4. Operations overview The IPICO reader is designed as a read/write (RW) reader. The reader modulates READ commands to the tags in order to interrogate the tag. Depending on the application new DATA can be updated on the tag using a modulated WRITE command. Read commands will typically be 5ms in duration with a response from the tag in 300us for 64bits. A WRITE command will typically be longer and will average around 35ms.
6. Installation and Set-up Note: The following set-up is for demonstration purpose only. Installation and applications will be site dependant. 1. Install ShowTags on the controlling PC running on Windowsä 95,98 NT or 2000. It consists of a single .EXE file, which can be copied from the supplied 3.5” disk to any directory on the controlling PC and run from that directory. From time to time updates are available on the Web at http://www.IPICO.com 2. Start ShowTags. Check the serial port settings.
6.1 Quick start (Ethernet communication) Connect the Ethernet cable to J20 on the Registration Reader and proceed as follows: Note: The default factory settings are IP = 192.168.1.31 port 6543 In case the user wants to change IP/port settings of the reader, edit the file in Appendix 1 and upload the file to the reader by doing the following procedure: a. Open the Moxa SDK tool. (Download from support at www.IPICO.com) b. Do a broadcast search and select the reader that is found c.
d. Click on OK and wait for the upload to finish. e. Default values in the .txt file are uploaded. Click on OK, accept the changes made and Exit the configuration tool. EXHIBIT 8 - UHF RFID READER USER MANUAL 109.
8. Application notes 1. Some of the IPICO tag antenna formats are dipoles. Like dipoles, they have nulls end-on. 2. Tags should always be orientated in a plane orthogonal to the direction to the reader. 3. Reading speed depends on the tag version used. Please consult IPICO’s support team or your local dealer regarding these specifications. 4. Up to 30 tags can be read per second.
Figure 9 EVI Reader Installation: Side read scenario Figure 10 EVI Reader Installation: Overhead read scenario Note: Typical angle is also a function of height above ground and is site dependant. Surrounding structures may cause unwanted reflections or extended read capabilities. The installer needs to test and re-adjust for Overhead: 30° - 40° Roadside: 40° - 90° best performance.

9. Troubleshoot Visual indicator guide · Steady RED light indicates Power ON but no processor/communication activity. · Slow GREEN Flash at 1/6Hz indicates Internal processor working. · Fast GREEN Flash at 1/2Hz indicates communication activity between PC and reader. The fast heartbeat will only start, once a command has been received by the reader. · A random GREEN fast Flash indicates a valid Tag ID.
