Portable RSE
2. OVERVIEW
Introduction
The Portable RSE is a hand-held device that can read all IAG-compatible On Board Units (OBUs). The OBU data is
stored in the Portable RSE where it can be viewed and later downloaded to a Lane Controller (LC). The Portable RSE
supplements existing Electronic Toll Collection (ETC) systems and can be used for applications such as valet parking,
transponder screening, and enforcement.
Portable RSE components
The Portable RSE consists of a Reader module joined to an Ultra-Rugged Field PC and has of the following
components:
•
battery: This device comes with a lithium ion rechargeable battery pack.
•
external power supply: The external power supply connects to AC power and supplies 12V DC to the Portable
RSE. This external power supply charges the battery while it powers the device.
•
short-range antenna: range of approx. 5 ft.
•
optional remote antenna: reach of approx. 8 ft.
•
50 Ω terminating resistor: this resistor is connected to terminate one of the antenna terminals when that
terminal is not connected to an antenna.

Portable RSE
Antennas
The Portable RSE is equipped with a standard locally attached antenna that allows the unit to read Transponders. It
provides a connection for the same type of antenna to be remotely attached via a RF cable for increased distance
from the PDA to the tag. A dedicated terminal is located on the top of the Portable RSE for each type of antenna. The
unused antenna terminal must be terminated with a 50 Ω terminating resistor.

Portable RSE
How the Portable RSE works
When an OBU read is initiated, the Portable RSE scans for any IAG-protocol OBUs within range. OBUs within range
respond by transmitting their data to the Portable RSE. This data is then decoded and displayed on the LCD. The
Portable RSE includes a standard whip antenna that allows the unit to read OBUs at a distance of approximately 5
feet. An optional remote antenna is available that can extend the reach of the device to approximately 9 feet. The
Portable RSE does not write to the OBU.
Data Storage
The data read by the Portable RSE is stored internally in the Portable RSE where it can be either be viewed or
downloaded to the LC. The Portable RSE can store data from a maximum of 1000 OBU reads. Once 1000 OBUs have
been read, the data must be downloaded to an LC or erased before more OBUs can be read. OBU data is automatically
erased from the Portable RSE once it has been downloaded to the LC. See Erasing OBU data on page 38 for more
information.
Synchronization
When performing a read, the Portable RSE checks for incoming RF signals from toll plaza Readers. If trigger pulses
from toll plaza Readers are detected, the Portable RSE determines the length of time between trigger pulses (i.e. the
length of the superframe) and sends its own trigger pulse when it is unlikely to conflict with the toll plaza Reader. This
ensures data is not corrupted in either the Portable RSE or toll plaza Readers.
Note:
To avoid potential performance impacts on toll plaza Readers, the Portable
RSE must be positioned in accordance with the requirements of this section.

RF Power Level settings
The RF signal level can be adjusted when the Portable RSE is configured to use the short-range antenna port. The RF
Power level is fixed at High when the Portable RSE is configured to use the long range antenna port since the purpose
of the long-range antenna port is to use the remote antenna with the Portable RSE. The RF Power Level settings
available are outlined in Table 4-1. The Medium and Low power settings are recommended for use in confined spaces
or when other OBUs are nearby.
