1Preliminary information
Before working with the controller, read the Operator's Manual and follow the instructions
contained therein!
Description of symbols used in this manual:
This symbol indicates an obligation to read
the appropriate place in the user manual, warnings and important
information. Failure to heed warnings may result in injury.
Important instructions and information.
Observing the texts marked with this sign facilitates operation.
The appearance of the screenshots shown in this manual may differ from their actual
appearance. Due to the continuous software development of the modules, some functions
may differ from those described in the manual. The manufacturer is not responsible for any
undesired effects resulting from software differences.
2Purpose of the device
Industry, services, commerce, logistics are just some of the industries where the reader can
be used. It can be used as a tool for logging into a machine, access to a room (warehouse),
an element of a loyalty system, a time recorder, etc. Using its own application or protocols
supported by the reader, the user can control practically every element of the reader -
display, buzzer, inputs, outputs. Thanks to the built-in memory, he also has access to the list
of logs stored in it.
The user can integrate the reader into his system using the protocols Modbus TCP/RTU, HTTP
client/server (HTTPS supported), SNMP.
Due to the built-in memory, the reader can operate autonomously without an external server.

5.2 Communication channels and general features
A general view of the module is shown below.
Communication with the module can be via LAN (WLAN) or RS485.
Various communication protocols are available for access to read the status and control of the
unit:
•built-in web server, using a standard web browser (preferred browser: CHROME),
•HTTP/HTTPS in server mode,
•HTTP/HTTPS in client mode,
•Modbus TCP,

•MQTT in client mode.
The reader supports SSL encryption, HTTPS, certificate control and emailing.
The module comes in versions with an LCD display or LEDs, which signal power and card
reading by default. The user can take control of the beeper, display or LEDs (depending on
the device model).
6Device configuration
On first start-up, it is necessary to configure the device.
This can be done in two ways. The simplest method is to use the Inveo Discoverer software.

User manual RFID RCP 2, v. 0,16
Module function Page 10 z 70 Table of contents
6.1 Changing the basic network settings - Discoverer programme
Download and install the Discoverer application. Once the application is launched, select the
appropriate network interface and press the Discover Devices button - all available Inveo
devices will be displayed.
On the selected device, press the right mouse
button and activate the network settings edit
window.
If Remote Config is disabled (enabled by default), it is necessary to configure the device, via
the built-in web server. This operation requires changing the subnet of the computer (chapter
6.2).
The Remote Config setting can be edited from the web server under the Administration tab.
Simply check/uncheck the Enable remote config option.
After the changes have been made, confirm them with the Save button.
6.2 Changing the subnet of the computer to be configured
When configuring the device without the Discoverer application, it is necessary to first change
the subnet address of the computer connected to the same network.
To do this, go to the network configuration of your computer:
Press Win + R, type ncpa.cpl and press Enter,
or
Start →Control panel →Network and Internet →Network centre
Network and Sharing →Change network adapter settings.
Select the network connection, press the right mouse button and click Properties.

When this option is selected, the configuration screen will appear:
Then select the "Internet Protocol (TCP/IP)" setting and enter the following parameters:
After accepting the settings with the OK button, start a web browser and enter the address:
192.168.111.15. (Default user and password: admin/admin).
