther from the portal.10. Location of other HID Proximity ReadersFigure 4-1 shows the relative positioning of a portal and other proximity readers for testing that ispresented in this section. Figure 4-2 contains a chart gives the distance (in inches) between another HIDproximity reader and a portal at the point at which the performance of the portal is reduced to zero (firstnumber) and where the performance is just being effected (second number in the column). Theorientations presented are representative and selected to determine the interaction between portal andother readers. The field generated out the back of a reader is as strong as the field out the front, thus thetest configurations shown are adequate. The type of reader used to take the measurements is also notedin the spread sheet.The recommended measurements are to determine the signal interaction between the portal and anynearby HID proximity reader.
