3.2 Setting RF Parameter
After connecting the reader with PC, some basic RF parameters need to be configured: RF Output
Power & RFSpectrum.To do so, select RFSetup as illustrated below:
3.2.1 Setting RF Output Power
RF Output Poweris the strength of RF output signal fromantenna port whose unit is dBm.
The output powerrange is from18to 26dBm.When this setting is complete,it is automatically saved
in the reader, evenif the power is turned off.The default output power is 26 dBm.

3.2.2 Setting RF Spectrum
The RF spectrum must be configuredmanually.
•For more informationon carrierfrequency,refer to the frequency parameter tablet in the
communicationprotocol.
•Frequency range supported by the reader: 865MHz-868MHz(ETSI), 902MHz-
928MHz(FCC).You can set the player in RF Spectrum Configuration->User Definition,
as shown below:
Users can set RF spectrum via these three parameters: Start Frequency, Frequency Interval, The
number of Frequency points.
3.3 ISO-18000-6C tag inventory
Connect the Reader. The Tag operation can be started when the RF setup is complete.
The Tag inventory means that the reader identifies several tags’ 'EPC number' at the same time.
This is the central function of the UHF RFID reader and one of the standards for judging the
performanceof a reader.
3.3.1 Real Time Mode & Buffer Mode
The most commonly used mode for tag inventory is Real-time Mode. Data will be uploaded
meanwhile you can get the tags’EPC number instantly. RSSI and Parameter of Frequency are
changed and recorded in real time. Due to its dual CPU architecture, performance of multi-tag
identification under Real-time mode is the best.
The other mode is Buffer Mode. Data is cached and downloaded for viewing if necessary. In this
mode, the data is not downloaded several times. However, data filtering takes some time for the
reader. As a result, its identification efficiency willbe slightly lower than that of the real-time mode.
Note: tags cannot be used when youextractdata from the cache.
Users can choose the appropriate method depending on their application, as shown below:

3.3.1.1 Real-time Mode
1.Click TagInventory (Real TimeMode). Select the connected antenna(s) ports. Set the number
of Repeat Per Command, which is the times of repeat inventory command. For example,
inventory commandwill 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.
The reader will keep inventory until you click stop as shown below:
Inventoried Quantity
Total number of inventory tags since click on Inventory.
Speed
Speed of identification Tag, unit: piece / sec
Total Tag Communication
Total return EPCdata of tags (Including repeated data)

3.4.4 Kill Tags
To kill a tag, a password other than 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 must be configured. Therefore,
to kill a tag, you must first change the content of the password via the Write Tag operation.
When tag is killed successfully,the informationwill display as follows:
3.4.5 Tag Selection
In order to access the EPCs of the tags already identified, it is necessary to use the Tag Selection
function(EPC matching).
1. Tag inventory in Buffer Modeto get all tags’ EPCnumber.
2. Get tags in cache.
3. Accesstags and choose the EPCNO.which is needed, as illustrated below:
After choosing the tag, click Select and the screen will display as follows:

3.4.6 Error Display
Errors occurif incorrect operations are performed:
•Inventory success, access failure:
La capture d'écran montre 1) inventaire réussi mais 2) échec d'accès aux tags
The reasons to this error could be the following:
1. Parameters are incorrect: for example,zones (password/ EPC/TID/ User) to be read do not
exist.
2. Tags are beyond the area that the RF covers: the distance to accessto tags is about 60%-70%
of tag inventory;in this case, put the tag closer to the antenna.
•Wrong password:
In this case, wrong password has been set.
•No tags to be operated:
This error is since the tags are beyond the area that the RFcovers.

4Develop your own RFID Application
Most functions of the reader can be operated through the demo. To develop your own application,
refer to the document Commands Definition. Demo provides an important function of recording
serial transmission, so that users can quickly grasp the content of communication protocol in
practice. Please defer to the screenshot below and select Activate Serial Port Monitor, all uplink
and downlink serial data will be recorded, as illustrated below:
Notes:
•Response speed of Demowill slow down afteropening the Activate Serial Port Monitor.
Please turn off this functionwhen it is not needed.
•Data in violet blue color is sent to the reader by PC,and data in red color is the returned
information from reader to PC.
•Manual Input Command is used to debug serial command, which could calculate the
checksum automatically.
