1. Introduction
This operation manual describes the installation, construction of screens and operation method of the I/O
configurator for NFC. The SMC wireless system I/O Configurator for NFC can be used to check the parameter
setting of the wireless unit and the contents and status of the constructed wireless system, using an NFC
reader/writer and a PC.
There are two types of settable parameters with the I/O Configurator: the parameters which can be read or
written when no power is supplied to the product and the parameters which can be read or written only
when the power is supplied to the product.
The connection details of the I/O Configurator for NFC and the wireless unit is shown in the below figure.
※One PC will recognize one NFC reader / writer per application setting.
Do not connect multiple NFC readers / writers to a PC.
Connection details of the I/O Configurator for NFC and the wireless unit
Before the wireless system can be used, it is necessary to pair each Remote with its Base using the
I/O configurator for NFC.
The following sections of this document should be read before using the I/O configurator for NFC;

: About the communication timing
The NFC communication is not accessed all the time. Therefore, it is necessary to update the contents displayed on
the screen by clicking the "Refresh button" when reading the parameters. The parameters changed are valid after
re-supplying the power supply or by pressing the reset button in the I/O Configurator screen. As the parameter
setting requires time for settlement, do not turn off the power supply for 2 seconds.
: Establishing communication after changing units
As the settings between the Wireless Base unit and the Wireless Remote unit are different, it is necessary to update
the displayed parameter by clicking the "Refresh button" on the screen of the I/O Configurator for NFC after changing
the unit in which the parameter is set.
