The environment must not contain corrosive, flammable or explosive agents and conductive dust or be subject to rapid changes in temperature, direct vibration or shock. ! WARNING Do not operate this Reader in an environment which contains flammable or explosives gases or fumes. Magellan’s RFID reader-writers communicate with data carriers (RFID inlets, labels and tags) using the 13.56 MHz High Frequency (HF) band. Some industrial devices can generate unwanted noise which may degrade communication. Make sure that other equipment is properly installed, grounded and are at a reasonable distance. Wireless communication can be degraded by high-voltage and high-current lines and other sources of strong electric and magnetic fields. Installation in such locations should be avoided. In order to avoid electric shock do not remove the Reader cover or attempt to repair. Magellan’s reader-writers are to be maintained by authorised, qualified and service-trained personnel only. 3.2.2 Removal of the Reader cover by unauthorised personnel will void the product warranty. Recommended System Requirements Recommended minimum host computer requirements: Operating System: Memory: Hard Drive: CPU: Interface: MDR-1109 USER MANUAL Windows XP 128MB RAM 20 GB Intel Celeron 500 USB or Ethernet 10 60-70-002-DOC ver.1 3.2.3 Working with Tags Do not stack ItemTags on top of each other. Only StackTags can be stacked, overlapped or touch each other. Single-axis Readers are tag orientation sensitive. Refer to Tag-to-Reader/Tag-to-Antenna section of this document. Reading and writing speeds depend on readertag 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 Magellan or your support organisation regarding these issues for your specific application. Be aware that tags and Readers can be incompatible with each other. Bigger tags can work with all types of Readers. Smaller tags require higher field strengths to communicate with a Reader and as a result they do not communicate with some Readers or have to be closer to a Reader antenna. Refer to the ReaderTag Compatibility section of this document. 3.2.4 Installation Requirements MDR-1109 is a stand-alone peripheral desktop device that does not require special installation or tuning of an internal antenna.

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 can not 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. Click the Connection menu item to view Readers found on the local network. ReaderManager will use network broadcasts to look for active readers via USB and Ethernet. If you click on the Connection menu, you can see readers defined in there automatically. A list of Readers will be displayed as shown below. The IP address and MAC address will be shown on the status bar as you move the mouse over each Reader entry. MDR-1109 USER MANUAL 18 60-70-002-DOC ver.1 Automatically detected Reader list Status bar with IP address Step 3. To connect to a Reader, from the Connection menu select the Reader you would like to connect to, then click the left mouse button. The status bar will change from a red to a green background to indicate that the ReaderManager was able to connect to a Reader. The tag type and IP address are also shown on the status bar. To setup static connections to readers refer to the ReaderManager User Manual (40-01-006-DOC). MDR-1109 USER MANUAL 19 60-70-002-DOC ver.1 3.4.3 Communication Test From the Tools menu, select System then Grid of tags sight count. Check some default Tools>System>Reader Settings: settings in Tag Type. Default is IFX_STACK. If you use ItemTags the default should be changed to IFX_ITEM. The Powering Field box should be ticked. Tag Reply Mode: For 8 channel Readers, the default is: CommandReplyChannelHopping7_8muted CommandReplyChannel Hopping Unmuted For 2 channel Readers, the default is: CommandReplyChannelHoppin3_4muted CommandReplyChannelHoppingUnmuted FixedReplyChannel(G) Refer to ReaderManager User Manual (40-01-006DOC) and Programmer Guide (40-01-000-DOC) for a description of the various tools and advanced options available. Using one of the test tags supplied with the Reader, place the tag on the Reader antenna. The first square in the grid should turn from white to blue and display the tag’s ID number and the number of times the tag was sighted (should be one). An example of this is shown below. MDR-1109 USER MANUAL 20 60-70-002-DOC ver.1 3.4.4 Changing the Reader’s Network Setup Ensure the Reader is connected as described above. From the Tools menu, select System then Configuration System.

To change the Reader’s network settings, click the Network Configuration tab. MDR-1109 USER MANUAL 21 60-70-002-DOC ver.1 If the Reader is to be assigned an IP address from a DHCP server click the Obtain an IP address automatically check box. To assign a static IP address, uncheck the check box and enter the IP address in the IP address text box. The box will turn red if the IP address is not valid. Care should be taken not to duplicate IP addresses on your network. If you are unsure what IP address to use consult your systems administrator. Enter the network Subnet mask and Default gateway addresses in the text boxes provided. Click the Save button to save these changes to the Reader, or click the Refresh button to restore the last saved values. Restart the Reader for these changes to take effect. MDR-1109 USER MANUAL 22 60-70-002-DOC ver.1 Here is a general guide to the way reader network address assignment works: The Ethernet interface is either served an IP address via DHCP or is assigned a static IP address by the user. If the reader is set to use a DHCP assigned address and no DHCP server is available it will automatically use a link local address of 169.254.0.0/16. The reader must be powered up with the Ethernet connected to get a DHCP assigned IP address. These are the networking rules: USB will always choose a subnet different to Ethernet. Both interfaces will try to obtain the 169.254.0.0 range, but Ethernet has priority. 172.16.0.0/16 is USB's fallover subnet if Ethernet has already taken it by either: DHCP, fixed, or link-local IP acquisition. MDR-1109 USER MANUAL 23 60-70-002-DOC ver.1 4. Reporting a Problem If you are having a problem with a Magellan Reader, you will need to send a report to your support organisation. To make the diagnosis quicker and easier, please supply your problem report on a Service Form along with the following information: What kind of tags are you using and how many are you putting inside the Reader at one time?
