6 Charge and ActiveSync Connection
The 1134 LF Reader is designed to fit into a standard MC55/65 desktop charge cradle or
cradle cup. When docked into a cradle power is passed through the 1134 so that the host
terminal can charge.
When docked and an external USB host is connected, the USB connection from the host
terminal is disconnected from the RFID reader and passed straight through to the connector
on the bottom of the 1134. This allows an ActiveSync connection to the host terminal but
prevents simultaneous ActiveSync and RFID operation. Only ActiveSync connections
(external host) are possible. There is no support of USB connection where the terminal is the
host (for example USB memory sticks) through the 1134.
If ActiveSync is required for software development and debug purposes it is recommended
that ActiveSync over Bluetooth is configured. Instructions for doing this are provided in a
separate document ‘Bluetooth ActiveSync on Motorola Terminals’ included on the Explorer Kit
and Software Development Kit CDs and can also be downloaded from
http://www.tsl.uk.com/downloads.htm.

7 Reading Transponders
RFID transponders can be read when they are in range of the antenna. The antenna is
located under the back cover of the 1134 LF RFID reader. The range at which a transponder
can be read depends on the transponder type and size. Larger transponders can be read
further away from the antenna. In many cases it will be possible to read transponders in front
and to the side of the 1134 LF RFID reader. For best performance the transponder must be
orientated correctly with the antenna. For disk and card shaped transponders this means that
the transponder should be parallel to the back cover. For rod style transponders the
transponder should have its long axis at right angles to the back cover. The photographs in
Figure 4 show examples of optimum transponder orientation:

9 Software
9.1 Driver installation
The drivers required for the 1134 LF Reader may be deployed as part of the installation of a
custom application. Otherwise they can be deployed by copying ‘RFID Reader Driver.CAB’ to
the host terminal and running it. When prompted, choose ‘Device’ as the destination to install
the drivers to.
RFID Reader Driver.CAB is included on the Explorer Kit and Software Development Kit CDs
and can also be downloaded from http://www.tsl.uk.com/downloads.htm.
9.2 Reader Demonstration
Technology Solutions provide a demonstration application which can be used to explore the
functionality of the 1134 LF Reader and test the read range for a particular transponder. This
application and full instructions are available for download from the Technology Solutions
website at http://www.tsl.uk.com/downloads.htm.
An example screenshot of the Demonstration software is shown in Figure 5.

9.3 SmartWedge RFID application
A Wedge application has been developed for use with the 1134 and other Technology
Solutions RFID readers. This activates the RFID reader whilst any of the yellow scan buttons
are held down. Any transponder serial numbers that are read are sent out as though they had
been typed on the keypad to whichever application has focus.
Instructions for installing and using the Wedge application are provided separately from the
Technology Solutions website at http://www.tsl.uk.com/downloads.htm .
9.4 LF RFID Configuration
A Configuration application has been developed for use with the 1134 and other Technology
Solutions RFID readers. This allows common operating parameters to be changed and
stored.
Instructions for installing and using the Configuration Application are provided separately from
the Technology Solutions website at http://www.tsl.uk.com/downloads.htm .
9.5 Software support for the 1134 LF RFID reader
To make full use of the functionality of the LF RFID reader, a customised software application
will be required. Technology Solutions support two approaches to this; direct communication
with the reader using the low level command set or the use of an API to simplify application
development.
9.5.1 Low level command set
The Low level command set supports two modes; ASCII and binary. ASCII mode is typically
used for simple applications, for example collecting transponder unique identifiers (UIDs). The
binary protocol is more suited where complex interaction with transponders is required.
The command set format and content is described in the document ‘LF RFID Command
Protocol.pdf’ which is available for download from the Technology Solutions website at
http://www.tsl.uk.com/downloads.htm .
9.5.2 API
An API is provided for use with the LF RFID reader. This can be downloaded from the
Technology Solutions website at http://www.tsl.uk.com/downloads.htm .
A document is provided as part of the .zip folder which introduces the API. The RFID API is
provided with Microsoft style compiled HTML help (.chm) and an intelli-sense file for general
reference to the API. A sample application is also provided which demonstrates the use of the
API.
9.6 Power management with the 1134 LF RFID reader
All power for the LF RFID is drawn from the host terminal. Maximum operating time is
therefore obtained by managing the operation of the RFID reader optimally.
The LF RFID reader has three operating modes; continuous read mode, idle mode and
standby mode. The reader is switched between read mode and idle modes by software
commands, documented in the Low level command set. The reader is set into standby mode
when the virtual COM port is closed. The reader remains in standby mode for as long as the
USB is active on the host terminal.
The recommended power saving method is to close the serial port when the reader is not
being used. Idle mode does not provide much power saving and the time taken to exit Idle
mode is not much shorter than that from the serial port being opened. Any application using
the 1134 LF RFID reader should therefore only open the COM port when an RFID transaction
is to be performed. This is the approach taken with the Demonstration application and with
SmartWedge RFID.
