3. Reader Configuration
If the reader was not purchased in a kit SWEDGE, it is necessary to configure it to work with the
software.
STR-R35-B/x03-5X and STR-R32-B/x03-5X
These readers require no special configuration before use with SWEDGE. The reader reads the chip
serial number in hexadecimal and sends it to SWEDGE on UID tag format.
STR-W15-A/E01-5G and STR-W12-A/E01-5G
The factory default parameters of these readers are read/write. To work with SWEDGE, they must
be set to standalone. To do this, commands must be sent using a HyperTerminal.
Operating procedure:
•Open an Hyperterminal
•Connect the reader to configure
•Set the communication port:
oPort COM number
oBaudrate 9600 bds
oBits: 8
oStop Bit 1
oParity: none
•Send the three commands (hexadecimal value):
o\02\20\04\00\00\24\03 reader answer: \02\20\00\00\20\03
o\02\2E\01\00\00\2F\03 reader answer: \02\2E\00\00\2E\03
o\02\22\01\00\00\23\03 reader answer: none
•Checking: present a 125 KHz card on the reader, it must read continuously (beeps).
The reader reads the chip serial number (EM410x default chip) in hexadecimal and sends it to
SWEDGE on a 40 bits frame (5 bytes).

© STid –MU_SWEDGE_V1.11_EN 12
STR-W45-E/U04-5AA and STR-W55-E/U04-5AA
The factory default parameters of these readers are read/write. To work with SWEDGE, they must
be set to standalone.
We must send commands using an HyperTerminal or using the application SESpro.
Operating procedure to read EPC:
•Open an Hyperterminal
•Connect the reader to configure
•Set the communication port:
oPort COM number
oBaudrate 115200 bds
oBits : 8
oStop bit: 1
oParity: none

•Checking: present an EPC1 GEN2 card on the reader, it must read continuously (beeps).
The reader reads the chip serial number in hexadecimal and sends it to SWEDGE on a 96 bits frame
(12 bytes).

STR-R35-E/PH5-5AB, STR-R32-E/PH5-5AB, ARC-R35-G/PH5-5AB, ARCS-R35-G/PH5-
5AB et ARCS-R35-G/BT1-5AB
These readers are configurable with configuration card create with SECard.
Below are the parameters to select in SECard to configure the reader for operation with
SWEDGE:
•Select the type of reader R32 or R35
•Serial settings

•Configuring chip data to read: either UID in this case select for all chips UID and MSB First,
either Private ID.

ARC-R35-L/Le2-5AB
These readers are configurable by serial link with SEGiC.
Below are the parameters to select in SEGIC to configure the reader for operation with SWEDGE:
•Select the type of reader R35
•Reader communication protocol

© STid –MU_SWEDGE_V1.11_EN 17
ARC-W55-G/U04-5AA et ARC-W45-G/U04-5AA
These readers are configurable in SWEDGE by selecting the Reader Type: ARC UHF then
clicking on the ARC UHF Parameters button.
Make sure there are no tags near the reader during the setup phase.
SWEDGE Enroller mode is the main mode of use with SWEDGE software.
The " Encoder " mode allows to switch the reader to write mode for use with STid's SESPRO and
ULTRYS v2 softwares.
SWEDGE offers the ability to upload secure tag IDs (EPCs), which have been encoded with
ULTRYS v2 and encrypted with a 16-byte private key.
To enable SWEDGE to read and display these encrypted tags, simply select the "Enciphered"
option, and fill in the 16-byte private key.
The "Apply" button allows to apply the defined parameters to the reader (choice of "SWEDGE
enroller" or encoder mode and choice of EPC the secure mode).

4. Format settings
Protocol Custom
All parameters are to be set.
Choose the data type decimal or hexadecimal.
If activated, SWEDGE will do a return after each
reading.
If activated, SWEDGE not return the read code as it
will be identical to the preceding and during the
timing sets.
Selects if the SWEDGE truncates the data before
decimal conversion or after (only available if the data
type selected is DEC).
If activated, SWEDGE truncates MSB first instead LSB.
Size of the ID. In bits or in digits according the
configuration.

Predefined Protocol
The setting for the most common protocols has been predefined.
26-bits Wiegand –3i: Site code and card code are displayed in decimal and concatenated into the
text field.
Example: Card encoded with site code 001 et card code 255
For Wiegand 3i, Clock&Data 2H and 2B, the field Truncate is configurable to the needs.
Supplement by Left or Right
Used to force character(s) before or after the data to read.
