WEB08S-TA TCP/IP Ethernet HTTP Web Client RFID Reader
for Attendance
WEB08S-TA is a TCP/IP Ethernet based RFID reader for
125KHz RFID cards. Battery backed real-time clock and
memory is included.
It is implemented as a HTTP web client. Various page
extension is selectable, like .php, .asp, .cfm, .pl, .htm, .html
and .aspx. So various HTTP server systems (e.g. IIS and ASP
from Microsoft; Apache with PHP enabled and mySQL
database server from Unix/Linux), a complete and powerful
time attendance system can easily be implemented.
Since the real-time clock is battery backed, even the power is
lost the clock is still running properly.
When cards are presented, the transaction information is
stored inside the memory of the reader. Whenever there is network connection and the server
is running, those records will be sent to the server. Upon confirmation by the server, the
records will be deleted accordingly.
The memory is capable to store up to 1000 records. The
memory is retained even power is lost. Whenever a card is
presented to the reader, the record is stored with a short beep
sound for the acknowledgement of the record stored. When
the memory is used up, a long beep sound will be made. The
oldest record will be deleted in order to store the newest
record.

1.Setup the reader
In order to work properly, WEB08S-TA must be configured correctly. For normal condition,
the blue LED is blinking. While relay is engaged, the red LED with be lighted up
simultaneously.
1.1 Default Settings
The default configurations of the WEB08S-TA is listed as follows:

1.2 Reset WEB08S-TA to default
Before power up, put a jumper cap over J4. When power on, the settings of WEB08S-TA
will be cleared and set to the default condition. It must be removed for normal operation.
1.3 Force DHCP mode
When a jumper cap put over J6. DHCP mode will be forced for automatic configuration of
the WEB08S-TA. The DHCP server must be configured to response the options
www-server, i.e. option 72.

2.Installation
In order to work properly, WEB08S-TA must have stable power supply, a 10-baseT
Ethernet connection, an optional slave reader and an optional electric strike or magnetic
lock.
2.1 Power Requirements
WEB08S-TA requires 9 to 12V DC 500mAfor normal operation. There are two ways to
supply the power to the reader:
2.1.1 Terminal Block
Apply the power to the terminal block, with
positive terminal to VIN and negative terminal to
GND (ground).
2.1.2 Power from Cat-5/e Ethernet
cable
Apply the power through the Ethernet cable on
the RJ45 connector. Pin 7 and 8 is connected to GND (ground), and Pin 4 and 5 is
connected to VIN. Meanwhile, jump block J3 must be shorted out by four two-pin
jumper cap.

2.2 External Relay Control
WEB08S-TA is built-in with a controllable relay output on the terminal block J9, where:
NC - normal close, it is connected to C normally.
C - common, it will connects to either NO or NC, but not both.
NO - normal open, it is open circuit normally.
The maximum switching voltage of the relay is 120VAC or 60VDC, and the maximum
switching current is 2A.It can be used to connect to the bypass switch of an electric
strike for door access controlling. Overloading the maximum ratings may cause
damages to the reader permanently and cannot be repaired anymore.

2.3 Contact Switch
WEB08S-TA allows a external contact switch (i.e. a push button) to be connected to the
IN-GND terminals. The changes of its status (i.e. shorted or opened), will post
corresponding messages to the web server.
2.4 Slave Reader
WEB08S-TA allows a slave reader (MODEL NO: KS232S) to work together and the host
software can identify the actions is come from the WEB08S-TA or the slave reader by
check the variable $type. The following is the connection diagram assuming the
WEB08S-TA is installed outside the premises while the slave reader is installed inside the
premises.
Remarks:
1. Connection to the electric strike.
2. Connection from the slave reader to WEB08S-TA which consists of 4 wires, power ‘+’
and ‘-‘, and data signals RD and TD.
3. Connection to an internal bypass switch.

5. Connection to power supply for WEB08S-TA and the slave reader.
2.5 Mechanical Dimensions
Height: 97mm
Width: 57mm
Depth: 24mm
2.6 Battery
ACR1220 lithium cell battery is required for the normal operation of the real-time clock. It
is not included in the package. Customer needs to purchase by themselves.
