1 INTRODUCTION
The Datamars “R-IN1300 MC” High Frequency (HF) RFID-reader, designed to work in industrial
environments, is resistant to vibrations, electromagnetic interference and able to detect the following
transponder technologies:
T-BT 1320, T-BT1315, T-BT1311 (ISO 15693), HF
T-BT 7xxx series, LF (only with Datamars R-IN7500 reader connected externally)
I-Code-1
Other types of transponders could be read in “Combo” mode.
The reader is able to find simultaneously more than one High Frequency (HF - multi read)
transponder1and one Low Frequency (LF – single read) chip at the same time if you have a
R-IN7500 Low Frequency reader connected on the Secondary Interface.

2 HARDWARE CONNECTIONS
1. Antenna:
Connect the black coaxial cable from the antenna to the connector marked as “1”.
You can not use cable other than the 3.5m coaxial 50Ωcable supplied by Datamars
SA. Additional extension cables at disposal.
2. PC/Terminal or Ethernet
It’s possible to connect the reader in three possible ways:
(1) Use the white serial white cable from the connector marked “Host” to any serial port
(COM) on your PC.
(2) Use the USB cable from the connector USB Device to any USB port on your PC(serial
emulation).
(3) Connect the reader to a LAN just like a PC (Ethernet cable & RJ-45 connectors)
Adirect Ethernet connection between a PC and “R-IN1300 MC” reader is also possible, with
an Ethernet Cross Cable (supplied together with the reader). Refer to Appendix A for more
details on how to do this.
3. Power
Connect the power cable 100 – 240 V AC and be sure that it is well fixed.
4. Set the Power Switch to ON and check if the green LED (Power) is on.
5. Wait until lights “Tag” and “Antenna” stop flashing (~10 seconds).
Green light on

IMPORTANT:
Please place the antenna as far as possible from metal surfaces to avoid possible
reading interferences and avoid mounting it in places where regular ventilation is not
granted.
If the light “Antenna” turns on, the antenna might be too close to metal surfaces, not
tuned or the coax cable may be damaged.
After the reader is turned on for some time the temperature might increase.
If you install more than one “R-IN1300 MC” with antenna, be sure to set *mi1
(modulation index 30%).
Do not plug/unplug any connectors while the reader is turned ON.
If you have a new R-IN7500 NMS:
1. Connect the Low Frequency (LF) Antenna to the connector marked “Ant.1” on the reader.
2. Connect a serial cable “RS-232” mentioned on the R-IN7500 to the connector “Secondary
Interface” mentioned on the “R-IN1300 MC” reader.
3. Connect the power cable.
4. Turn the reader on.
Keep a distance between the LF and the HF antenna (min. 1m) in order not to influence the
reading distance or use a combo antenna (A-ST1330 CBO) to read LF and HF transponders at
the same time with the same antenna.
Although R-IN1300 MC is protected against ESD, to avoid reader malfunction make sure
that no direct electrostatic discharge will happen into the reader case, antennas or even on
metallic parts directly in contact with the reader enclosure or antennas structure. Typical case
is ESD from metallic cart coming in contact with tunnel antenna metallic structure and
shielding.
2.1 MOUNTING
The reader can be simply laid down on the table or be mounted on the wall or under a table using its
appropriate wall mounting system.

3 ‘SINGLE CHANNEL MODE’VERSION
The functions of the reader are grouped into categories. Each category is dedicated to a specific task
i.e. reading UIDs in different industrial environments, exchanging data with the reader via serial and
Ethernet connections, monitoring the reader’s activities and so on.
The most important categories of commands are made available per default by the reader which is
thus able to perform tasks normally required in standard industrial environments. A special category of
commands is used to enhance the capabilities of the reader for special purposes. This special
category is not active per default: it must be activated typing the reader specific license-code.
The license-code can be requested by contacting Datamars and it is activated via terminal with
command *li immediately followed by the code itself or via browser typing the license-code in the
License-Tab.
The basic version of the reader, the so-called R-IN1300 MC SCM, can thus be upgraded to the more
powerful version, the so called R-IN1300 MC.
R-IN1300 MC SCM readers only use Antenna 1, Splitter and Rx and thus they can only be used in
Single Channel Mode.
R-IN1300 MC readers can use Antenna 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, Splitter and Rx.
Given a reader, it is possible to know whether it is a MC SCM or MC using the version-command (*v)
given by terminal or opening a browser-connection to the reader (see next chapters)

4.6 USB SETTINGS
The USB-device can be used to emulate a serial-connection or a mass storage. Using the USB-
device like a “mass storage emulator”, it is possible to write the detected UIDs into a formatted file
(journal-file). The file format per default is CSV so that the journal-file can be opened with “Microsoft
Excel”.
The generic format of journal-file looks like this:
If antenna-index is not known If antenna-index is known
UID0 <line-separator>
UID1 <line-separator>
UID2 <line-separator>
UID3 <line-separator>
…
UID0 <field-separator> Antenna Index <line-separator>
UID0 <field-separator> Antenna Index <line-separator>
UID0 <field-separator> Antenna Index <line-separator>
UID0 <field-separator> Antenna Index <line-separator>
…
The customer can configure the “field-separator”, the “line-separator” and the extension of the journal-
file.
Note: Refer to chapter 6.2 to get information on how to retrieve and handle the journal-file
*us[_] USB usage:

5 OPERATION WITH GRAPHICAL USER INTERFACE (GUI)
The R-IN1300 MID can be operated through 2 kinds of GUIs:
•The http GUI (Java applet) via the Ethernet port which can be used through a standard
browser like MS Internet Explorer or Firefox.
•The Datamars Reader Configurator, a Java application which communicate to the reader
though the RS-232 serial port based on the terminal interface protocol (see sections 4)
5.1 CONNECTING WITH ETHERNET (RECOMMENDED)
The reader “R-IN1300 MC” can be connected to the LAN just like a PC (Ethernet cable & RJ-45
connectors).
A direct Ethernet connection between a PC and “R-IN1300 MC” reader is also possible, with an
Ethernet Cross Cable (supplied together with the reader). Refer to Appendix A for more details on
how to do this.
In both cases the reader “R-IN1300 MC” must be provided with a correct IP-Address (DHCP is not
yet available. Thus the reader is not yet able to get its IP-address automatically).
To provide the “R-IN1300 MC” reader with an IP-address, it is recommended to configure it with the
supplied cross cable (or RS-232 interface), at least for the first time, in order to avoid IP conflicts in
your network. See appendix A for more details on how to connect your reader with a cross cable.
When the reader has its own IP-Address on the LAN (or with cross cable), you can go to login-page of
the reader and have access to the configuration-, monitoring- and administrator- tools. To access the
login-page, open a web browser (Internet Explorer, Firefox, etc.) and type http://192.168.0.85 (or the
IP that you have configured) in the address bar.
5.2 CONNECTING WITH THE COM (RS-232)
The reader “R-IN 1300 MID” can be connected to a PC with a serial connection and operated through
the Datamars Reader Configuration

DATAMARS
R-IN 1300 MC User Manual – Rev 6.0
18 (50)
The Datamars Reader Configuration is a Java application which makes use of the command line
intereface through the RS-232 interface. The application need to be installed on the PC from the the
CD-ROM supplied with the reader. The installation will start automatically when the disk is inserted in
the PC, just follow the on screen instructions.
In case the installation does not start, open the CD and double click on “install”.
At the end of the installation procedure the necessary software will be found in the Start menu.
5.3 GENERAL CONSIDERATIONS
5.3.1 THIRD PARTY INTERFACE
The “R-IN1300 MC” Reader always listens to incoming TCP/IP connections on port 1026 (TCP/IP
socket).
Using this dedicated TCP/IP socket, third party applications can connect to, exchange data with,
configure and monitor the “R-IN1300 MC” reader.
Refer to the “R-IN 1300 TCP/IP Dedicated Protocol” (UM001031) for a detailed description of the
whole communication protocol and syntax.
5.3.2 HUMAN INTERFACE
The interface (graphical program running on the browser) shows the configuration of the reader “R-
IN1300 MC” as a tabbed panel. Each panel groups logically tied parameters.
The SAVE, DEFAULT and CANCEL buttons act locally on the parameters of the current active tab.
The REFRESH button acts on the whole configuration (on all tabs).
To save the configured settings shown in the tab, press the SAVE button.
To restore the factory default settings of the current tab, press the DEFAULT button.
To undo changes done on the current tab, press the CANCEL button.
To view the actual parameters of the reader on all tabs, press the REFRESH button.
The parameters shown in the tabs may depend on each other. The selection of some options could
make some parameters “meaningless” in this context. In such cases relevant parameters are shown
normally while “meaningless” parameters are masked/disabled.
All parameters described in this manual refer to the High Frequency “R-IN1300 MC” with exception of
the parameters contained in the “Combo Setup Panel” and “Advanced Setup Panel” which refer to the
“Low Frequency Reader R-IN 7500”.
The graphical application requires a Java2 or Java5 plug-in. If the requested plug-in is already
installed on your PC, you are immediately able to run the application. Otherwise the system will try to
connect to the WWW to download the plug-in. In this case, follow every installation step always
accepting the defaults suggested by the system.

5.3.3 LOGIN
The interface running on the browser permits access to users only via login (user name & password):
attempts to join the configuration- and monitoring tools directly via bookmarks are prevented from the
system.
A user trying to connect while the system is already occupied (i.e. by another user having logged in
before) gets access in read-only mode thus preventing the configuration from being modified at the
same time by more users.
When the user closes the browser, the system becomes free, allowing other users to login and get
read-write mode. The administrator (only she/he) can force the system to disconnect users when the
system is kept busy too long. The default accounts are defined as follows, passwords can be
changed.
User Names Default Passwords
admin Admin (read, modify and
administrative rights )
user1 1234 (read and modify rights)
user2 1234 (read-only rights)
Please note: in case of problems while connecting to the reader via browser, try to clear the cache of
the browser.
1) First step: select “Tools” and then “Internet Options”
2) Second step: Press the button *Delete…”
