1 INTRODUCTION
The uPASS Access reader offers a revolutionary and enduring solution for hands-free door access. The uPASS
Access has the dimensions of a conventionally access control reader but offers read range unmatched in the
industry. The uPASS Access offers identification up to 2 meter (6 feet) using the latest UHF technology.
The uPASS Access includes a RS485 interface, a wiegand/magstripe and a RF-modulation interface.
The uPASS Access can also be connected to NEDAP AEOS access control hardware such as the AP1001, using the
RF-modulation interface.
The uPASS Access does not offer the TRANSIT compatibility features.
The uPASS Access is equipped with a fixed shielded cable pigtail, 12 x 0.14 mm2
In the case of extending this pigtail cable, ONLY shielded cables shall be used and all shields shall be connected
to the metal case of the external device(s).
, length 5 meter (15 feet). The
cable shield shall be connected to the metal case of the external device or external devices.
1.1 SUPPORTED TAGS
Any EPC Class 1 Gen 2 tag is supported by the uPASS Access.
NEDAP formatted UHF tags can have the following formats:
• NEDAP UHF wiegand tags
These tags will contain all wiegand information including facility code and parity bits. All wiegand formats
can be supported. The reader transparently sends this information via the wiegand outputs. There is no
need to change any DIP-switches or configuration settings. See chapter 3.2.3 for wiring details.
Note: The Wiegand output format is determined by the tag and not by the reader.
• NEDAP UHF magstripe tags
These tags will contain all magstripe information. The reader transparently sends this information onto the
magstripe interface. There is no need to change any DIP-switches or configuration settings. See chapter
3.2.3 for wiring details.
Note: The magstripe output format is determined by the tag and not by the reader.
• NEDAP UHF XS tag
These tags are especially programmed in the same format as our 2.45GHz AVI tags (Compact-Tag, Window-
Button and Heavy-Duty-Tag). The tags will also have a customer-code and id-number. The reader will
modulate the tag-info onto the Nedap antenna interface output, which can be connected to NEDAP AEOS
access control hardware such as the AP1001.
Note: See also the 'decode nedap xs' feature as described in chapter 5.2.2.

1.2 TAG SECURITY
EPC (Electronic Product Code) tags were introduced as a possible successor to the barcode with added
functionalities. The tag emits its EPC in plain text. This makes the tags vulnerable to cloning and counterfeiting
attacks. Unlike many 13MHz smartcards, EPC tags do not support any DES, 3DES or AES encryption.
EPC tags contain a data field known as the Tag Identifier (TID). At the discretion of the EPC manufacturer, the
value may be factory programmed and locked, ensuring that tags have a unique identity and (theoretically)
cannot be cross-copied. This TID based anti-cloning mechanism is not considered to be a strong protection.
NEDAP UHF tags support a locked serialized TID and the uPASS Access reader can be configured to read the TID
data field.
In addition NEDAP has also implemented an advanced anti-cloning and anti-counterfeiting method based upon
a two way authentication. This feature is supported in combination with all NEDAP UHF tags.
By default the uPASS Access reader is configured to read any EPC tag.
We encourage customers to enable the TID-check or the two way authentication. But also advise not to
completely rely on these methods in high-security applications.

4 UHF FREQUENCIES
4.1 RADIO REGULATIONS
The uPASS Access reader operates on the 860 – 960 MHz band. Regulations in this band are not standardized
world-wide. Generally the regulations can be divided into several regions.
Per region a specific frequency band is available. This frequency band is divided into frequency channels. If local
radio regulations require frequency hopping (FHSS), then the uPASS Access automatically selects and uses the
available channels.
Region Technique Frequency Channels
Europe 865.6 - 867.6 MHz 4
Americas FHSS 902.7 - 927.2 MHz 52
Brazil
FHSS
915.5 - 927.5 MHz

China FHSS 920.5 - 924.5 MHz 20
Australia FHSS 920.7 - 925.2 MHz 12
Israel 915.0 - 917.0 MHz 4
Korea FHSS 917.7 - 920.1 MHz 5
New Zealand FHSS 917.7 - 920.1 MHz 8
Japan 917.3 - 920.3 MHz 6
Malaysia 919.8 - 922.2 MHz 5
Taiwan FHSS 922.6 - 927.4 MHz 9
Vietnam 920.7 - 924.3 MHz 7
Table 1: Region specific parameters
4.2 FREQUENCY CHANNEL SELECTION
If no frequency hopping is required, you should select an available frequency channel manually. This can be
realized as described below. Select an available frequency channel to achieve the best performance and to avoid
interference from other readers or equipment.

5 READER CONFIGURATION
The uPASS reader settings can be configured easily using the UHFTOOL software. Software developers can find
the communication protocol description in the firmware manual.
5.1 UHFTOOL SOFTWARE
Figure 5: UHFTOOL software
5.2 SETTINGS
Click 'View', 'Show config sidebar' or press F11 to show the configuration sidebar. In the sidebar the
configuration categories are shown. Expand or collapse the setting panels by clicking on it.
5.2.1 READ DATA
Configure here which tags should be selected, how to access these tags, what data should be read from these
tags and if a security check should be performed.
By default the reader is configured to select ANY TAG and read its EPC number.
Select NEDAP to read only Nedap tags.
NEDAP DUAL-ID (introduced in firmware version 2.29) enables the uPASS to search for Nedap vehicle-id tags.
When a vehicle-id tag is found, the uPASS searches for driver-id tags.
Example 1: Read only NEDAP UHF tags and use two way authentication:
Figure 6: Read data example 1

Example 2: Read only NXP UCODE tags (TID starts with E2006) and read 4 words from user memory.
Figure 7: Read data example 2
5.2.2 DECODE NEDAP XS
Enable decode Nedap XS formatted tags. Introduced in firmware version 2.54.
Figure 8: Output settings
By default the data on NEDAP XS formatted tags will be transmitted to the TRANSIT compatible processor or the
the NEDAP antenna modulation interface. In this case the UPASS will not perform any decoding.
Enable decode Nedap XS when you do not want to use the TRANSIT compatible processor or the antenna
modulation interface. The UPASS will decode the NEDAP XS tag data and output its plain tag-number. You can
also enable to output or verify the customer code.
The decoded NEDAP XS output number contains:
Byte 1: 4E NEDAP UHF
Byte 2: <FMT> FMT=01: Nedap XS decoded hex tagno
FMT=02: Nedap XS decoded decimal tagno.
Byte 3-4: 00 Unused
Byte 5-7: CC CC=Customer code (zero if not transmitted)
Byte 8-12: TAGNO TAGNO=Tag number
Examples:
NEDAP UHF XS: Output: 4E10 3FFF C415 A87C BD51 8000
NEDAP UHF XS decoded: Output: 4E01 0000 0000 0000 0000 3039

5.2.3 RELAY / TIMING
Configure relay output and timing parameters.
Figure 9: Relay / timing settings
Enable 'Automatic relay activation' to activate the relay upon identification. When disabled the relay can only be
activated manually.
The 'Relay hold time' setting is the minimum time the relay is activated.
The 'Vehicle hold time' setting is the time, after a vehicle-id tags has been found, for which the reader will search
for driver-id tags. This setting is only used in the NEDAP DUAL-ID mode. Introduced in firmware version 2.29.
The (random) RF off time parameter can be used to enable time sharing between multiple readers on the same
frequency.
5.2.4 LED CONTROL
Only for UPASS ACCESS: setup LED control mode.
Automatic mode:
Default the uPASS Access will automatically control the LED.
During stand-by the LED will be BLUE and upon identification it will be GREEN. These colors can be changed!
Figure 10: LED control
Remote control:
The LED can be controlled remotely by a connected access control system. Digital inputs will determine the
color indicated on the LED.

5.3 EXPERT SETTINGS
Click 'Options', 'Usermode', 'Expert' to show additional configuration settings for advanced users.
5.3.1 OUTPUT
Configure communication output settings.
Figure 11: Output settings
Select 'Enable serial id-events' to enable the serial output upon identification. Only disable the serial id-events to
optimize the identification speed when using the wiegand or magstripe interface or the TRANSIT compatible
processor.
When 'Fast repeat serial id-events' is selected (default) the serial output is repeated upon every identification.
When this option is disabled, the message is only sent once.
Enable 'Repeat using hold-time interval' to repeat id-events with hold-time interval. The repeating will be
enabled for the serial and also for the wiegand or magstripe interface.
'Enable vehicle id-events' allows enabling or disabling the id-event messages for vehicle-ids. This may be useful
in combination with the NEDAP DUAL-ID mode and an access control panel that does not support the dual-id
feature.
5.3.2 OUTPUT MESSAGE FORMAT
Configure output message format.
Figure 12: Output message format
The output message format is configurable:
<prefix> [<tagstatus>] [<epclen>] [<epc>] [<datlen>] [<data>] <suffix> [ CR/LF ]

5.3.4 FREQUENCY
Here is shown the reader's operating frequency region.
Only for systems that do not use frequency hopping (e.g. in Europe):
You can select a frequency channel within the available frequency band.
Figure 15: Frequency
5.3.5 READ RANGE
Enable the squelch to reduce the read range. This is useful to optimize lane separation.
When the squelch is enabled, you can set the squelch level. This level ensures that only tags with a returned
signal strength higher then the squelch level are identified.
When the squelch is enabled and the returned signal strength is lower then the squelch level, the SQ-ACT LED
indicates that the tag is rejected.
