Instruction of NFC-4311
NFC-4311 is one of 433MHz RFID series that we independently developed. With contactless, free from
environment impact, long reading distance, excellent anti-collision etc, NFC-4311 reader is applied to various field.
Currently NFC-4311 has widely applied to logistics and warehouse intelligent management, transportation intelligent
management and school management, luggage parcel management, docks container management ant personnel
positioning system etc.
1. Overview
NFC-4311 is 433MHz RFID reader with integrity structure and full-function. It includes RF Module、central
control unit, input/output ports, Ethernet module, serial communication interface, non-volatile memory modules and
working status indication module etc.
NFC-4311 support NFC company protocol. To meet the requirement about protocol and function expanding, and
protect user’s investment, the reader can be upgraded with our upgrade software conveniently.

2. Product features
l Small in size and easy to install
l Long communication distance and high receiving sensitivity. The reading distance is 0-100m when
connecting 2 dBi omni-directional antenna outside.
l Excellent anti-collision performance, up to 500 tags read simultaneously;
l Communication interface: There are 6 kinds of conventional communication interface, such as RS-232,
RS-485, Wiegand26/34/42/50, USB, CAN and Ethernet. Other interfaces can also be customized for user’s
demand, such as GPRS, Bluetooth, 3G and WIFI etc.;
l Led indicator and buzzer with esthetic intuition design;
l NFC company protocol, which also can be customized and extended other protocol for user’s demand;
l More optional function can be customized to meet customers’ requirement;
l Compatible with other tag protocol, and also enhance the price-quality ratio on system applications;

l Protocol specific optimization: NFC-4311 can be optimized for protocol of other manufacturer or for a
specific protocol, making it possible to enhance the price-quality ratio on close-loop system applications;
l Off-line function: Reader is designed with nonvolatile memory for storage of tag data, when the
communication is failed between reader and application system, the identified tag ID can be stored into reader
to ensure the stable work;
l ID matching function: NFC-4311 reader has built-in nonvolatile memory. In a close-loop application system,
user can store the required tag data in the nonvolatile memory in advance, when reader identify tags, it will
compare the tag data with the stored tag, and then perform the action which predefined by reader or designed
by user;
l Input/Output function: The reader is designed with 1 trigger input, it will identify tags in accordance with
external trigger commands, so as to meet green energy requirements and reduces energy consumption. It’s
also designed with 2 relay outputs;
l Time function: Reader comes with a built-in real time clock, which can set up and read reader time. It also
supports time-stamp function under off-line working mode to meet precisely user’s application design for
time;
l RSSI function: NFC-4311 supports RSSI function, it can detect signal strength so as to realize positioning
function;
l Data security: Provide three kinds of encryption method, including AES encryption, link layer encryption and
random number encrypted, to ensure the security of data transmission;
l Anti-interference function: Reader adopts channel isolation technique assures non-interference among
different equipments;
l Tag reading/writing function: Tag reading/writing function can be realized;
l Upgrade function: NFC-4311 reader supports the firmware online upgrade function to optimize the
performance.
