The objective is wireless and automated data collection over large distances. HOW RFID WORKS Data is transmitted via high frequency radio waves between a tag and an interrogator. Information stored on the tag can be read and modified. Data can be exchanged over large distances, even in extreme environmental conditions such as dust, dirt, paint or oil. The core element of the system is the active ILR tag, which can communicate large amounts of data (up to 32 kBytes) at a rapid rate of transmission over very large distances (up to 100 meters). A sophisticated anti-collision handling algorithm enables the interrogator (i-PORT) to record data simultaneously from hundreds of tags within seconds. Connection of the interrogator to a host computer system enables global data accessibility via a variety of software platforms (Internet). CHARACTERISTICS OF ILR: • UHF Frequency (868 / 915 MHz) • Large read and write range of 30 meters (optional up to 100 meters) • Variable read range from just a few meters up to 100 meters • Large storage capacity (8 kB; up to 32 kB) • Temperature monitoring and recording (optional) • Highly visible LED “pick-by-light” (optional) • Long battery lifetime (up to 6 years) • Anti-collision process and multi-tag handling 1.2 System Overview IDENTEC SOLUTIONS’ ILR System consists of 4 main components: • Active tags (also called transponders) with internal power supply, which are used to identify goods or to store data and histories • Interrogator (also called readers — i-PORT; fixed-mounted) and handheld devices (mobile), which exchange information with the tags and host computer systems • Various antenna types/characteristics for different applications • A central computer system as basis for control and monitoring Document ID: UG-i-PORT III NAE -5- i-PORT III User’s Guide ILR System Components: • Tags from the i-Q and i-D2 series monitor, record and transmit stored data over large distances. The high data transmission rate ensures optimal communication. • Data can be written to or read from the tags by means of the fixed interrogator (i-PORT) and then transmitted via LAN (or WLAN, modem, etc.) to a host computer network. Application software as well as all IDENTEC SOLUTIONS products can be seamlessly integrated into existing software environments by means of standard interfaces (TCP/IP, FTP, HTTP, etc.) • Data can also be written to or read from tags at a distance of up to 10 meters by a mobile handheld interrogator. Thanks to the i-CARD, an RFID interrogator in a PC Card format (standard PCMCIA Type II card), a flexible and adaptable, practically hardware independent application is created. The i-CARD can be used in third-party handheld devices from a variety of manufacturers (Symbol, LXE, Latschbacher, Teklogix…) Document ID: UG-i-PORT III NAE -6- i-PORT III User’s Guide 2.0 2.1 i-PORT III Introduction The i-PORT III is the next generation of IDENTEC SOLUTIONS’ ILR interrogators. ILR technology allows automated, wireless data collection. Up to 4 antennas (plus one extra send antenna) can be connected to the i-PORT III. The i-PORT III is delivered complete with standard software, which offers the user a variety of options: • Communication with ILR tags (i-Q only) • Simultaneous operation with up to 4 antennas (send/receive), with the option of a fifth antenna (send) • Communication with host computer Ethernet or RS232 interfaces • Connection to external devices such as modem or GSM via serial interface (optional) • Data processing (event messages, in/out, etc.) • I/O control (4 relays, 4 digital inputs) • Configuration by means of web-interface (remote maintenance) systems via The i-PORT III has a Real-Time Operating System (RTOS: Thread X) and an internal Real-Time Clock (RTC), which permit an exact time allocation of the data. Up to 2048 data messages can be stored temporarily. Document ID: UG-i-PORT III NAE -7- i-PORT III User’s Guide 2.2 Physical Description 238,7 211 201 90 20,5 180 21,9 The amount of space required to mount the i-PORT is 200 x 250 x 60 mm (B x H x W). The i-PORT weighs approx. 2 kg. A socket wrench (size 3) is required to open the i-PORT. Use the rubber grommet with hole to feed cables through the housing to the outside (cable diameter 4.75 mm to 6 mm); seal the unused feed-through with the blind plugs. These feed-through are intended for RG58 (antenna), Ethernet or serial cables. For power supply, use the PG fitting [screw joint]. If plugs [jacks, connectors] do not fit through the grommet (i.e. Ethernet), you may cut through the grommet (Note: impermeability!). Enclosure rating IP64 (total protection from water sprayed from all directions) is thus achieved. If greater enclosure rating is required, the i-PORT must be placed in an additional housing.

Other contacts are optional in use for modems or GSM-device. GPS Device: A standard protocol (GPRMC) has been implemented. All devices (i.e. Garmin GPS 35) that work with this protocol are suitable for operation with the i-PORT. GSM Device: It is currently possible to use GSM-Modems from Siemens (TC 35 or MC 35). Full functionality of the i-PORT is available when using these modems because of the implementation of an RAS Server. This means that it is also possible to configure the i-PORT over a browser by dialed-up GSM. Some modems need a permanent connection between Pin 4 (DTR) and Pin 6 (DSR) to achieve full functionality.

Debug TagList The amount of time which a tag list is outputted on the Debug Port (“0” means no output) Debug NewTag Output of newly-recognized tags (Note: must be less than the Inhibit Time!) Debug ScanTag Output of tag list after sequence execution. Synchronization Note: Not implemented with i-LINKS Settings for when several i-PORTs are located in a small space, necessitating synchronization. After marking the check-box, the IPs of the other i-PORTs can be entered into the designated field. Master IP Enter IP addresses of the neighboring i-PORTs Comm Timeout Timeout for synchronization (when registering a slave at the master) Token Timeout Timeout for synchronization (Timeout for Token signal) Document ID: UG-i-PORT III NAE -22- i-PORT III User’s Guide Scan i-PORT settings for the scan process. Mode 3 possibilities: “Host Only”, “Continuous” and “Input 1” “Host Only” means that the i-PORT waits for commands, processes them, and is otherwise inactive. “Continuous” means that the i-PORT performs continuous scans. “Input 1” means that scans are triggered by “Triggerinput 1” Slot Select Number of slots in which tags can answer; this is part of the anti-collision process. Set at least double the amount of slots as the maximum number of tags that can be located in the zone at one time. The elapsed time per slot in which tags can answer is 1.2 ms. Num of Scans “Input1” Mode: Number of sequences executed by the i-PORT after Input1 again becomes inactive. In “Test Mode”, this is also the number of scans. Scan Pause Pause inserted by i-PORT after each sequence. Data communication i-PORT settings for tag communications (also dependent on the Inhibit Time!) Data communication – Blink: Setting to cause tags entering the zone to blink (dependent on Inhibit Time!) Blink If this check box is marked off, each newly-recognized tag will blink.

For this duration, the tags can no longer be communicated with (also from other i-PORTs). After this time span has expired, the tags become available again. Otherwise, the tag returns to normal mode, as it likewise does if it receives a signal from a different i-PORT. Mute (i-D2): Tags receive a signal, but give no answer for the duration of the “mute”. If the tag receives a renewed signal from the same i-PORT, the time will be re-triggered. Both (i-D2): Combination of Sleep and Mute! Document ID: UG-i-PORT III NAE -23- i-PORT III User’s Guide Duration The amount of time to put a tag into Sleep/Mute mode. The maximum sleep time for i-D2 is 6 seconds and 256 seconds for i-Q. Detection i-PORT settings which determine which tag types to interrogate and how. Tag Type 3 Options: “i-Q8/32”, “i-D2” and “Both” Depends on which tags need to be interrogated. Note: “i-D2” and “Both” are not working in this version operating under FCC 15.231! Mode 3 Options: “Normal”, “Max. Level” and “In/Out” Normal: Tag is reported when it enters the read zone. Max. Level: Report the tag with it’s largest recorded field strength during the detection time interval. In/Out: Report the direction tag Orientation recognition activated (Antenna 1…In, Antenna 2…Out, Antenna 3…In, Antenna 4…Out) Detection Time Max. Level Mode: The window size used to determine the largest recorded field strength. (Note: must be less than the Inhibit Time) In/Out Mode: The window size used to determine the tag direction. (Note: must be less than the Inhibit Time) Inhibit Time If a previously interrogated tag leaves the zone for longer than the Inhibit Time, it will be recognized as a new tag when it reenters the zone. If the tag reenters the zone before expiration of the Inhibit Time, this time is reset as if the tag had never left the zone Event message i-PORT settings to determine when an event message is to be sent and how it should look. Event message - Event reason: A tag or an input can serve as a trigger for an event Tag 3 Options: “Enter”, “Leave” or “Enter and Leave” A message is generated when the tag enters the zone, when it leaves the zone, or both when it enters AND when it leaves the zone. Input 4 Options: “None”, “Rising Edge”, “Falling Edge” or “Changing” A message is sent when the Input detects either a rising edge, a falling edge, or when any change at the Input is detected. Use None if nothing is attached to the Inputs. Message content Each message can contain up to 4 additional pieces of information. By marking the check box, the corresponding information is added to the message (in addition to the Tag ID): i-PORT ID, Time/Date, Tag Status and Field Strength. Antenna settings: i-PORT settings for the antennas, power outputs, etc. Enable By marking the check box, the corresponding antenna is activated Scan Enable By marking the check box, the corresponding antenna is also able to send Document ID: UG-i-PORT III NAE -24- i-PORT III User’s Guide i-Q TxPower Power setting for i-Q tags at time of scan (send) i-D TxPower Power setting for i-D2 tags at time of scan (send) Note: This settings have no function in this version operating under FCC 15.231! Rx Threshold Threshold (field strength of tag signal) required for tag recognition Sensitivity i-PORT receiver mode; this means that the Rx Threshold reaches –60dBm in low sensitivity mode and –90dBm in high sensitivity mode Cable Loss Differences in the various antenna types and cable lengths can be adjusted here (A calculation example is shown below.) Synch Group Antennas can be separated in different groups for synchronizing different iPORTs Calculation examples for “Cable Loss” field: Coaxial cable RG58 has a loss of approximately 0.6dB/m (at 900 MHz). LMR-400 has a loss of approximately 0.06dB/m. Loss across an SMA connector is approximately 0.2dB. Loss across an N-to-SMA adapter (required to connect LMR-400 to the I-PORT) is 0.4dB. 1) 5dB gain antenna, 3-meter “pigtail” RG58 cable: –(Antenna Gain – Cable Loss - SMA Connector Loss) = – (5dB – 3m x 0.6 dB/m – 0.2 dB) = –3.0 dB 2) 5dB gain antenna with N-connector on the antenna, 100-meter LMR-400 cable plus 2 -meter RG58 adapter cable: –(Antenna Gain – N-connector Loss – LMR-400 Cable Loss – N/SMA Adapter Loss – RG58 Cable Loss – SMA Connector Loss) = –(5dB – 0.2dB - 100m x 0.06dB/m – 0.4dB – 2 x 0.6dB/m – 0.2dB) = +3.0 dB Valid values for each parameter in the i-PORT Configuration section can be obtained from Appendix A.

Document ID: UG-i-PORT III NAE -26- i-PORT III User’s Guide 5.0 Viewing Tags i-LINKS Viewer Interface 5.1 i-LINKS Viewer is a GUI for viewing tag reads from i-PORT III while running the i-LINKS Agent. Please refer to the i-LINKS Viewer User Guide for instructions on how to use and setup i-LINKS Viewer. Debug Interface 5.2 i-PORT III has a debug interface in which you can view tag reads through a terminal window. Typical uses for the debug interface is to test the i-PORT functionality without running the i-LINKS Agent. Things to Note Prior to Using the Debug Interface • • If the i-PORT is running an Agent make sure to backup your current settings and scripts as these will be lost when using the debug option. In order to connect to the debug port of the i-PORT you must set the Custom Application switch to OFF. 5.2.1 Viewing Debug Output Create a Telnet connection to the debug port (Default IP-Address: 192.168.2.244, Port: 7090). From a command prompt type in “telnet 192.168.2.244 7090”. Debug information showing the result of each scan will then be displayed on the monitor. # Tags in List Tag ID Field Strength Antenna 1 Field Strength Antenna 2 Session Setup (active) Read data (inactive) Data (inactive) Document ID: UG-i-PORT III NAE -27- i-PORT III User’s Guide 6.0 6.1 Operating Restrictions Triggered Operation, FCC 15.231 (a) If the i-PORT III will be used for triggered operation according to FCC 47 CFR §15.231 (a) the following restrictions have to be obeyed: Maximum radiated power must not exceed 3dBm (2mW EIRP), including all cable losses and antenna gain. To calculate this radiated power from the settings of the i-PORT please see paragraph 4.4 above. Length of transmission has to be limited to 5 seconds. This can safely be done by reading no more than 4kB of data from a tag. Please note that this are functions of both the driving software and the setup of the device. In order to avoid any violations of the FCC rules the responsible System Integrator and his trained installation personnel has to implement this in the application software and use the password mechanism built into the i-PORT. This will prevent the user to adjust any settings which are not allowed. This system is only authorized for professional installation. Please note that the output power and scan pause can be set in the configuration menu. In order to avoid any violations of the FCC rules the responsible System Integrator and his trained installation personnel has to use the password mechanism built into the i-PORT. This will prevent the user to adjust any settings which are not allowed.

First execute a cold start (interrupt the power supply) and observe the system. If the error occurs again, contact IDENTEC SOLUTIONS. 2) For other problems, follow the procedures as outlined below. Problem No functionality after turning on the power supply Possible Cause No power - Measure the voltage at the terminal blocks Procedure Solution - If no voltage at terminal Change power supply unit, if blocks, check power supply necessary unit - Measure directly at the outlet for a power adaptor - For a switching power supply, measure voltage at both input and output sides No communication Wrong IP address between i-PORT and network (PC) i.e. cannot ping i-PORT - Double-check the i-PORT IP address. Default-IP: 192.168.2.244 - Perform a ping on the IP (see “Configuration, Settings”) - If this is unsuccessful, start the Boot menu and check/change the IP Change the IP address if necessary and try to ping the i-PORT i-PORT IP and Host IP are not in the same subnet - Double-check the subnet mask Change the subnet mask Wrong network cable - Direct connection i-PORT / Host: cross-over network cable - i-PORT integrated into network: network cable Defective network - Do optical check on cable cable Wrong MACaddress in ARPcache Tags are not being Antennas are not recognized connected Antennas are not being triggered Document ID: UG-i-PORT III NAE Change the network cable Change network cable - Check ARP-cache Clear ARP-cache and try to ping the i-PORT again - Check if the antennas are fastened correctly Fasten antenna cables to the designated sites.
