XT Series Reader Manual
1 Introduction
Readers
XT Mini, XT-1, XT-5 and XT-5 ETC are RAIN RFID readers that are compliant with
EPC Gen 2 and ISO 18000-63. XT Mini and XT-1 has a single integrated antenna.
XT-5 has one integrated antenna and support for one external antenna. XT-5 ETC
supports up to four external antennas. The readers are tailored for automatic vehicle
identification applications such as parking, gated communities, and road tolls. As
such, the readers are designed for outdoor use and support a large number of
interfaces and protocols.
RAIN RFID readers operate in the 860-960 MHz UHF frequency range. To support
varying global regulations, the readers come in two versions: EU that operates in the
865-868 MHz range and US that operates in the 902-928 MHz range. Both versions
can be configured to work in multiple regions within the respective frequency band.
While XT Mini and XT-1 have fixed firmware, XT-5 and XT-5 ETC have a user-programmable Linux
system. See "XT-5 / XT-5 ETC Developers Manual" [1] for more information.
Tags
RAIN RFID tags are typically passive, which means that they are powered by the reader's electromagnetic
field instead of having a battery. TagMaster's XT readers support all RAIN RFID tags. Specifically, the
readers support the SecureMarkID® tags developed by TagMaster to ensure that each tag has a truly
unique identity that is difficult to clone.
SecureMarkID®
RAIN RFID was originally not developed for access control and therefore has a few weaknesses in these
applications. Even if all modern tags have a unique ID, this is often too long for existing access control
systems and tags cannot be bought with the IDs in sequence. User-programmed tags can often be cloned
by anybody with access to a RAIN RFID reader.
To address this issue, TagMaster has developed the SecureMarkID® format that uses an encryption
algorithm and non-writeable parts of the tags to create a unique 9-digit ID that works well with access
control systems, can be bought in sequence, and is difficult to clone. It is recommend to only use
SecureMarkID® tags with the reader.
2 Installation
Safety Instructions
The following safety instructions should be observed during installation, normal use, and service.
Installation and service should only be done by qualified personnel.
Shields of cables should be connected to safety ground.
The reader must be disconnected from all voltage sources before any installation or service work.
Capacitors inside the reader can hold their charge even if the equipment has been disconnected
from all voltage sources.
Do not modify any part of the product. Repair is to be performed by TagMaster only.
Where local regulations exist, these are to be followed. The safety information in this manual is a
supplement to local regulations. It is the responsibility of the local project manager to make certain
that local regulations are known and followed.

Reader and Tag Placement
Figure 1 shows some typical installations for the XT-1, XT-5 and XT-5 ETC readers:
A. Single lane parking entrance. The reader is directed to read windshield or headlight tags.
B. Multilane parking entrance. To minimize the risk for cross reads, the readers/antennas are mounted
above the cars and the cars are equipped with windshield or headlight tags.
C. Access control (at the gate) and vehicle identification (at the weighbridge). The trucks are equipped
with ISO card tags that are mounted in a holder on the windshield and read from the side.
D. Traffic control. Readers are used to enable a green wave for buses.
Figure 1 XT-1 installations
Figure 2 shows two installations with side-mounted readers.
A. XT Mini is optimal for parking access with moderate read range requirements.
B. A side-mounted XT-1 or XT-5 covers a wide road.
Figure 2 Side-mounted reader (A: XT Mini, B: XT-1/XT-5)

13-111 P11D, 2017-10-03
XT Series Reader Manual
The reader's radiation pattern or read lobe (the region where the reader can read tags) is shaped like a
balloon in front of the reader as shown in Figure 3. The maximum read range is obtained when the tag is at
the tip of the balloon. At or close to this point, the width of the balloon is very small, which means that the
tag has to be accurately positioned to be read. It is recommended to mount the reader such that the tag
can be read at the widest part of the balloon which is at around 60-70% of maximum read range. If
required, the maximum read range can be reduced as described in section 4.3.1.
The reader should be mounted such that there is free sight
between the reader and the tag. Radio waves from the reader
cannot pass through metal or objects containing water (such as
humans). Metallic objects close to the reader may cause
reflections that can significantly reduce the read range.
Figure 3 Reader radiation pattern
Different tags have different mounting requirements. ISO card tags
are generally optimized for free air and - if used in a car - should
be mounted in a card holder that creates an air gap between the
tag and the windshield. Windshield tags must be mounted on the
windshield for optimal performance. Typical tags do not work if
they are mounted on metal or objects containing water. Metallized
windshields may prevent tag reading as they block radio waves.
Most RAIN RFID tags have a donut shaped radiation pattern as shown in Figure 4. This means that the
tags can be read not only when the front side is facing the reader, but also when the backside or long
edges are facing the reader. If the tag is turned such that one of the short edges is facing the reader, the
read range drops rapidly.
If the reader is mounted beside the car, the tag should be mounted with the donut lying as shown in the left
part of Figure 4. Note that the tag can be mounted in the windshield and read when the long edge of the tag
is facing the reader. If the windshield is metallized, the tag can be mounted in the side window or on the
front of the B-pillar (with a suitable holder creating a distance from the metal). A side-mounted reader
together with a tag with a lying donut can be used to cover a wide road as shown in Figure 2 B.
If the reader is mounted above or in front of the car, the tag should be mounted with the donut standing as
shown in the right part of Figure 4. In a multilane installation (Figure 1 B) it is recommended to mount the
tags like this with the reader above the car to reduce the risk of cross reads. If the windshield is metallized,
a transparent tag can be mounted on the headlight.

Mounting Instructions
Mount the reader in a horizontal position with the cable glands down. Study the installation examples and
radiation patterns in section 2.2 to determine the optimal placement of readers and tags in your installation.
2.3.1 Universal Mounting Kit (UMK)
The UMK (TagMaster part. no. 193600) makes it easy to mount
the reader in a wide variety of positions and angles. The kit
contains all parts needed to mount the reader on a wall or a
pole. The kit is designed and suitable for outdoor use. See
separate datasheet [1] for more details in on installation.

Cable Connections
2.4.1 XT Mini
In XT Mini, cables should be connected through the two M16 cable glands. A cable tie should be used to
guide the wires when the lid is closed. Make sure to use cables with flexible wires. It is recommended to
use the left cable gland for Ethernet connections and the right cable gland for other connections. An
example with power, Ethernet and RS485 connections is shown in Figure 7.
Figure 7 XT Mini with power, Ethernet and RS485 connections
2.4.2 XT-1
In XT-1, cables should primarily be connected through the central M20 cable gland. This cable gland can
be used with one cable (Ø 6-12 mm) or two cables (Ø 2-6 mm) using the supplied insert. As an alternative,
one or more of the four M16 blind plugs can be replaced with cable glands. Use shielded flexible cables
with stranded wire. Ground the reader chassis using the grounding screw.

2.4.3 XT-5 / XT-5 ETC
With XT-5 and XT-5 ETC, Ethernet and power (PoE+) should normally be connected to the external RJ45
connector. On XT-5, the three M16 blind plugs can be replaced with cable glands if more connections are
needed. On XT-5 ETC, the external RJ45 connector can be replaced by a M20 cable gland for one or more
cables (the same type of cable gland that is used for XT-1).

All IP settings can be changed under Settings…/Interfaces…/Ethernet in the web interface. A reboot is
required to activate new settings.
For XT Mini and XT-1, the reader's default IP address and subnet mask can be found on a label on the
backside of the reader. The default address is on the format 10.x.x.x and the subnet mask is 255.0.0.0.
The XT-5 and XT-5 ETC readers are by default configured to get IP settings from a DHCP server. If no
DHCP server is available, these readers will auto-assign an IP address in the range 169.254.x.x/16.
For convenience, it is possible to force the reader to use a fixed IP address by setting SW_DIP/S101:3 to
ON before starting the reader. The IP address will then be 169.254.1.1 and the subnet mask 255.255.0.0. A
PC that is directly connected to a reader will usually get an IP address in this subnet automatically.
A reader discovery tool is available at ftp://partner:245ghz@ftp.tagmaster.com/Vigilant. This tool can find
readers on a local network even if their IP settings are completely incorrect. The readers can then be
restored to factory defaults and their IP settings can be configured. XT-5 and XT-5 ETC also support UPnP
and Bonjour (mDNS/DNS-SD). These protocols make the readers visible under Network in Windows
Explorer and under Bonjour in Apple Safari.

13-111 P11D, 2017-10-03
XT-1, XT-5 and XT-5 ETC have a built-in two-port Ethernet switch which enables chaining of readers.
Figure 11 Readers connected in a chain using the built-in Ethernet switch
The readers support ICMP echo request/reply (ping) to simplify network troubleshooting. By default,
ping beep is enabled which means that the reader beeps when it receives a ping packet. Ping beep can be
used to identify which reader that has a specific IP address or to determine if ping packets get lost on the
way to the reader or from the reader. Ping beep can be disabled using the web interface.
The reader can work as a TCP server and/or TCP client. As a client, the reader automatically connects to a
specified TCP server when it has data to send. The IP address and port of the server and the protocol to
use can be configured under Settings…/Interfaces…/Ethernet in the web interface. Supported protocols are
Push and TAGP. As a TCP server, the reader supports several protocols, including TAGP.
Wiegand/Magstripe
The readers have one or two Wiegand/Magstripe interfaces. XT Mini and XT-1 have one interface. XT-5 and
XT-5 ETC have two interfaces (A and B) that can be configured as a single interface using IF_DIP:7 if a card
load signal is needed. With dual interfaces, tag reads from different antennas are sent to different interfaces.
Tag reads from antenna 1 (the internal antenna in XT-5) are sent to interface A.

The Wiegand/Magstripe signals can be internally pulled up to 5 V with 1 kΩ resistors. Pull-ups are activated
using DIP switches S301:6-8 on XT Mini and XT-1 and IF_DIP:6 on XT-5 and XT-5 ETC.
All Wiegand/Magstripe settings are available under Settings…/Interfaces…/Wieg/Mag in the web interface.
It is possible to select a predefined format or define a custom format.
The most common predefined formats can be selected by setting SW_DIP/S101:5-8 as shown in the table
below. When any of these switches are in the ON position, the reader is also configured to report tags once
and only accept SecureMarkID tags.
The following formats can be selected by DIP switches:
D = Data from tag (bit for Wiegand/digit for Magstripe)
S = Value of Site code
E = Even parity bit, O = Odd parity bit, X = Bit included in parity calculation
B = Magstripe start character, F = Magstripe stop character, L = Magstripe LRC

The hardware supports 2-wire (IF_DIP/S301:1-2 ON) and 4-wire communication, half duplex and full duplex
as well as multi-drop. When using RS485 communication, correct termination of the interface should be
considered in order to handle transmission-line effects. The readers have a built-in option (IF_DIP/S301:3
ON) of 120 Ω termination on the receive side (to be used at each end of the RS485 chain), and an option
(IF_DIP/S301:4-5 ON) of 620 Ω bias on the receive side (to be used at one node in the RS485 chain). The
options using DIP switches are detailed in Figure 15 and also described in section 3.15.
With factory default settings, the reader should always be configured in 4-wire mode (IF_DIP/S301:1-2
OFF) since the TAGP protocol requires a full-duplex link. Other protocols require different settings.

Table 11 Input connection overview
The inputs are activated by a current flow and the input impedance is 1 kΩ. A schematic view of an input is
shown in Figure 16.
Figure 16 Input schematic
The first two inputs can be used to control the green and red LED from an external access control system
to indicate if access has been granted or denied. The third input can be used as a read enable/disable
input. This input can be connected to an external presence detector such as an inductive loop to make sure
that the reader only reads tags when a vehicle is present.
All inputs have a debounce filter that is enabled by default. When the debounce filter is enabled, short
pulses on the inputs are ignored. Pulses must be at least 20 ms to guarantee that they are detected. The
polarity of the inputs can be inverted to cope with signals that are active high or active low.
The read enable/disable input can be configured to work in different modes. "Read time" is used to specify
how long time reading should be enabled after it has been activated by the input. If read time is zero,
reading is enabled as long as the input is active. The "Abort after read" setting can be used to abort reading
after a single tag has been read (read time must be non-zero for this setting to have any effect). The
"Indicator" setting is used to specify the colour of the LED when reading is enabled.
All input settings are available under Settings…/Interfaces…/Inputs in the web interface.
Light and Sound
Reader antennas (built-in and external) have a bright multi-colour LED indicator. The LED indicator can
show when a tag has been read and if access has been granted or denied.
A built-in buzzer can give an audible indication when a tag has been read or settings have been changed.

4 Configuration
Web Interface
The readers have a web interface for configuration and maintenance. The web interface is designed and
tested to work with modern versions of Google Chrome and other web browsers.
Figure 18 Web interface with expanded menu
Connect to the web interface by entering the reader's IP address in the web browser's address bar.
For XT Mini and XT-1, the reader's default IP address and subnet mask can be found on a label on the
backside of the reader. The default address is on the format 10.x.x.x and the subnet mask is 255.0.0.0. The
XT-5 and XT-5 ETC readers are by default configured to get IP settings from a DHCP server. If no DHCP
server is available, these readers will auto-assign an IP address in the range 169.254.x.x/16.
For convenience it is possible to force the reader to use a fixed IP address by setting SW_DIP/S101:3 to
ON before starting the reader. The IP address will then be 169.254.1.1 and the subnet mask 255.255.0.0. A
PC that is directly connected to a reader will usually get an IP address in this subnet automatically.
If the PC does not have an IP address that is in the same subnet as the reader it is necessary to change
the PC's address. In Windows 7, this is done using "Network and Sharing Center" in "Control Panel". Click
on "Local Area Connection", "Properties", "TCP/IPv4", and "Properties". Select "Use the following IP
address" and fill in "IP address" and "Subnet mask".
Note that the web interface may look slightly different depending on the version of the firmware in the
reader. Up-to-date documentation is always available under "Documentation" in the web interface menu.

Region
To meet different radio regulations around the world, the reader can be configured to work in different
regions. Each reader model comes in two versions: EU and US. Each reader version supports a number of
regions as listed in the table below. Default values are shown in bold.
The region can be changed under Settings…/RF/EPC Gen 2 in the web interface.

Tag Reading
By default, the reader reads tags with maximum read range and outputs tag data in a way that is suitable
for most applications. If necessary, the tag reading process is highly configurable. Most settings controlling
tag reading are available under Settings…/RF/EPC Gen 2 in the web interface.
RAIN RFID readers manage tag populations using the three basic operations: select, inventory, and
access. The reader automatically performs all of these when the "Carrier" setting is on. The tag reading
process is show in Figure 20 and described in the following sections.

4.3.1 Carrier and Read Level
The "Carrier" setting is used to enable/disable reading. When Carrier is on (default) the reader reads tags.
The "Read level" setting controls the read range. The default value 100 corresponds to maximum read
range.
4.3.2 EPC Select
The "EPC select" setting defines which tags the reader will talk to. Selection is done by specifying a binary
value and a part of tag memory that must match the value. Only tags that match will respond to the reader's
query. The default value "*" selects all tags.
4.3.3 EPC Memory Bank/Custom Format
The settings "EPC memory bank" and "EPC custom format" specifies which parts of the tag memory that
will be read by the reader. Available options include EPC/SecureMarkID (default), SecureMarkID, EPC, TID
and "Custom Format".
If "EPC memory bank" is set to "Custom Format" the "EPC custom format" setting specifies which parts of
the tag memory that will be read.
4.3.4 Tag Filter
The tag filter (under Settings…/Tag Filter in the web interface) specifies how often tags are reported. Tags
can be reported every time they are read, periodically or once. It is also possible to get a tag event when a
tag is no longer read by the reader. It is possible to activate read beep and read blink to get an indication
every time a tag is reported.
Page 25 of 36
XT Series Reader Manual
13-111 P11D, 2017-10-03
The TAGP protocol reports tag events as they come out of the tag filter.
4.3.5 Data Selection
The "Data selection" settings (under Settings…/Data Selection in the web interface) specifies how the read
data shall be interpreted (binary, hexadecimal or decimal) and also makes it possible to select a part of the
data (number of digits with a left or right aligned offset).
Reader protocols with binary output reports data as it comes out of this stage.
4.3.6 Data Format
The "Data Format" settings (under Settings…/Data Format in the web interface) specifies the output format
for data that is pushed to RS232, RS485, TCP Client, and the built-in access controller.
Firmware Upgrade

OSDP (RS485)
The reader supports the Open Supervised Device Protocol (OSDP) [5] for connection to access control
systems. OSDP communicates over 2-wire RS485 and can therefore be used with long cables and does
not require extra cables for LED and buzzer control. IF_DIP/S301:1-2 must be set to ON to enable 2-wire
mode on the reader. In most cases IF_DIP/S301:3-5 should also be set to ON to enable biasing and
termination. Input IN3 can be connected to a presence detector such as an inductive loop. Figure 23 shows
a typical connection diagram and the most common settings for SW_DIP/S101 and IF_DIP/S301.

Push (RS232, RS485, TCP/IP)
When a tag has been read, the reader can automatically push tag data to RS232, RS485 and a specified
TCP server. The Push protocol is enabled by default on RS232 and RS485. To push data to a TCP server
it is necessary to specify the IP address and TCP port of the server and enable the Push protocol under
Settings…/Interfaces…/Ethernet in the web interface.
The format of the pushed data can be configured under Settings…/Data Format. The default format is
decimal for SecureMarkID tags and hexadecimal for other tags.
TAGP (TCP/IP)
TagMaster Readers can be controlled and monitored using a protocol called TAGP. The TAGP protocol is
human readable and can be used over TCP/IP, RS232 and RS485. A terminal emulation program such as
PuTTY is all that is required to interact with TAGP.
The "TAGP Protocol Specification" [3] can be downloaded from www.tagmaster.com.
Use login name "partner" and password "245ghz".
PuTTY TagMaster Edition can be downloaded from ftp://partner:245ghz@ftp.tagmaster.com.
All TAGP messages start with a 4-character message identifier and ends with a new line character. To
initiate communication with the TAGP server in the reader, a client has to send a HELO message
specifying the required TAGP version. The TAGP server replies with a RPLY message:
HELOTAGP/2
RPLYHELO00
The client can then send commands to the reader. The most important commands are SET, SETS, GET,
and GETS. SET and GET sets and gets the current value of a variable. SETS and GETS sets and gets the
stored value of a variable. The stored value is used to initialize the variable at startup. The following
example shows how to set the LED to green:
SET LED=GREEN
RPLYSET 00
The reader sends events to the client when something happens. The following example shows a TAG
event that is sent when a tag has been read:
EVNTTAG 20140416151015810%00%07'%14l%00%00%00%00%00%00%00
Other Protocols
The reader supports a number of OEM protocols, including SKIDATA BLL4 and Kaba BPA/Bedanet. These
protocols are documented in separate protocol manuals that can be downloaded from www.tagmaster.com.

7 Troubleshooting
To facilitate troubleshooting, consider the following:
Make sure that the reader has correct supply voltage and sufficient current. Check the POWER
status indicator as described in section 3.5.
If using Ethernet communication, make sure that the network connection is ok. Check the ETH LINK
and SPEED status indicators as described in section 3.5.
If the IP address has been forgotten or firmware settings have been corrupted the reader can be
restored to factory default settings as described in section 4.5.
Make sure that working and correctly formatted EPC Gen 2 tags are being used.
