This device complies with part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and, (2) This device must accept any interference received including interference that may cause undesired operation. Modifications or conversions which are carried out on this unit without the express permission of KTC may invalidate the FCC permit for the operation of this unit. Note: To meet part 15 of the FCC regulations in the United States, the system must be properly installed to guarantee adherence to the certification regulations according to part 15. The operator and the specialist company which carries out installation are responsible for ensuring that only certified systems are used in the United States. Note: Following corresponding tests, it has been ascertained that this unit adheres to the limit values for class B digital units in accordance with part 15 of the FCC regulations. These limit values are intended to provide private user's systems with appropriate protection against harmful radio interference. This unit generates and uses energy in the radio frequency range and is also able to radiate this; if it is not installed and used in accordance with the regulations, the unit may cause harmful radio communication interference. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a specific system. If this unit causes harmful radio or television reception interference, which can be ascertained by switching the unit on and off, we recommend that the user attempts to rectify this interference via one or more of the following measures: - Realign the receive antenna or change its position. - Increase the distance between the unit and the receiver. - Plug the unit into a socket in a current circuit other than that to which the receiver is connected. - Seek advice from the retailer or an experienced radio/television technician. Warning regarding exposure to RF radiation Ensure a minimum clearance of 20 cm between the antenna and the human body, and comply with the operating instructions for RFID antennas. In some circumstances, heart pacemakers may suffer interference if wearers are close to the antenna when the unit is in operation (reader and antenna). In case of doubt, the people affected are requested to contact the manufacturer of their pacemaker or their doctor. The reader output power must be reduced as a function of the antenna cable length and the antenna gain.
Kapsch TrafficCom AG Installation Manual | SRU-8100 RFID Reader 18000-63 Doc No. 47000001169 | Version 01 | 2014-11-03 | released Page 15 of 58 4 Introduction 4.1 The reader The KTC RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) reader is a multi-protocol-capable device for reading active and passive RFID tags in the frequency range from 865 to 868 MHz for Europe type “EU” and 902 to 928 MHz for the American market type “US”. As supplied the unit can read and write tags in accordance with the EPC-Gen2 standard. Additional protocols can be loaded using software updates. The device has a maximum of four external antenna ports for connection of the transmission/reception antennas for communication with RFID tags. For integration into a variety of infrastructures, the device has different communication interfaces depending on the variant. The power supply is provided by a 4-pin M12 panel connector in A-coding. 4.2 RFID system Figure 1 RFID Reader subsystem (up to 4 antennas possible) To read the tag information, the reader sends an RF carrier by an active antenna and thus supplies the tag in the RF field with energy. For testing and parameterizing the reader the Demo Software ReaderStart v2 can be used. The communication between the ReaderStart v2 and the reader is based on a Dynamic Link Library (DLL) called RRU4DotNet.dll, which may also be used for creating user specific lane controller applications. The DLL includes all the relevant commands and functions, which are needed to control the reader. Additionally, the reader may also be controlled by direct TCP communication. The user-specific control software may also run on the reader directly. Thus, a stand-alone operation without permanent network connection is possible 4.3 Kathrein RFID Antenna Interface © KRAI The KTC RFID reader is able to control antennas from the manufacturer Kathrein by using their proprietary communication interface ©KRAI. Those Kathrein antennas are not included in the product portfolio of KTC and thus in combination with the KTC RFID reader device there is no active support given by KTC when using KRAI antennas.

The various communication connections are grouped in 3 sections: COM for serial connections via the port (RS232/485/422), USB for connections up to version USB 2.0 and Ethernet for connections via TCP/IP. Within this installation manual, only the Ethernet section is described in detail. When the connection is established, the program interrogates the information about the installed I/O cards. The information can be viewed and changed via the I/O card configuration Figure 17 Tab for the Communication by Ethernet I/O card The Ethernet connection can be achieved by connecting the reader onto an existing network, or by a direct connection between the reader and the host computer. For direct connection of the reader to the PC, a cross-link cable is required (unless the LAN interface on the PC supports “auto-mdi-x”). Note: From reader firmware 2.04, by factory default the reader has the IP address 192.168.0.1 with the network mask 255.255.255.0. Reader versions earlier than this are configured for DHCP. To integrate the reader into a corporate network, please contact your administrator who will be able to allocate you a spare IP address and assign the correct network mask. Alternatively the reader can also be configured to obtain an IP address automatically. For this service, referred to as DHCP, an appropriate DHCP server must be operating in the network. You can obtain more details about this from your network administrator.
Kapsch TrafficCom AG Installation Manual | SRU-8100 RFID Reader 18000-63 Doc No. 47000001169 | Version 01 | 2014-11-03 | released Page 35 of 58 Note: The IP addresses of the control computer and the reader must be in the same IP range, but they must not be the same. The network mask on the other hand must be identical. In order to establish the connection to the reader, the program offers two options: On the one hand, it is possible to communicate directly with the reader by entering the IP address; on the other hand it is also possible to establish a connection using the reader's host name. For the connection using a host name, there must be a correspondingly configured DHCP server and a DNS in the network. After power up, the reader makes a DHCP request and queries the DHCP server. This assigns the reader an IP address and reports the network name and IP address to the DNS server. If now the connection has been established, the IP address of the reader is determined by a query on the DNS server. The correct IP address or the host name of the reader must be entered in the corresponding field. Pressing the Connect button tries to establish the connection to the reader. As an alternative, the function Search for Readers allows a lookup for connected readers without knowing their IP address. This feature searches for KTC RFID reader devices on the network by sending an UDP broadcast - Please make sure to be in the same network segment as the reader is. The communication interface settings can be changed using the IO card configuration. All available I/O cards are displayed here in as tabs. Clicking on the respective tab opens the associated card and displays all respective configuration parameters, together with the card type that was detected. Under the IO card type header there is a drop-down menu, in which the card type can be set to Auto detect, Card not used or to the actual card type. Automatic detection restores the interface to the default settings. If the card type is set to not used, this interface can no longer to used. All card-specific configuration parameters are displayed on the card sheet when the recognized card type is set. These parameters are described in the following sections for the respective card. The settings are saved to the reader by pressing the Save changes button. Note: The new parameters, provided nothing to the contrary is specified for the specific card, become valid only when the reader has been restarted. If incorrect parameters are loaded, the reader can no longer be accessed! GPIO settings: The GPIO card allows the reader to interact with its environment. In this tab, the inputs and outputs can be configured for the respective application under the headings Input and Output. Note: Refer to the electrical characteristics of the inputs and outputs in the data sheet; if these characteristics are exceeded the card and the reader may be damaged.

The Invert logical input option negates the electrical input signal and uses this status for processing in the reader. If the check is not set, the signal is used unchanged. Depending on the sensor being used (mechanical or electrical switch), a debounce time in milliseconds can be assigned to each channel. Various functions can be assigned to the output ports. Further parameters can be activated, depending on the function selected. The following functions are available: No. Parameter Function 1 Off The selected output is deactivated 2 On The selected output is always on 3 1Hz frequency The selected output flashes at a frequency of 1 Hertz 4 2Hz frequency The selected output flashes at a frequency of 2 Hertz 5 4Hz frequency The selected output flashes at a frequency of 4 Hertz 6 8Hz frequency The selected output flashes at a frequency of 8 Hertz 7 RF on The output is active for Turn - off time milliseconds as soon as the radio frequency is present at the antenna First antenna to Last antenna. 8 Antenna error The output is active for Turn - off time milliseconds as soon as an antenna error occurs at antenna First antenna to Last antenna. 9 Tag found The output is active for Turn - off time milliseconds as soon as a tag is found at the antenna. First antenna to Last antenna. 10 RF on The output is active for Turn - off time milliseconds as soon as an air communication operation on a tag was successful at the antenna First antenna to Last antenna. 11 Protocol access The output is released and can be activated with commands on the API communication interface

See the GPIO functions section for more details on action lists. Once all the settings have been performed, the changes are loaded to the reader by pressing the Save changes button, and take effect immediately. Default configuration: No default configuration is foreseen for this card type. Note: If this card setting is changed from Auto detect or Card not used to GPIO, the reader must be restarted so that the card is correctly initialized. Ethernet settings: Figure 19 Configuration parameters for the Ethernet module The parameters have the following meaning: Parameter Function Name Here the host name of the reader which is logged on to the DNS server is stated. The reader can be addressed by this name as an alternative to the IP address. IP-Address For manual issuing of the address. This parameter can be used only if the DHCP is deactivated Subnetmask For manual issuing of a network mask. This parameter can be used only if the DHCP is deactivated. Gateway Manual input of IP default gateway. This parameter can be used only if DHCP is deactivated.

If the connection to the reader is broken, the reader shuts down the connection. If this parameter is deactivated (0 ms), the socket is shut down only when the reader is restarted. DHCP Activates the automatic issuing of an IP address by a DHCP server; if the network has a configured DNS server, the host name of the reader can also be used. Note: If no keep-alive time is set it may happen that the reader cannot take up any further connections because the existing connections have not been properly shut down (e.g. following a breakage in the wire). In this case the reader has to be restarted. It is recommended that the keep-alive time is used to check the connection between the reader and PC. The data is saved in the reader by pressing the Save changes button. The data are however not loaded to the active configuration until the reader is restarted. Note: If the interface is wrongly configured, no connection to the reader can be established. The IP default configuration is as follows: Host name: UHF-RFID-Dev IP address: 192.168.0.1 Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0 Keep-alive time: 2000ms DHCP: deactivated 7.4.4 Application tab The Application tab enables quick and easy configuration of the RFID Reader for a selected application. The available applications are represented visually in the upper area of the tab by labelled pictograms. Under the Settings header, the number of tags expected, the antennas to be used, the parameter set in which the configuration should be saved and the values for max. read frequency and max. read reliability options are stated.

Clicking on the Apply settings button saves the settings that were made, as well as the settings for the selected application in the selected parameter set. This is done by first resetting them to the factory settings and thus overwriting the previous configuration. This must be acknowledged. Success is indicated by the Apply settings button glowing briefly, and by display of a success message in the status window. If the process fails, the button glows briefly orange for a warning or briefly red for an error (and if the failure was due to an entry being omitted, in addition the field that is lacking the entry glows red), and by display of a warning description or error description in the status window. If the settings have been loaded successfully we may had on to the Basic reading tab. Note: If more than one hundred tags simultaneously in the field, the application may be tuned with respect to: When the max. read frequency option is set, on every detection (inventory) all tags are reset in order to read them fresh. Under some circumstances the time allowed for detecting the tags may be insufficient, so that some transponders are not detected. The tag frequency detection is thus increased. When the max. read reliability option is set, tags that have already been read are not reset at every detection (inventory), provided they are still being supplied with power. This means that only those tags which have not yet been registered are detected. The confidence that all tags are read is thus increased.Basic read functions This index card is divided into two columns, the first column contains a table with information about the read tags, and in the second column you can find the controls, which control the reading process.

When a tag appears in the field, the row is represented by the green tag information, when it disappears the row is red. The tag reading options are listed on the right side of the window. Two modes are available: „synchronous“ and „asynchronous“ (see below for details). On option is sort for unique tags. This is especially useful in multi-antenna applications and counts distinguishable tags in the communication field.
Kapsch TrafficCom AG Page 42 of 58 Installation Manual | SRU-8100 RFID Reader 18000-63Doc No. 47000001169 | Version 01 | 2014-11-03 | released 47000001169-Ins-01 The row "number of unique tags" specifies how many different tags were read. When the amount of tags is very high (> 200) the detection of the tags can be speeded up by omitting a newly initiated "Select” command (see EPC global standard). This can be tested by selecting Expert settings directly in read mode. If the read operation box is ticked with TransmitSelectIfNoFilterIsOn a "Select" command is sent in each Inventory. This means that all the tags that are identified at this time in the field will be reset. It can also happen that tags that have been read are sometimes reset and re-identified again. In order to capture only new tags, a renewed "Select" can be prevented. This tick box is cleared on TransmitSelectIfNoFilterIsOn and thus all tags defined only once read. This selection result is that no time is lost due to a re-read. Please note, however, that tags in which the read operation was interrupted cannot be retrieved! Thus, it may be that not 100% of the tags are read. Therefore, this parameter should be used with care in order to achieve top results. Synchronous mode: This mode is intended for applications when the requirements for timing are not critical. This mode allows the device to switch the carrier off during the idle times, thus saving power. The inventory of the tags (the read process) is performed across all the antennas that are configured. Once all tags in the field have been read on the last antenna, data are sent to the host PC. The inventory of the tags is then automatically retriggered by the PC. The Break after reading option specifies how many milliseconds to pause between two inventory processes. During this waiting time the carrier can be deactivated. See reference [2] „Configurational manual” for more information about how to perform this. In order to keep the time between inventories as short as possible in synchronous mode, data transmission between the inventories can be omitted. That means that the reader caches all the tags that it finds in the field in its internal RAM. After a configurable time this tag list is sent to the host PC. This time is given in milliseconds by the Bulk read parameter. The current reading performance is displayed under the item Tags per second. Asynchronous mode: This mode is intended for applications for which maximum performance is required. The reader starts the inventory as quickly as possible, and at the end of an inventory it does not deliver every tag that was read to the PC, but only those that had newly appeared in the field or left it. This allows the time required for communication with the host PC to be minimized. The timing of when a tag was reliably read in the field and when the tag no longer appears in the field can be defined more precisely using parameters. Details of these ObservedThresholdCnt and ObservedTimeoutCnt parameters can be found in section [2] Configuration Manual.

These is, in addition to the selected regulatory profile with the respective data rates, also application-specific data such as how many tags the reader is expecting in the field. You can optimize these parameters using the expert settings tabs (see below). . If the tags that have been read are to be saved to a file, this can be done by activating the Save to file option. The EPC, the length of the EPC, the antenna on which the tag was read, the RSSI value together with the time stamp when the tag was read are saved. The data are then saved in a CSV file in the program’s working directory. In the File menu, you are able to change this via “change to the log file File / Options / Path” Once the mode and the parameters have been selected, the read process can be started. Both modes are stopped by pressing the Stop button. The Delete button removes all tag entries from the table. 7.4.5 Basic writing function The Basic writing tab allows easy writing on tags. A fundamental distinction is to be made between synchronous writing - write on command - and asynchronous writing - write on arrival. Figure 22 Basic write function tab Synchronous writing: In this type of writing the data can only be written selectively to one EPC. This is selected in the EPC combo box in the center of the input window. Clicking the Refresh button detects once again all tags in the antenna field and adds them to the combo box.

If specified data should be written, optionally a data mask can be specified. When using random data, the amount of them should be stated in words (16-bit). Note: Right-clicking on the Data to write field opens a context menu, which allows the selected EPC to be copied into this field. Note: Right-clicking on the Data mask field allows this to be filled optionally with 0 or F according to the amount of the data to be written. Clicking on Start starts the execution of the previously specified number of write attempts. The error-free completion of all write attempts is once again indicated by the button glowing green and by a message in the status window. If any necessary data are lacking, the button briefly glows red and the field lacking the data glows red somewhat longer. The associated error message appears in the status window. The Writing successful and Writing failed fields indicate how often the write attempt succeeded or failed Hovering the mouse over the number of failed write attempts (provided indeed any failures did occur), calls up a window with detailed information. Asynchronous writing: In this type of writing the data is written to every EPC that shows up in the antenna field. When all necessary data (password, memory bank, memory address and data to write) have been entered, clicking on Start starts the asynchronous write process. Successful and failed write attempts are shown in the respective fields. Hovering the mouse over the number of failed write attempts (provided indeed any failures did occur), calls up a window with detailed information. Note: Right-clicking on the Data mask field allows this to be filled optionally with 0 or F according to the amount of the data to be written.

On the other hand, GPIO outputs are able to communicate reader states to the outside world, e.g. reading of specific tags or similar. The GPIO function offers various possibilities. One is testing the inputs and outputs directly via the GUI application. For more complex procedures, action lists can be created, which execute a sequence of commands on the reader. This list can then be linked to various inputs. The tab is divided into 5 sections. In order to perform settings on an IO card, the card number must be selected in the GPIO card drop-down menu. It shows only cards of the appropriate type. Figure 23 GPIO functions tab The Test output section can be used in order to selectively operate an output manually. In order to enable this access, the respective output of this card must previously have been connected to protocol access (see I/O card configuration Chapter 7.4.3). The Output in the drop-down menu is now selected in the header, and time is defined using the Duration parameter, until the output automatically returns to its idle mode. The IO operations can now be made using the Set output on and Set output off buttons. The inputs to the reader can be interrogated in the Read inputs section. Whether an input is set or not is shown in the signal fields. A one-off read process can be triggered by pressing the Read inputs button. If this reading shall be performed automatically, this process can be started by pressing the Read inputs cyclic start button. To automate the processes, command sequences in the form of action lists can be stored on the reader. These are triggered on edge of the signal transition at the selected input on the respective GPIO card. The action lists consist of a sequence of individual actions, which can be loaded in the form of an XML file. Use right mouse over the Action drop down menu to access the respective context menu. This file can be

See [2]. In order to use the newly added actions in the program, the file must be reloaded via the context menu. The Actionlist must be selected from the drop-down list. The Button Add action writes the action list into the reader. Pressing the Clear actionlist button clears down the selected list. Note: When the action list has been created, it is assigned under the Assign input to Actionlist header to an input and a selected signal edge. If it is desired to assign the list to both edges, the assignment must be made once for the rising edge and once for the downward edge. The assignment can be cancelled again by a restart/reset of the reader or by assignment of the No Actionlist item. The Actionlists created are stored only in the RAM of the reader. When restarting the reader these lists are deleted. For usage within an operational application, the respective commands to program the actions lists have to be executed by the host application on reader startup. The basic I/O configuration is set within the communication tab (see Chapter 7.4.3): Figure 24 GPIO settings in communication tab

If successful, the status window prints GPIOAddActionToActionlist (9): Successfully acknowledged. Assigning the Actionlist to the respective inputs The right side of the GPIO functions tab within the section Assign input to Actionlist allows the assignment of action list to the respective physical input ports. The assignment gets finally active by choosing Assign to rising edge or Assign to falling edge. Please note the respective acknowledgement in the status window. Note: The Action List is only capable to perform basic logic operations. A real whitelist handling based on the EPC values of tags and their assignment to output functions is not possible. 7.6 Expert settings 1 The ReaderStart v2 software is a powerful tool for configuration of the reader. It allows the reader to be customized to any application. The expert settings 1 and 2 allow the reader's RF interface and communications profile to be optimized with respect to tag reading performance. There are eight parameter sets available which are stored inside the reader device. The settings are able to be changed via the ReaderStart v2 software. Those settings allow a modification of the RF parameters to be used in the air-interface communication, See section [2] Configurational Manual for more information about the individual parameters.

Changes made on the respective parameter settings have to be saved to the reader device by choosing Save configuration. By choosing Reload configuration the made change on the GUI are discarded and overwritten by the settings stored in the reader. When changing the transmission channels are only available in the “EU” version of the reader. Note: When changing the transmission power you need to stick to the applicable national regulations. To operate the reader in accordance with the related national standards, the antenna gain and the cable attenuation must be taken into account in the transmission power setting. In no circumstances is it allowed to exceed the permitted transmission power. Failure to observe this instruction can result in non-compliant operation of the reader rendering void the unit's type approval. The radiated power is limited in Europe in accordance with ETSI 302208 to 2W ERP. In the FCC region, the power is limited to max. 1 W connected RF power with an antenna gain of 6 dBi. If the antenna gain is greater than 6 dBi, the RF power must be reduced accordingly. While the European standard refers to a half-wave dipole (ERP), FCC part 15 refers to an isotropic radiator (EIRP). To set the transmission power, the length-dependent cable attenuation and the antenna gain must be included in the calculation of the transmission power. An example for the calculation of the transmission power for Europe and FCC is given below:
Kapsch TrafficCom AG Page 50 of 58 Installation Manual | SRU-8100 RFID Reader 18000-63Doc No. 47000001169 | Version 01 | 2014-11-03 | released 47000001169-Ins-01 The following applies to the European region, Reader type “EU”: PReader Transmission power of the reader in dBm PERP Transmission power based on a half-wave dipole in dBm DKabel Cable attenuation in dB GHW Antenna gain based on a half-wave dipole The cable attenuation is the length-dependent attenuation of the cable at the used frequency: DKabel Cable attenuation in dB I Length in m DdB/m Attenuation in dB/m at specific frequency The antenna gain is stated in various different units. These units include dBi and dBic. The units dBi and dBic refer to an isotropic (spherical) radiator, where dBic refers to a circularly polarized isotropic radiator and dBi to a linearly polarized isotropic radiator. In the European regulation area, the radiated power must not exceed 2 W ERP. This figure refers to a half-wave dipole. Please see the equation below, showing the relationship between an isotropic radiator (dBi) and a half-wave dipole. GHW Gain based on a half-wave dipole Gisot Gain based on an isotropic radiator in dBi The transmission power for the European variant can be set in 0.25-dB steps from 20 dBm to 33 dBm.

GHW Gain based on a half-wave dipole Gisot Gain based on an isotropic radiator in dBic The following applies to the US region, Reader type “US”: In the FCC approval region, the RF power connected at the antenna input must not exceed 1 W. If the gain of the antenna is higher than 6 dBi, the RF power connected must be reduced correspondingly. The reader's transmission power is then: PReader Transmission power of the reader in dBm Pcond Power on antenna output in dBm DKabel Cable attenuation in dBm GHW Antenna gain in dBi Note: The antenna gain must be stated in dBic. The RFID reader's transmission power can be set separately for each antenna or all antennas at the same time. If the All antennas same power check box is set, the sliders for the other antennas are set to the same power when a slider for the power for antenna 1-4 is adjusted. If this check box is not selected, the power at the antennas can be set separately for each output. Pre-defined antennas can be selected in the Antenna type selection drop-down menu. This selection sets the antenna gain in the program, and limits the transmission power to the maximum value permitted for this antenna. If Custom antenna is selected, the gain and power can be freely set.

If this antenna is not activated, the system proceeds to the next entry on the multiplex list. For asynchronous operation of the reader, the exposure time on the antenna can also be specified. See section [2] „Configurational manual“, sections MultiplexingAntennaport and MultiplexingExposureTime for more details. RF settings Depending on the regulative region, the reader transmits in the frequency range 865 MHz to 868 MHz for Europe or 902 MHz to 928 MHz for USA / FCC. In Europe the number of channels to be used can be limited. For this purpose the related check box for each channel the reader is to use must be selected on the Available channels pick list. In this manner it is possible to avoid from the start the usage of specific channels on which there is or might be interference. Each read command connects the channels under country-specific conditions and in accordance with the selected communications standard. The reader then starts to search through the channels in ascending order. In the Communication standard drop-down menu, the reader can be switched to a different country-specific communications standard. The device firmware defines which customized standards are available. The modulation type can be switched between double sideband and PR-ASK modulation in this drop-down menu. The communications profile is critical for the data rate and the read reliability. This option allows the technician to directly influence the performance of the reader and the spectrum of the signal. The profile denominations contain basic indications on the transmission and reception data rates. Note: The optimal data rate may be subject of the used tag. The Time until carrier stand-by parameter specifies how long the carrier of the reader remains active on the air interface after the last action. Once this time has elapsed the carrier is switched off. Selection parameters In this section the user can configure the simulation the tags to the EPC standard (see EPC global standard). The parameters can be selected in the drop-down menu and have the following meanings: No. Parameter Function 1 Initial Q value Reflects the number of tags expected in the field. (see [2] and look for InitialQ) 2 Sel Specifies whether other parameters are of interest for an inventory of the tag population, or not. (see [2] and look for QuerySel) 3 Sessions This configuration parameter instructs the reader the session with which it should work. (see [2] and look for Sessions) 4 Target Specifies which tags in the population should participate in the inventory. (see [2] and look for QueryTarget)

Figure 26 Expert settings 2 tab The Default parameter set drop down menu allows configuration of the parameter set that is loaded from the EEPROM into the RAM when the RFID reader device boots up. The Copy parameter set section allows one parameter set to be copied into another. On successful completion of the copy operation, the Copy button is lid green and a corresponding message is displayed in the status window, otherwise the Copy button glows red. The Change reader parameter section allows reader settings to be read or changed using their respective configuration IDs. After selection of the parameter ID, the corresponding value of the current parameter set of the reader device is read by clicking on Get parameter value and displayed in the field parameter value, optionally as a decimal (dec) or hexadecimal (hex) value. A value that has already been read can be converted to dec or hex by pressing the respective radio buttons. The Set parameter value button writes the value stated in the Parameter value field into the reader device. The two actions (read and set) are shown by the respective buttons glowing the respective color to indicate success and failure, and a message appears in the status window accordingly. In the Select settings area, filters can be set which are brought into effect by means of a “Select” command. This offers the facility to filter out certain tags, or to detect only tags with certain defined data in the respective memory banks. Up to 32 filters can be set in total. Successful reading of the values of the selected filter and successful writing of the filter values is indicated by the respective button glowing green

Otherwise the respective button glows red and a description of the error is given. The functionality Config Password offers the possibility to define a configuration password for the values displayed in the section Change Reader Parameter and thus offers an additional protection mechanism for readers installed in the field. 7.7 Test Gen2 functions This tab makes it possible to access individual functions of the reader. This includes, along with the functionality in accordance with the EPC-Gen2 standard, e. g.: read individual tags, describe tags, set and change passwords, and also select the antenna for the operation. The user interface consists of the sections Get all EPCs, Write EPC, Change password, Read/write data, Lock, Kill and the display window for EPCs that have been read. The sections that follow explain this functionality in more detail. Figure 27 The Test Gen2 functions menu tab Note: Additional information about the manufacturer and the chip type are displayed on the „i“ symbol. Left click on this icon, this information can be retrieved.

The reader now tries once again to read all the tags in the field of the selected antenna. If in the Antenna selection drop-down menu the number of antennas has been restricted, reading will now be performed using the currently selected antenna, or using the antenna selected with All in the Expert settings 1. The EPCs from the tags read successfully are displayed in the field below. For the following operations, a tag can be selected from this list by clicking on it. Write EPC The EPC of the tag can be modified. For this purpose an EPC in hexadecimal format must be entered in the New EPC field. Note: Comply with the maximum EPC length supported by the tag - if this is exceeded the tag will return an error. If the requirement is only to amend an existing tag, this tag can be loaded to the field by pressing the Apply selected EPC button. Now the EPC can be changed manually, or by using the Auto increment option  increased by one at each write event. The write event itself can optionally be executed on this tag by pressing the Write EPC to selected tag button. At this time there may be several tags in the field, but at least one tag from the list must be selected. The second option is to write the specified EPC without a tag being selected. When using this function, make sure there is just one single tag in the field. Change password The EPC standard specifies that the tag should have two modes, the open and the secured state. In the open state, operations can be performed on the tag if the associated memory areas are not secured with a password greater than 0. If a password has been set and the Lock section (bottom of the Test Gen2 functions tab) of the GUI has been used to set the memory areas to password protected, the desired operation will not be executed and the tag will report an access error. Normal access remains available in areas that are not blocked. On access with the valid password, the tag switches into the secured state and access is available even in blocked areas. Setting the password and setting how individual areas are blocked is performed under the Change password and Lock section of the SW. Under the first section the password for restricting access to the tag and the password for deactivation of the tag are set. The access password can be used to restrict access to the tag in the open state. Depending on the configuration under the Lock section, parts of the tag can be provided with completely or partially restricted access rights. The deactivation password is required to deactivate the tag permanently by means of a Kill command.
Kapsch TrafficCom AG Page 56 of 58 Installation Manual | SRU-8100 RFID Reader 18000-63Doc No. 47000001169 | Version 01 | 2014-11-03 | released 47000001169-Ins-01 Note: After a Kill tag command, the tag will be unusable. To change the password, the current password must be given. If no password has yet been set, the default value is 0. The new password is entered in the field of the same name, in hexadecimal format. Clicking on the Set password on selected tag button replaces the old password with the new password. The deactivation password is entered in the field of the same name by clicking on the associated button. If the password is changed and the memory area in question is already protected by the access password, in addition to the new password the access password must be entered in the Current password field. Read / write data This section offers detailed access to all the data areas of the tag. Access is obtained by entering the selected memory bank, the address within the memory bank and the number of words, expressed as 16-bit words. If data are to be written, it must be entered in the Data to write field. The data mask allows only individual bits on the tag to be changed. To do this, the mask must be entered in the Data mask field. The reader uses this mask to change the data read from the tag at the points where 1 bits are written in the mask, and writes the result back into the tag. The desired data can optionally be written to a single tag in the field or to all tags in the field. If it is written to every tag in the field, these tags must all have the same configuration (lock and password). This GUI section also offers the possibility to read data from the selected tag or from all tags in the field. If the tags in the field have differing passwords and are configured differently, the data must be read by individual tags. The next section deals in more detail with the saving of the individual memory areas. Lock The EPC Gen 2 standard provides security mechanisms for the tag data areas. This allows individual memory areas and functionalities of the tags being secured with a password to protect it against access and/or changes. Under the Lock section the mask that specifies access to the areas in accordance with the EPC Gen 2 standard can be customized to suit the application. If no changes are required for an area, No change must be selected in the respective drop-down menu. The areas are grouped as follows: No. Parameter Function 1 Kill password Specifies whether or not a Kill password is necessary for deactivating the Tag. See EPCglobal Class-1 Gen-2 standard for details. 2 Access password Specifies whether an access password is necessary for accessing a tag. If no access password is set, the Tag can be addressed in the open state condition. Further details can be found in the EPC global standard. 3 EPC memory bank password Allows specification of whether or not the access password is necessary for changing the EPC. 4 TID memory bank password This area contains general information about the tag. This area can also be protected against user access by setting the access password.

The respective items in the drop-down menu are divided into access blocks, which prevent reading and writing, and write blocks. Clicking on the Lock selected tag button loads the mask that was created to the list of the selected tag. Alternatively all the tags in the field can be blocked, on the precondition that the tags all have the same password. Note: Wrongly configuring the Lock section can render the tag unusable. Kill Pressing the Kill selected tag button, with the stated password, executes a Kill command on this tag. The Kill all tags button, with the stated password, attempts to execute a Kill command on all the tag in the field. Note: For the deactivation of a tag, a deactivation password that is not 0 must have been set. Note: After a Kill tag command, the tag will be unusable. 7.8 © KRAI-Settings The KTC RFID reader is able to control antennas from the manufacturer Kathrein by using their proprietary communication interface ©KRAI. Those Kathrein antennas are not included in the product portfolio of KTC and thus in combination with the KTC RFID reader device there is no active support given by KTC when using KRAI antennas. 7.9 App Manager The AppManager manages applications that are directly run on the reader. Please ask KTC for possibilities with respect to customized applications. The application can be uploaded to the reader device by using the Install app function on the GUI. For this purpose the application structure has to be available in *.tar format. Using the Reader Start software the applications can then be managed using the tab AppManager (Get, Install, Start, Stop, Uninstall, Start app at boot time). For the configuration options of the respective KTC specific applications please refer to the application specific configuration manuals.
