After device has connected with PC, the parameters on interface will be empty. Click “Get” on each option to collect device parameters. Click “Set” on the page, user can adjust necessary parameters, some parameters are default values. Output power can be set in range of 5 dBm to 30 dBm as following picture, after select value, click “Set” button. If “Save” has been selected, current parameters will be saved after power off device.
Set RFLink: Set continuous wave: There are two work modes can be selected, “command mode” and “auto mode”. Under “command mode”, user could collect tag data in “Read EPC” page, click “Start” to send command to device on PC, click “Stop” to stop collecting tag data. Under “auto mode”, user could collect tag data in “UDP-ReceiveEPC” page, click “Start” to receive data, click “Stop” to stop receiving data. After selecting “auto mode”, the device needs to be restarted.
Set IP address and make sure PC and device have used in same segment. For example, if IP address of PC is 192.168.1.109, mask is 255.255.255.0, the device IP address can be set to 192.168.1.201, port number doesn’t need to be changed. Set antenna connection, there are 4 I/O ports on device and have been marked as ANT1, ANT2, ANT3, ANT4. User needs to select antenna which has been connected and click “set”.
Set FastID: Set TagFocus: Set protective temp.
Reset, click “Reset” button to restore device to default value. After reset, user needs to click “Close” and “Open” to reconnect the device. Set Buzzer, click “Open” to switch on buzzer function, device will play notification sound when reading tags. Set Gen2, this parameter needs to be adjusted by actual requirements.
Chapter 3 Read and Write EPC 3.1 Read EPC Click “ReadEPC” in menu to enter EPC page, click “Start” to read tags, click “Stop” to stop reading. The EPC, RSSI, Count number and ANT number (antenna channel) will be recorded in window as following pic: User could enter data in “Filter” to filter EPC of special tags, the maximum filter DL is 96 bits. User needs to setup data, initial address, data length and click “Set”.
3.2 Read & Write Tags Click “ReadWriteTag” to enter its page, TID area can be read only, RESERVED, EPC and USER areas can be read and written.
Click one option in “Read-write” window to enter tag reading mode, EPC will be automatically copied into “Data” block in filter, default option is EPC reading, click “Read” to read 12 bytes of EPC area.
For “RESERVED” area, user could read 4 words at maximum, previous 2 words are password of KILL function, last 2 words are access passwords: Read TID area: 18
Read USER area: Data could be written in EPC, RESERVED and USER areas, select according areas and input initial address, length, input data into “Data” window and click “Write” to write data into according areas.
3.3 Lock UHF Tag Click “Kill-Lock” in main menu to enter Tag locking function. For this function, user could execute “Lock”, “Kill”, “Open”, “Permanent Open” and “Permanent Lock”, to execute “Lock” function, password is needed. If user wants to kill UHF tag, need to enter password and tag will be wasted permanently.
3.4 UDP-ReceiveEPC After auto mode has been selected, restart device and select UDPReceiveEPC, click “Open” to connect device and select IP address of PC in address column, click “Stop” to stop receiving UHF tag data. If user needs to escape auto work mode, “command mode” needs to be selected in work mode.
3.5 Others Click “UHF information” in main menu to read hardware version and firmware version, click “Temperature” to read current temperature value of UHF module.
