Chapter1 Short Introduction
1.1 The appearance
1.2 Introduction
MR30 is a 2.4GHz bi-directional antenna reader, it can write data to tag and meanwhile receive the data from
tag. Both of the antenna are omni-directional, one is for RX and the other is for TX, so it can receive the signal
from every direction. It supports TCP/IP and RS232 connection and very convenience for users to use. Mainly
used in personal management or register system, etc. It can be matched with 2.4GHz tag that we supply to use.
1.3 The application
MR30 reader always applies in the omni-directional identify system which need a wide passing channel, long
range reading, fast identify, multi-tag identify, person‟s tracking and location field.
● Access management: open door control access management system, such as smart living district, car parking
system, freeway ETC system, sea port and customs safety-inspection system.
●Personnel management: attendance administration management, conference signature system, student safety
SMS system and even security patrol system.
●Goods management: warehouse goods management, data connection, moving goods monitor system, sea port
goods automatically identify, registration management .etc
●prevent accident system: coal mine personnel management, manage the works and to avoid the big accident,
anti-stolen management system.
●public traffic system: city traffic smart platform and car monitor
●Manufacture management: product workshop procedure management, monitor the production procedure
●Transportation management: road, railway management and the transportation flow, monitor and tracking of
Container.
1.4 MR30 reader main function
●Write data to tag and receive data from tag, so called read & write reader.
●The communication between reader and tag is one-to-one, one tag marks one person or goods, tag ID is unique.
●Matched with MR3820A tag (read & write) to use, this reader can wake up MR3820A tag, after woken up, tag
will send its ID to reader and then reader will transfer the tag ID to PC for users to observe. Reader will know a
general position of the tag.
●Location: the reader can identify the tag within a circle (minimum radius is 3m and max is 80m), and the signal
sent from reader is omni-directional.

Chapter2 MR30 reader full function demo
We supply 2.45GDemo.exe program to show the readers function;
Open this software, this software support Chinese and English access, here we choose English to enter the
software.
Show the main operation interface:
2.1 Connect reader
First make sure to connect the TX and RX antennas.
This reader supply Ethernet port and serial port for communication and transferring the data, we supply demo
software to show the reader‟s full function.
Filter the repeated tag ID
Counting the tag ID
Continuous tag read display
IP Address parameter set
Com connection: If you use com port to connect the reader with PC, select the right com port and a proper
communication baudrate (from 9600bps to 115200bps supportable), then click connect.
Ethernet connection: If you use RJ45 to establish the connection, fill the reader‟s IP address and port No in the
software, then click connect. Here you can connect it to PC via a switch. Pay attention to the reader‟s IP address
and the PC „s IP should be stayed in the same network segment.
Via the demo software you can query the reader’s IP and the set a new IP for reader.
Click “Search IP” to query the pre-configured IP address, see following:
This reader support com port configure the IP address, after configure success, you should reset the reader, then
the IP address can be valid to use.
Ethernet connection
Ethernet connection success, see following:
Com connect success
Identify tags via Ethernet port
Connect success indication
Start or stop tag identify
Clear information bar
2.2 Reset reader
If an abnormal operation to reader, you can reset reader by click the “Reset ” button
2.3 Multi-tag Identify
Click “Identify ”button will start the reader to read tags:
Total tags
Filter the repeated tag list
2.4 Configure the tag’s sending time interval and sending
power
Configure tag parameter is only valid to Read&Write tags(passive), Readonly(Active) tag can not be configured
“Tag” bar: fill the original tag ID, Click “Search” will show the current parameters
Setting Tag‟s sending time interval: Select a proper time you need
Setting tag‟s sending power: Select a proper power
Send mode: Readonly or Read&Write
Note:Here you should pay attention to it ,if the tag is changed to be a Readonly tag, means it
will be change to an active tag, then you can not configure the parameters any more
Fill the original ID in the “Tag” bar, then select a time interval and a sending power, time interval means every 1s
or 2s the tag send a signal to reader, Power means the tags antenna‟s sending power, it can adjust the tags and
reader‟s identify range, then Click “Set”, if success it will return a success information.

Read data indication
2.6 Tag working mode instruction
Passive tag-----It can be read and written, even configure the tags parameters as well.
Active tag-----It can not be read and written data, and can not be configured.
The indentify result will distinguish the active and passive tag, see following, if Data begin with 11 01 , it is an
active tag, meanwhile the beginning tag is 01 00, it is a passive tag.

Chapter 3 MR30 reader application system
3.1 System structure
RX: Receive the data from tag
TX: Wake up the passive tag
Include：passive tag, MR30 reader, PC, switch
3.2 Working process instruction
Here we use MR30 reader and MR3820A tags in this system. At normal status, the Tag is in sleep mode, after
the reader works, the TX antenna will send a signal to wake up the passive tag, the waken up tag will send its ID
to reader automatically, reader will process the data and via Ethernet or Serial port transfer it to PC, if many
readers are using in this system, user can use a switch to establish a VLAN so that it can transfer the information,
at PC side we supply a demo software to observe the tag data.
Reader will identify the tags within the reader‟s antenna range, so in this way, tag can locate a person or goods.
And also it can be used to register persons.
See the following information: No is the total number of the tags, Loc is the reader‟s address, Count is the
times of the tag being identified.
Chapter 4 Second development
