1. Overview of UHF RFID Reader This product is RFID reader to transmit car information to a remote server for the purpose of electronic toll collection system with RF technology. The reader reads car information from TAG ID, which is embedded in TAG, and sends this information to the remote server. This reader can be used for 4 channels if it is connected to 4 antennas and can be used with parts of all antennas.

8. RFID Configuration Program RFID Reader (CPR-503) program can be used to measure the performance of a reader or set the configuration of a reader. It commits the functions through communication with a reader via serial/Ethernet. As major functions, this program can set parameters used in a reader and provide interfaces for read/write/lock functions to RFID tags.
(2) Parameter Setting ⒜ Communication Use communication item in parameter setting tabs to configure the communication environments. The communication method can be RS-232, RS-485 or Ethernet. The selection is committed by pressing the radio button located in left side of each communication method. In case of RS-232 or RS-485, the port number and baud rate should be set, too.
(Figure 16) Ethernet (Server mode) Setting If RS-232, RS-485 or Ethernet client mode is selected, press connect button for communicating with a reader. In case of Ethernet server mode, it is needless to press connect button. When the connection is completed, the communication status indicator located in rightbottom side of the program will display "Connected" from "Not Connected". --Æ (Figure 17) Communication status indicator ⒝ Tag type setting RFID Reader (CPR-503) supports 3types of RFID tags.
(Figure 18) Tag type setting (Figure 19) Selection of modulation parameters ⒞ Selection of modulation parameters Modulation parameters can be set in modulation tab. (Refer to Figure 19) The modulation tab is only used when selected TAG type is GEN2. Configurable parameters of modulation are TARI, RTCal, TRCal, Reverse link encoding method, Divide ratio (DR), and pilot tone. TARI, RTCal, TRCal value is set by the micro second.
for anti-collision are sent, tag id cannot be received), RF ON period will be switched to RF Off period. Therefore, RF ON period is flexible within the period user sets, but RF OFF period is fixed as same as the period user sets.
⒡ Buzzer Setting In order to make the buzzer ring when a reader receives a TAG ID, you can set Buzzer item in MISC tab of parameter configuration tabs. (Refer to Figure 22) If you want to ring the buzzer on receiving the tag id, you can select ON in combo button, and if you want the buzzer to remain silently, you can select OFF in combo button. (Figure 22) Buzzer Setting (Figure 23) TAG Data Reading ⒢ Reading of TAG Data To read data in GEN2 tag, use the read item in parameter configuration tabs.
If all configurable parameters for reading data in a tag are set, press Read button. When reading is successful, the read data is displayed in the edit window between Access password item and Read button. ⒣ Writing TAG Data In order to write data in GEN2 tag, use Write item in parameter configuration tabs. (Refer to Figure 24). In case of GEN2 tag, data can be written in 4 memory banks.
(Figure 25) Success of the writing data in a tag ⒤ Tag Lock Setting With GEN2 tag, 4 banks can be selected for locking using Lock item in parameter configuration tabs. (Refer to Figure 26) Reserved memory bank can be locked in kill password memory or access password memory.
Above status is the case when Password Read/Write and Permalock is checked by skip/write item. That is, if skip/write is checked, the lock item left to the skip/write button is applied and if not checked, the lock status left to the skip/write item is maintained as it was. In case of Figure 27, it shows that Kill password is locked permanently. (Figure 26) Locking GEN2 Tag (Figure 27) Locking Kill Password In order to lock configuration is activated, you should press Lock button.
(Figure 28) Successful case of Lock ⒥ Reader Configuration To configure the parameters of a reader, use Configuration item in parameter configuration tabs.

as a serial communication protocol. After setting serial communication method, if a user presses Send button, the configuration of serial communication method between a RFID reader and a PC is completed. 5) Baud rate setting Combo-box next to Baud rate item is used to configure a baud rate of serial communication. After setting a baud rate item, if a user presses Send button, the configuration of baud rate is completed.
⒦ Synchronization Setting TBD ⒧ Adjustment of Reader RF Output power To change RF power of a reader, Attenuation item in parameter configuration tabs is used. Attenuation value is permitted from 0 to 31. The greater is the number, the less is the RF power. That is, if attenuation value is set to 0, the RF power is maximum and if attenuation value is set to 31, the RF power is minimum. Use combo-box next to Attenuation item to adjust RF power and press Send button to finish the process.
Car Type #0 ~ Car Type #9 is selected in Type of Car item to write the type of car. That is the first byte of UII data. Input Car number in edit box of Car Number item. Those are saved from 2nd byte of UII. If Tag is locked with an access password, input access password into the edit box next to the Access Password item with the HEX format or if not, input 0. UII data is made from the car type and the car number which a user inputs. That Hex code is displayed in UII item with text type.
(Figure 33) The case of success in writing UII data ⒩ Time setting To change the clock time of a RFID reader , use Time item of parameter configuration tabs. Year, Month, Day, Hour, Minute and Second can be set.
(Figure 34) Setting of Clock time (Figure 35) Setting of TID Length ⒪ Setting of TID Length To determine the length of TAG ID, which is read from GEN2 tag, use the TID item of parameter configuration tabs. The length can be 64bits or 96bits. (Refer to Figure 35) ⒫ TAG Indicator Tag Indicator item of parameter configuration tabs shows if TAG ID is received or not. (Refer to Figure 36) If Show button is pressed, star(*) mark is displayed in edit box when TAG ID is received.
(Figure 36) Indicator of TAG ID ⒬ Tag Test In GEN2 Tag, 2 types of IDs exist, which are UII and TID. To determine which ID is received, use Tag Test item of parameter configuration tabs. With Comb-box right to Mode item, Read UII, Read TID, Entrance Mode or Exit Mode can be selected. Read UII Mode is for receiving UII only and Read TID mode is for receiving UII and TID.
(Figure 37) Setting of Read mode of a Tag and Writing User Data (3) Displaying Tag Information The list item of Figure 38 indicates an information of received TAG IDs. No. item is serial number, Count item is the number of received tags, UII item is the UII of a tag. Tag ID indicates TID and Antenna item indicates the number of an antenna which receives the TAG IDs. Time is the clock time when the TAG ID is received. If Start button is pressed, the time is counted from the time when the button is pressed.
