3) ‘Frozen display’ In some cases, the terminal has to be focused on one (1) specific action. In other words, to guarantee a good product behavior, the user mustn’t stop/disturb the current running action. In such a case, capturing data (writing/reading of RFID tags…) is forbidden; no user application is running… During this running specific action, the following screen is displayed: [action 1] [action 2] BT name: xxx BDA: xx.xx .xx.xx.xx.xx S/N : xxxxxxx Batt.
IX. Connecting your orKan terminal There are two (2) different ways to create a connection from the host to the orKan terminal by Bluetooth: 1) Slave mode (default) The host (PC, Baracoda Desktop Manager, …) creates the connection to the terminal. In this case, the remote host is the master Bluetooth node and the orKan terminal is the slave node. The terminal can be configured to reconnect automatically with the Baracoda Desktop Manager software.
X. Configuring your orKan terminal There are two (2) ways to configure your orKan terminal: - when connected to a PC, the Baracoda Desktop Manager software can be used for multiple setting changes. Nota : obviously, this device cannot be configured by configuration barcodes (ie : programming Guide) 1) Reset to default settings To reset the orKan terminal to default settings, the user can use the Baracoda Desktop Manager.
3) RFID-HF protocol Settings You can enable/disable/modify any type of RFID HF protocol with both the Baracoda Desktop Manager software. Here is the list of RFID-HF protocols supported by orKan dual (CPU v0.4.01.48 – RFID v1.63[10]) RFID Protocols supported Protocols Examples Mifare 'classic' 1K / 4K Mifare Ultralight ISO/IEC 14443- A Mifare DESFire (unsecured) Mifare Pro, ProX, SmartMX ISO/IEC 14443- B Atmel Crypto RF ASK CTS256B & CTS512B S.T.
4) Data format The general format of data sent by the orKan terminal to the remote host is shown on the following table: Header App ref Data nature Timestamp Data prefix Capture prefix Symbology/ Protocol prefix AIM/ Protocol ID Processed data Symbology /Protocol suffix Capture suffix Data suffix 1 byte 1 byte 1 byte 12 bytes 0-32 bytes 0-32 bytes 0-4 bytes 0, 2 or 3 bytes - 0-4 bytes 0-32 bytes 0-32 bytes Frame Field Separator (1Byte) where: a.
f. Capture Prefix/Suffix A capture prefix and/or suffix can be added to every piece of data sent to the host device. You can configure the capture prefix/suffix via the Baracoda Desktop Manager software or with the Programming Guide. By default there is no data prefix or suffix set on the orKan terminal. g. RFID HF protocol Prefix/Suffix A prefix and/or suffix can be added to a specific symbology/RFID protocol sent to the host device.
5) Beeps, Vibrator and LEDs You can enable/disable beeps / Vibrator / LED blinks using either the Baracoda Desktop Manager software or the Programming Guide. 6) Power Management Several parameters can be tuned to optimize the battery autonomy (“Sniff period”, “Shutdown timer”, etc…) The orKan terminal Bluetooth power is set at 20dBm (Bluetooth Class 1) by default. The Baracoda Desktop Manager software can be used to modify the parameters having an impact on the battery autonomy.
XI. How to capture data ? 1) orKan positionning to capture RFID HF tag In order to switch ON the orKan terminal, please press the middle trigger button. Position the terminal on the RFID HF tag. Nota : Tag HF reading distance : contact Concerning the capture of RFID-HF, the terminal is able to - read & treat TagID as a barcode. In other words, press on the trigger ; the terminal will emit a beep when the Tag ID (UID) is read.
2) Different usage modes There are two (2) main operating modes in which the orKan terminal can be used: - real time mode (with or without No Data Loss mode). When the terminal is in this mode, it will try to transfer all captured data (ie: RFID-HF tag ID) to the terminal at once. - batch mode (off-line). When the terminal is in this mode, it will save captured data (ie : RFID-HF tag ID) in its memory until it receives an upload command (via the Baracoda Desktop Manager). a.
3) Different Reading modes The orKan terminal has four (4) reading modes. These modes can be set through either the Baracoda Desktop Manager software or the Programming Guide. a. Trigger mode (default setting) Simply press the middle trigger button when you want to capture data. b. AutoScan mode This mode enables to scan continuously; in Autoscan mode the scan beam is continuously on. This mode allows a very fast reading, but battery consumption is high. c.
