Indy R2000 Series Module Evaluation Kit User Manual 1. Open the software and it will shows as below: 2. Please select RS232 as Connection if the reader is connected via RS -232 port, Choose the corresponding Serial Port and Baudrate (default baudrate is 115200). As illustrated below: 3. Click Connect , if it succeeds, the Operation History will display as below: If the reader is connected via TCP/IP, please follow those steps:  Ensure that an Ethernet Card has been installed in the PC.

Default settings when connected via TCP/IP as follows:  IP addresses: 192.168.0.178  Net mask: 255.255.255.0  Port No.: 4001 For more TCP/IP configuration details, please defer to the document supplied:\ tcpip configuration \ IPORT-1UM.PDF 2. Click Connect, if it is connected successfully, the Operation history will display as below: 3.

Indy R2000 Series Module Evaluation Kit User Manual 2.2.1 Setting RF Output Power RF Output Power is the strength of RF output signal from antenna port whose unit is dBm. The output power range is 0 - 33dBm. When this setting completes, it will be saved in the reader automatically even if the power is cut off. Our default output power is 30dBm (1W). 2.2.2 Setting RF Spectrum There are two methods to set RF spectrum. Method 1: Use the default carrier frequency of the reader.
PAGE 8
Indy R2000 Series Module Evaluation Kit User Manual Sensitivity of Antenna Connection Detector is set by users which is the Return Loss of antenna port, the unit of which is dB. The larger this value is, the better impedance matching requirements between antenna and port. For normal antennas, you can set the threshold to 3-6dB. Sensitivity of Ceramic Antenna and Handset could be more lower. Notes:  Reader detects antenna connection by measuring the Return Loss of RF ports.

Indy R2000 Series Module Evaluation Kit User Manual Repeat Per Command, which is the times of repeat inventory command. For example, inventory command will execute anti-collision algorithm one time when you set the value to 1. It will execute anti-collision algorithm two times when you set the value to 2... 2. Click Inventory, you will find that the EPC number is uploaded immediately and it is real-time updating.

Indy R2000 Series Module Evaluation Kit User Manual Note: the identified tags won’t be shown in the Tag list. 2. Click Stop first, then click Get Buffer. All the data in cache will be uploaded as illustrated below: Functions description under Buffer Mode: Get and Clear: Read the data form cache and then clear the cache. It will be empty when you read the 10 COPYRIGHT © SHENZHEN RODINBELL TECHNOLOGY CO., LTD.

Clear Buffer: Clear the cache and refresh the screen. 2.3.2 Users define Session ID & Inventorying Parameter of Inventoried Flag 2.3.3 Fast Switching Antenna to Inventory Tags Under standard operation of tag inventory(Real Time Mode & Buffer Mode), the inventory period will takes at least 500-800ms.

Indy R2000 Series Module Evaluation Kit User Manual 2.4.1 Read tags You can type the parameter (zones to be read, Start Address and Data Length) as illustrated below: Note: the unit of Starting Address and Data Length is WORD which is 16 bit double-byte. Click Read when the parameter setting is completed. Picture as below shows two tags have been identified successfully. 2.4.

Indy R2000 Series Module Evaluation Kit User Manual information of write data. When the operation done successfully, the screen will display as follows: Note: The maximum length of one-time write is 32 Word (64 bytes, 512bits). 2.4.3 Lock Tags A password is necessary to be provided for locking tags. When the operation is completed successfully, the screen will display as follows: Same as Write Tags, data of identified tags will be displayed in Tag List. 2.4.
PAGE 14
Indy R2000 Series Module Evaluation Kit User Manual Password is necessary which can’t be 00 00 00 00 before Kill Tags. Therefore, to kill a tag please change the content of password via Write Tag Operation first. When tag is killed successfully, the information will display as follows: 2.4.5 Tag Selection No matter how many tags in RF region, we just want to access EPC tags which are already identified. Now, we can use the function of Tag Selection (EPC matching). 1.
PAGE 15
Indy R2000 Series Module Evaluation Kit User Manual Errors occur if wrong operations done: ◆ Inventory success, access failure: There are two steps to get access to tags: firstly, tag inventory; secondly, access tags. Picture above shows the inventory is successful, but we can’t access to tags. Two reasons why: 1. Parameters incorrect: for example, zones(password/ EPC/ TID/ User) to be read do not exist. 2.
PAGE 16
Indy R2000 Series Module Evaluation Kit User Manual Each time when the reader identifies a tag’s UID, the buzzer will sound with a short beep. If the buzzer sounds with a long beep, it means the reader start the anti-collision function and identifies multiple tags at the same time. 2.5.2 Accessing to ISO-18000-6B Tag There is only one tag available each time when we get access to ISO-18000-6B tag.
PAGE 17
Indy R2000 Series Module Evaluation Kit User Manual Notes for access operations: ◆Access operations only for the selected tag. ◆It can read multi-byte data of tag at the same time, length of the data is not limited. ◆Multi-byte data could be written. If error occurs, the reader will stop writing, but data which has been written will not change, thus reader will return the number of bytes which have been written successfully. ◆Only one-byte data of tag can be locked each time.

Indy R2000 Series Module Evaluation Kit User Manual Operations as below: Users can use the serial port commander to read and write GPIO in their own applications. 2.6.4 Setting Buzzer Status Reader’s working status is provided to users through the Buzzer. Three ways to set the buzzer: 1. Quite: turn off the buzzer 2. Beep after an inventory round: set it as beep each time when tag inventory is taken. 3. Beep after a tag is identified: set it as beep each time when reader identifies a tag.

But in practical applications, user might need to develop their own applications. Please defer to the document: UHF RFID Reader Serial Interface Protocol V3.1. The reader follows the definition both of the RS - 232 and TCP / IP interface.
