Install Magellan’s readers within the temperature and humidity range according to the product specication. For standard readers the temperature range is from +10°C to +45°C. The humidity range is from 10% to 80% (non-condensing humidity).The environment must not contain corrosive, ammable or explosive agents or be subject to rapid changes in temperature, to direct vibration or shock.InstallationMagellan’s  RFID  reader-writers  communicate  with  data  carriers (RFID  inlets,  labels  and  tags)  using  the 13.56  MHz  High  Frequency  (HF)  band.  Some  industrial  machines  and  electronic  devices  can  generate unwanted noise which may degrade communication. Make sure that other equipment is properly installed, grounded and at a reasonable distance from the reader and/or reader antennas.Wireless communication can be degraded by high-voltage and high-current lines and other sources of strong electric and magnetic elds. Installation in such locations should be avoided. ••••

As most network devices they should be handled by well trained network administrators.The tunnel provides an Ethernet and USB device interface to allow for user connection. Before you open the ReaderManager and connect to a reader using the ReaderManager you must obtain an Ethernet IP address if you are using a normal Ethernet cable or an Ethernet cross over cable or acquire a USB IP address if you are using the USB cable.

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. By default, the Readers  are  set  to  Obtain  an  IP  address  automatically,  which  means  they  look  for a DHCP server. If one isn’t present, for example when a crossover cable is used to connect to a single PC, the Reader will choose a Link Local address.A link local address (also known as Automatic Private IP Addressing - APIPA) is one chosen at random in the range 169.254.0.1 to 169.254.255.254 with a netmask of 255.255.0.0. Windows PCs and most other computers by default will use the same system, which allows an ad-hoc network of computers and Readers to automatically pick unique addresses. This can work for a crossover cable between a single Reader and a computer or a more complex setup involving multiple Readers and multiple PCs using a normal Ethernet cable and Ethernet hub/switch.This system is very good to use because it requires no expertise or intervention from users.The below process has been discussing automatic address negotiation only.In order to successfully connect a Reader via a crossover cable follow these steps:Step 1:   In Windows, open the Start -> Settings -> Control Panel -> Network Connections windowThe PC’s Ethernet connection should be marked as disconnectedStep 2:   Plug in the cross over cable. Turn the reader on. The user should instantly see the state of                   Ethernet change to Looking For An Address.This process may take up to a minute.Step 3:   Eventually it should go to the state Limited Or No Connectivity. In the desktop icon tray, the                Ethernet will be marked with a yellow triangle.This means that Windows was looking for a DHCP server, but was unable to nd one, so it used a Link Local address (169.254.X.X) instead. Even though it looks like an error, this is what we would expect to see.Step 4:   Left click on the Ethernet connection and look in the Details box on the bottom of the left hand side              panel of the Network Connections window. You should see the IP address in here.

Select the Properties menu option.In the properties window, look in the list of items for Internet Protocol (TCP/IP).Double click on this itemIn the Internet Properties window, click on the Alternate Conguration tabMake sure that the Automatic private IP address radio button is the selected one.If it is not, then select it and click OK.In  some  PCs  this  setting  could  be  on  a  manual  address,  which  would  prevent  Link  Local  addressing  from functioning.Note that older versions of Reader OS software used a different system. It is important that all Readers are upgraded to 2.03 or above in order to use this functionality.Step 5: Go to the section 4.4.34.4.2  getting An ip AddRess using usbThe USB interface uses TCP/IP networking over USB as the protocol. This allows you to connect to a reader as if it was a normal network. So all the usual services, such as telnet and FTP are available.Any device  hardware  when  it’s  rst  connected  to  a  PC  via  USB  requires  a  device  driver.  The  device  driver is provided by Microsoft (Windows XP SP2). No USB device drivers are available instantly. They have to be installed and require a certain amount of conguration. The driver must be installed on the PC before Windows can use the connection. The device driver requires a conguration le for the reader which is installed on the PC via the ReaderManager.When you install a new reader for the rst time it can take from 1 to 5 minutes to create a network connection before the ReaderManager is able to recognize a new reader.Since every reader has a unique serial number, Windows treats it as a new device and you will have to install the device driver again for each new reader that you connect to the same PC. Since the device driver les are already on the reader, Windows can search for the driver automatically. In order to connect to a reader via USB for the rst time follow the steps below:1.2.3.4.5.6.7.

You can open this window from  several places:  Start ->  Settings ->  Control Panel  -> Network Connections or My Computer -> Other Places -> My Network Places -> View Network Connections. Step 2:   Make sure that the USB and power cables are plugged in. Turn on the reader. The Found New      Hardware dialog box will be displayed.When a  reader is connected  to  a host  computer  for the rst  time using a  USB, there are  a few steps  to  go through before the ReaderManager is able to identify the new reader:In Found New Hardware Wizard tick Yes, this time only to search for software and press Next.In What do you want wizard to do? tick Install the software automatically and press Next.Wait while the wizard installs the Linux USB Ethernet/RNDIS Gadget device driver. Ignore other message and press Continue anyway.Press Finish.Step 3:   Wait until you see a new entry appears in the Network Connections list called “Linux USB Ethernet/Linux USB Ethernet/     RNDIS Gadget”. This is the reader.. This is the reader. If it says Acquiring IP address then you must wait until it says Connected.The reader’s network connection will say:Local Area Connection XConnectedLinux USB Ethernet/RNDIS GadgetOnce it says Connected in the Network Connections window (Windows XP SP2) you can go to Step 4.If it says Disabled or Broken, then click right and select Repair or Enable to try and x the connection.If this fails, disconnect the reader, reboot your PC and repeat from Step 1.The reader can disconnect in situations where it has been repeatedly plugged and unplugged before Windows has had a chance to properly and completely process the network connection. In this situation it is possible for the reader to appear on the network for about a minute before it is disconnected by the Windows networking system.The solution is:Unplug the reader.Wait for the reader’s network connection to be removed from the Network Connections window.Once the network connection has been removed:1.2.3.4.1.2.3.1.2.

As with the previous case:Unplug the reader.Wait for the network connection to be removed.Plug the reader into another USB port.Windows networking can take some time (a few minutes) to create the network connection if the reader has been rapidly plugged and unplugged. If the reader network device does not disappear within 5 minutes of being disconnected, reboot your PC as then there is a problem with Windows Networking or the USB port has locked up.You should NEVER power cycle a reader because you are having problems with your PC or with Windows. Power cycling can cause more problems with Windows and Windows networking.Most USB problems are usually caused by  Windows networking  delays and  Windows networking  problems. Frequent unplugging of the USB cable will create even more problems. Step 4:   Go to the section 4.4.3.4.4.3  getting A ReAdeR ConneCted using tHe ReAdeRmAnAgeRStep 1:   Open the ReaderManager. ReaderManager will automatically detect all readers on the local network. When a reader is connected for the rst time to a network using an Ethernet cable or a host computer using a USB cable, the reader is identied by its Model Name-Serial Number (recommended to keep).Users can replace or add additional information to the Model Name-Serial Number such as a physical location or customer ID number.Subsequently  when  a  user  starts  using  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 power cycle the reader to view the new name on the Connection menu list.1.2.3.1.2.3.

WORKING WITH TAGSDo not stack Magellan ItemTags on top of each other or allow them to touch or overlap. Only Magellan StackTags can be stacked, overlapped or allowed to touch each other.Single-axis antennas are tag orientation sensitive. Refer to the Tag-to-Reader/Tag-to-Antenna section of this document.Reading and writing speeds depend on reader-tag communication speeds, the number of receiver channels, the amount of information to be read and/or written and the number of tags presented at a the same time. The number of  tags  and the amount  of  information to be  read  and especially written,  slows  down the read-write communication speed. Please consult Magellan regarding these issues for your specic application.Be aware that tags and readers can be incompatible with each other.  Larger tags can work with all types of readers and antennas. Smaller tags require higher eld strengths and as a result they may not operate with some reader/antenna combinations or have to be closer to a reader antenna to operate. Refer to the Reader-Tag Compatibility section of this manual.Magellan StackTags delivered on a roll are always fully powered (ST normal power mode or 6000 mode). Fully or normal powered tags are ON all the time and reply to each reader command providing they are in the eld of the reader antenna.To reduce the risk of tag replies clashing and to increase anti-collision and stackability for some applications the tags can be recongured by end-users to a ¼ low power mode (ST ¼ normal power mode or 2000 mode). This means that tags in the ¼ low power mode are muted ¾ of the time and do not reply to the reader commands instantly.Tags can be recongured individually (one by one) or en masse (many at once). Before reconguring tags makeBefore reconguring tags make sure the ReaderManager software has been installed and upgraded to the latest version, the reader is running and the reader is Connected to the ReaderManager software. 5.1  HoW to ReConfiguRe tAgs individuAlly oR en mAsseIn the ReaderManager go to Tools -> System -> Console.
