MDR-3021AT USER MANUAL 10 79-00-001-DOC 3.2.2 Working with Tags Single-axis Readers are tag orientation sensitive. Reading and writing speeds depend on reader-tag communication speeds and channel numbers (communication protocol), amount of information to be read and/or written and number of tags presented at a time. The additional number of tags and information to be read and especially written slow down read-write communication. Please consult Sato Vicinity or your support organisation regarding these issues for your specific application. Please note that tags and Readers can be incompatible with each other. Bigger tags can typically work with all types of Readers. Smaller tags require higher field strengths to communicate with a Reader and as a result they may not communicate with some Readers or have to be closer to a Reader antenna to function. Please consult Sato Vicinity or your support organisation regarding these issues for your specific application. 3.2.3 Installation Requirements The MDR-3021AT is a stand-alone peripheral desktop device that does not require special installation or tuning of an internal antenna. Power supply requirements: Mains input: 110 - 240 VAC @ 50/60 Hz Low voltage input (MDR-3021AT): 12 VDC @ 2.5A 3.2.4 Tag to Reader Orientation As the MDR-3021AT is a single axis reader the RFID tags should always be presented facing the Reader surface to ensure optimum performance. Although the tags may still work at some angle depending upon the distance between the tag and the Reader & the type of tag used this is not how the MDR-3021AT reader was designed to work. Correct Tag Orientation

So all the usual services, such as telnet and FTP are available. Step 1. Ensure the reader is switched on with the communication cable connected When a Reader is connected to a network for the first time using either an Ethernet cable or c o n n e c t e d t o a host computer using a USB cable, the Reader is identified by its Model Name-Serial Number (recommended to keep the serial number as a reference).
MDR-3021AT USER MANUAL 17 79-00-001-DOC Customers can replace or add additional information to the Model Name-Serial Number such as a physical location or customer ID number. Refer to section 3.4.4 Changing the Reader’s System Configuration of this User Manual. Subsequently when a customer re-starts the Reader the new name will appear on the list of readers in the Connection menu. Tip: If you want to use the new name immediately, simply switch the reader off then on again to view the new name on the Connection menu list. When a Reader is connected to a host computer for the first time using a USB cable, the drivers should automatically load, if they do not (Perhaps due to an older Windows OS) the Found New Hardware Wizard will appear, perform the following steps. 1. In Found New Hardware Wizard tick “Yes”, this time only to search for software and press “Next”. 2. In What do you want wizard to do? tick “Install” the software automatically and press “Next”. 3. Wait while the wizard installs the software: Linux USB Ethernet/RNDIS Gadget. Ignore other message and press “Continue anyway”. 4. Press “Finish”. 5. Open the Connection menu to see a list of Readers and the new Reader identified by Model Name-Serial Number on the list. 6. If you cannot find the new Reader on the list simply unplug the USB cable and plug it again into the Reader USB device port. This time you should be able to see the Reader’s Model Name-Serial Number. Step 2. Start Reader Manager to view Readers found on the LAN Reader Manager will use network broadcasts to look for active readers via USB and Ethernet. All readers found on the LAN will be listed in the Dynamic Reader List as shown in the image below. Dynamic Reader List in Reader Manager
MDR-3021AT USER MANUAL 18 79-00-001-DOC Step 3. Connecting to the desired Reader from the Dynamic Reader List Locate the desired reader in the Dynamic Reader List & move your mouse pointer over any field of the reader & double click your left mouse button. You will notice that the green status bubble to the left of the reader turns into a green arrow & the IP address of the reader will be displayed in the bottom right corner of the Reader Manager window.

MDR-3021AT USER MANUAL 19 79-00-001-DOC The Grid of tags will now be visible in the right panel of the Reader Manager window as shown in the image below Reader Manager with Tag Sightings window open Place a tag on the Reader. The first square in the grid should change from white to blue and display the tag’s ID number and the number of times the tag was sighted, should be one (1). An example of this is shown below. The Addition of more tags will cause more squares to progressively populate with the tag’s ID number and the number of times the tag was sighted. Removing a tag will cause the tag to “Expire” turning the relevant square on the grid to turn dark grey (the data will be preserved). Placing the same tag back on the reader will cause the relevant square to change from grey back to blue & the tag count to increment to two (2), with each successive tag removal & replacement the count will increment by one (1). This simple test has confirmed the Reader & LAN/USB connection is working. Tag Sightings window showing 1 tag on the reader
