Readers.
This manual, the Spider Reader hardware and software are subject to change, make sure you have the latest version of this
manual, because the older versions may have become obsolete.
Function
The purpose of the Spider Reader is to read the unique ID contained in the card that is presented to the reader and transfer this
ID to a server. In most cases this data will be the card serial number. To facilitate this a variety of card reader software modules
have been developed. Our configuration tool will enable you to change the settings on the Spider Reader board.
Our reader can read Bluetooth Low Energy, 125KHz and 13,56 MHz Tags.

Software
For the Spider there is are tools available each with its specific features. Connect the Spider to a computer or laptop and present
a card to the reader. Please note that the reader needs to have the HID RAW Configuration. (See Inepro SCR-MCR-DCR RFID
Programmer Tool Full Version manual for more details).
Inepro SCR-MCR-DCR Programmer
With this tool it is possible to change the behaviour of the card reader, by creating or editing it's configuration file. For example it
is possible to change the read out of the RFID card but also the LEDs can be switched off or the volume of the beeper can be
changed. Once finished it is possible to store the created settings in a special config file which can be programmed via the SCR-
MCR-DCR RFID Programmer Tool. For more information regarding this SCR-MCR-DCR RFID Programmer Tool please consult it's
user manual. This tool was developed for the predecessors of the Spider Reader. Specific Spider Reader tools might be created
in a later stage.
