Introduction The Intelleflex XC3 Technology based Cellular Multi-Protocol Reader, CMR-6100, is a new age RFID reader that provides extended RFID capabilities with industry-leading range as well as the ability to connect remotely through a GSM. Along with the GSM network, the CMR-6100 is capable of decoding GPS data. The CMR-6100 advanced design ensures easy field upgradeability, in addition to support for ISO 18000-6:2010 and EPC-global C1G2 industry standards. Figure 1.1-1 the CMR-6100 This user manual describes the operation and installation of the CMR-6100. This manual is intended for, but not limited to, Intelleflex RFID software and integration partners responsible for incorporating Intelleflex XC3 Technology into new or existing RFID solutions. 2. The Intelleflex CMR-6100 2.1 Description The CMR-6100 has unique functionality which supports connections through Ethernet and a GPRS cellular modem. The cellular modem also provides access to GPS location and time synchronization. In order to take full advantage of the remote capabilities of a cellular modem, the CMR-6100 offers autonomous functionality. The autonomous functionality of the CMR-6100 is provided by the hosting and remote management of internal application programs (agents) capable of communicating to the CMR6100 and other local devices. The CMR-6100 also offers two optically isolated general purpose inputs and two open-drain outputs. There are two pairs of bi-static antenna connectors: 2 transmit (Tx) and 2 receive (Rx) ports. The CMR-6100 also has a USB Type-A receptacle with high levels of USB driver support. 2.2 Power and External Connections To power the Intelleflex CMR-6100 use the provided +24VDC 2.5A power supply and use the DC power input on the back panel of the reader, ensuring the connector has been completely inserted into the receptacle and the locking screw is secured to finger tightness. There is an addition battery DC input on the CMR-6100 which powers the unit completely but notifies the hosted application agent that the main power source has been turned off and it is now running on battery backup. This is useful to limit cellular network and RF transmitting to make sure the battery backup isn’t depleted quickly. Additionally on the back panel is a USB Type-A receptacle, RJ45 LAN, USB Type-B receptacle, and the GPIO screw pin adapter receptacle. The USB Type-A receptacle is designed to take almost all USB based devices, addition internal application support may be needed to run complex devices such as modems, but USB memory sticks, USB to Serial adapters and printers are supported. The USB Type-B receptacle is a serial port connection which provides direct access to the CMR-6100 network settings. For more information about the GPIO connector see Chapter 2.4.5. Intelleflex Confidential | User Manual | CMR-6100 Figure 2.1-1 CMR-6100 Back Connector Panel When using the CMR-6100, be sure to always have antennas connected to at least one pair of antenna ports – This is imperative to ensure proper behavior of the unit.

These connectors are separated into pairs, two are dedicated for transmit and two are dedicated for receive. At a minimum one pair of antennas needs to be connected: a “pair” consisting of one transmit antenna and one receive antenna. Mounting hardware is provided with the antennas to easily attach antennas either to a pole or wall. A mounting instruction sheet is provided with the mounting hardware. Mount one antenna pair such that antennas are at least six feet above the ground. To maximize read range, space the Transmit (Tx) and Receive (Rx) antennas at least a foot apart. You can also mount the antennas side-by-side (horizontally) so long as a minimum separation of one foot is maintained. Be sure to verify the antennas are connected to the correct ports; the antenna’s function is labeled on the back of the antenna. Connect the Tx antenna to the Tx port on the reader, and Rx antenna to the Rx port on the reader. Use the supplied RF cables with reverse TNC connecters. Figure 2.3-1 Tx and Rx antenna spacing Two pairs of antenna pairs may be connected to the reader at any given time. When several Rx and Tx antennas are connected, the reader can be set up to transmit on any Tx port and receive on any Rx port. 2.4.2 Serial Connection There is a direct serial connection port on the CMR-6100 that allows for a PC to establish a connection with the reader through a standard USB cable. This creates a Virtual Communication Port (VCP) that allows PCs without serial ports to connect directly to the reader without buying a Serial to USB adapter. Drivers to support this feature can be found on the Intelleflex support website: Intelleflex Download Support. Once the driver is installed and the USB cable is connected to both the reader and the PC, opening up a serial connection can be done easily on both Windows or OS X for Mac based systems. To connect over serial on a specific system please see Appendix A for details. Use a Baud Rate of 115200, data 8 bit, Parity none, and Stop of 1 bit with no flow control. Once a serial connection is established to the reader connect the Ethernet cable using the power injector (see next section for details). Allow the unit to boot. When the unit has booted all the way, you will see the print out on the screen as in Figure 2.3-2. Figure 2.3-2 Serial Port Boot Output Intelleflex Confidential | User Manual | CMR-6100 2.4.3 Status and Activity LEDs There are five active LEDs on the front right corner of the CMR-6100. They are used to see the status or activity level of the reader. When a reader is first plugged in, the Power LED will illuminate and stay illuminated until power is removed from the unit. The next two lights to turn on will be Boot and Network. Boot will light up when the host application is ready to accept connections. Network will light up when the DHCP client has started and is ready to accept a network connection from a DHCP server, or when the reader has assigned itself a static IP address. Figure 2.3-3 (Cutaway) LED Activity and Status Lights Transmit is a dynamic light that will flicker whenever the CMR-6100 is transmitting RF signals out of either of the antenna ports. This light does not necessarily indicate it is finding tags, only that RF is successfully being broadcasted from the reader. The light will flicker (or pulse) at a rate that is dependent on the length and duty cycle of the transmission. If the reader is assigned to read the full content of user memory, the light will be illuminated until the transmission has ended. Network is a dual purpose LED, configured to flash while cellular data is being transferred or to be solid while LAN connection is provided. Fault is an error triggered LED that will stay illuminated if there is a system error. If the Fault light is illuminated on your CMR-6100 please contact Intelleflex Technical Support (information found at the beginning and end of this document) to get the reader serviced at your earliest convenience. Note: The Fault light will be illuminated for a few seconds during boot and will then go out when the boot sequence has successfully completed. 2.4.4 General Purpose I/O There are four digital General Purpose Input and Output (GPIO) ports on the CMR-6100 that are accessed through the provided 8 pin screw head connector. There are two opto-isolated inputs, two open drain outputs, Ground pin, and +5v pin. Figure 2.3-4 Optically Isolated Input Schematic Intelleflex Confidential | User Manual | CMR-6100 The inputs are differential optically isolated inputs. A differential input provided on the positive and negative side of each input will drive either a positive (logic 1) or negative (logic 0) voltage through the isolator. There is a 1k resistor in series with the positive input pin on each input. The outputs are open-drain, driven by a MOSFET, and will either drive the pin to a ground, closing the MOSFET, by providing a digital 1 logic level or become a high impedance output, opening the MOSFET, by providing a digital 0 logic level. Figure 2.3-5 Open-Drain Digital Output On the readers back panel, located just left of middle, is the green GPIO socket that the provided screw terminal fits into. The screw header fits securely into the socket and is tightened down with the two attached screws. Looking at the reader, the pins are numbered left to right from eight (8) to one (1). See Figure 2.3-6 for details and Table 2.3-1 for the pin out. Figure 2.3-6 8 Pin GPIO Header (Looking at the Reader) Table 2.3-1 Pin Description and Characteristics Pin Description Characteristics Vdd 5v @ 50mA IN 1+ Max Current 10mA IN 14 IN 2+ Max Current 10mA IN 26 OUT 1 62v@100mA Max OUT 2 62v@100mA Max GND Ground 2.4.5 Reader Mounting The case of the CMR-6100 has been designed with included mounting holes located on either side of the case. When mounting the reader, keep in mind the antenna cables and where they are going to route. If mounting the unit outside or in an industrial area, consider using a NEMA enclosure to protect the unit. Intelleflex Confidential | User Manual | CMR-6100 3. Web Based Reader Interface The test interface to the CMR-6100 is a web browser enabled GUI through which the user may interact with the reader. This interface is based on a web server that resides on the reader. Through this interface, the user can set the reader’s name, upgrade the reader with new firmware, choose a static IP address or enable DHCP, check status and version numbers, set cellular connection parameters and manage agents. The user can then inventory C3 or C1G2 tag IDs and interact with tag memory. 3.1 Establishing a Connection The CMR-6100 reader supports Internet Explorer and Mozilla Firefox. For More information about obtaining the IP address of the reader please see Section 2.3.2. Once the reader’s IP address is known, type in the IP address of the reader (e.g., http://10.1.7.90) into the browser address bar, the reader interface will appear and the status screen will be displayed by default. 3.2 Checking Versions and Status Upon successfully connecting to the reader, the browser defaults to the status page. From this page the Firmware Version of the reader can be determined (“Software Version”), as well as the Serial Number and MAC Address. Intelleflex Confidential | User Manual | CMR-6100 Figure 3.2-1 Status and System Page 3.3 Manually Setting to Static or DHCP From the Admin/Management tags, the Reader Name, Network Setup, and NTP server can be dynamically configured. Be sure to talk to your network administrator before assigning a static IP address to the reader as this can create IP conflicts on your network and will cause the CMR-6100 to not properly respond to commands. Figure 3.3-1 Admin Management Page 10 Intelleflex Confidential | User Manual | CMR-6100 3.4 Upgrading Reader Firmware Upgrading the Firmware on the CMR-6100 is done through the “Firmware Upgrade” tab under “Admin”. Obtain the latest version of the FW through the Intelleflex website or contact the Intelleflex Support department if you believe that your firmware version is out of date or if you are experiencing any problems using the web based interface. Figure 3.4-1 Reader Firmware Upgrade Page 3.5 Basic Inventory Demo The Demo’s tag Inventory page is the main page used to interface with tags. From this page the user has the ability to inventory tags with different RF and reader parameters, read and write to tag user memory, and verify functionality of the system. Figure 3.5-1 Inventory and Search Configuration Page Reader parameters are controlled via “config” lines. A single config line or multiple config lines may be used. A config line is a command sent to the reader telling it what parameters and settings to use during an inventory action. Within each config line, the following reader parameters can be set: • Protocol – C3 or C1G2 • Power level in dBm, between 0 and +30 dBm • Q value, between 0 and 13 • Tx and Rx antenna • Performance Profile Protocol: Select C3 or C1G2 operation from the Protocol dropdown menu. Two config lines can be used to have the reader read a mixed tag population simultaneously. Power: Set between 0 and full power of +30 dBm. Use full power to read C3 tags at long range. 11 Intelleflex Confidential | User Manual | CMR-6100 Q value: This value defines the number of time slots that are included in a Query. Total time slots = 2 . On average having more slots than tags in the field is better than having too few. On a general rule of thumb using twice as many slots as tags works well, with the exception of very large populations of tags. Tx ant: Select transmit antenna Rx ant: Select receive antenna Performance Profile: Changing this value will change the performance of the system; by selecting “High Speed/Low Sensitivity” the system will perform inventories as fast as possible at the expense of read distance. “Medium Speed & Sensitivity” is a middle balance between speed and read distance. “Low Speed / High Sensitivity” is going to perform very slowly relative to the other two, but will maximize read distance and performance in challenging RF environments. Loop: Check this box for the reader to repeatedly execute the defined set of config lines. Leave it unchecked to execute each defined config line once and only once, before stopping reads. Search Results Figure 3.5-2 Search Results with a tag Found The black window on the left shows the tag ID of each tag, as it is read. Text from this window may be copied into a document, if needed. The window holds the last 100 tag IDs read. The summary window on the right displays the unique tag IDs of identified tags, number of times that tag was read, the config line that most recently found the tag, the tag type (C3 or C1G2), and the dBm value of the Received Signal Strength Indicator (RSSI). Each field may be sorted by clicking on the corresponding gray header (i.e. to sort by protocol, click “Type”). A summary of reads is also displayed above the unique tag reads window. At the top right corner of the Find Tags window, the Last Operation Result section displays the status of the most current command, giving the user some real time feedback on reader operation. 3.6 Basic Memory Reader and Write Demo The web based demonstration page includes a simple tag memory management page that allows you to read and write hexadecimal data in and out of the tag memory. Access to the memory is given by “Block” address and an offset. In all Intelleflex XC3 tags there is 60 kilobits of user memory that is broken up into 60 1kbit “Blocks”. To access the “Manage Tag Memory” section on the Demo page, find a tag and double click on the tag in the search results viewing area. The window in Figure 3.6-1 will show after double clicking on the tag. 12 Intelleflex Confidential | User Manual | CMR-6100 Figure 3.6-1 Tag EPC Read from Tag Memory Management Page By Selecting the EPC Memory Bank and an Offset of 2 with a length of 12 bytes, the CMR-6100 will read the EPC data that is stored in the tag. All of user memory can also be read and written to in the same way that the EPC memory was accessed here. 3.7 GPIO Testing and Verification Page The GPIO Testing page enables the CMR-6100 to either set or detect the logic levels of the general purpose inputs or outputs. See Section 2.5 for more information about the General Purpose I/O. Figure 3.7-1 GPIO Test and Verification Webpage 3.8 WAN Setup Depending on the SIM card installed, different APN information will be required. Please consult Intelleflex Support for addition information or support. 13 Intelleflex Confidential | User Manual | CMR-6100 3.9 Data Collection Agents CMR-6100 Reader Software provides set of Data Collection Agents (Ruby based applications which execute autonomously on CMR-6100). Data Collections agents consist of couple of main components: • • Connection Setup – connection can be TCP or cellular Data collection logic – This component defines what type of data id being collected by the agent. Base agent install package contains three types of agents: o Agent for collecting tag inventory: Inventory o Agent for reading TMT tag status with ability to send SMS message to the reader and commanding to read full tag memory data: Status o Agent for finding tags and reading full content of a tag on scheduled interval (note that this operation is very data intensive and it can result in big data set being sent over WAN connection: ReadLog • Data Formatting – Currently agent infrastructure provides support for XML and JSON message format. Plug and play architecture allows for easy addition of new message formats (see Intelleflex Data Services documentation for more details about message formats.) Data Buffering – If there is no connectivity at the time, data will be buffered and prepared to send at later time. • • Remote server address defines where collected data will be sent. By default, agents are configured to send data to Intelleflex Data Collection Services which provides infrastructure for reliable data collection, data storage and cleansing. Stored data is the made available through Intelleflex Data Services (see Intelleflex Data Services documentation for more details about how to access the data.) 3.10 Agent Setup In the Script Configuration select the desired agent and the desired settings. Looping Interval dictates how often the agent is going to execute the script in minutes. Server Push Interval dictates how often that stored data in the buffer should get pushed to the server. And the buffer entry tells the agent how big of a ring buffer to create. Select the desired RF settings and click Save. To run the script click run and the Script Status window will update. 14 Intelleflex Confidential | User Manual | CMR-6100 15 Intelleflex Confidential | User Manual | CMR-6100 4. Troubleshooting tips 4.1 Reader is unresponsive 4.2 Verify that the reader is powered, the power adapter LED is on, and the three recessed lights on the back of the reader above the serial connector are on. • Power cycle the reader. After all three lights come on, connect to the reader. • Verify network connectivity. Check reader and host IP address and ping the reader. Reader is not reading tags 4.3 16 • • Verify that at least one pair of antennas (one Tx and one Rx) are connected and attached to the appropriate ports on the reader. • From the Demo/test page, verify that that the config line specifies the correct Tx and Rx pair. • Ensure that the correct config line parameters have been set; to test the reader set the following parameters: protocol (C3 or C1G2), power (set full power at +30 dBm), Q value (set between 4 and 6), select the right Tx and Rx antennas. • Make sure that the appropriate type of tags are being used for the application. For example, use a mount-on-metal tag for a metal mount application. • Make sure that you are using the appropriate Performance Profile for your application, if it is not reading the tag in a difficult RF environment, try selecting a slower, yet more RF robust, sensitive profile. Reader response is slow or sluggish • Multiple configuration lines will slow the reader down, Use one configuration line if you want the fastest response. • Check Q value. For larger tag populations, higher Q should be used. In general, avoid Q values greater than 9. • Make sure that you are using the appropriate Performance Profile for your application. If it is reading too slowly for your needs, try selecting a less sensitive profile.
