Mercury4/5 RFID ReaderMercury4 MERCURY5RFID ReaderThis guide explains how to set up the Mercury4 or Mercury5 Reader, how to congure it for networked operation, and how to use the browser-based interface. Separate appendices contain specications and antenna information specic to each reader.2 The clipboard icon indlcates a general background note or warning. ; The mouse icon indicates an important tip on using the reader.2 To learn more about the Mercury 4/5 reader, a Reader Query Language (RQL) Reference Guide is available on the ThingMagic web site. RQL queries for accessing tags are built in to the reader’s web interface but you can get more out of your reader by modifying them. ThingMagic’s low-level APIs (application programming interfaces) provide ne control over all aspects of the reader. A separate API Programming Guide and SDK (software developer kit) is available upon request from ThingMagic.About this Guide1
Mercury4/5 RFID ReaderEnclosed with your Mercury4/5 reader are the following components:› a certied limited power source with 1.2m (4 ft) secondary cable and 1.8m (6 ft) line cord. Total overall length when assembled is 3m (10 ft). (TM-M4-PS)› a shielded Ethernet crossover 1.5m (5 ft) cable to connect the reader directly to a computer (CAT5: TM-CAB-CROSS5)› a Mercury4 (TM-M4-NA-02) or Mercury5 reader (TM-M5-NA-02)› this Mercury4/5 User Guide. (TM-M4/5-X-INSTALL)There is no additional software to install..You’ll also need the following additional hardware:› Up to four antennas. › Two antenna cables for each antenna.› A computer with an Ethernet port and a Java-enabled web browser.Assembling and operating your Mercury4/5 reader is easy and straightforward:› Connect the antennas to the reader.› Power up the reader.› Connect your computer to the reader.› Set your computer’s network properties.› Log on to the reader with a Java-enabled browserThe following pages detail these steps and show how to get you up and running quickly.Setting Up the Reader for Single Reader Operation2Required EquipmentSet Up Procedure
Mercury4/5 RFID ReaderSetting Up the Reader for Single Reader Operation 2 Use only authorized antennas and cables to maintain FCC approval . For Mercury4, see pages 44-45. For Mercury5, see pages 46-47.Up to four antennas can be connected to the reader. Each antenna has two ports which are connected in pairs to the reader: one for transmitting, the other for receiving. While either port can be used to transmit or receive, for best performance we recommend using the top port for Transmit and the bottom for Receive.› Place the antennas upright.When connecting each pair of antenna cables, follow the labels on the reader faceplate as shown below.› Connect the top port of the antenna to the T-1 (transmit) port on the reader. Connect the bottom port of the antenna to the R-1 (receive) port on the reader. › Repeat for the second through fourth antenna, if supplied, using T2 and R2, etc.Connect the Antennas to the Readerñ
