ioTware Co., Ltd. Proprietary Chapter 4. Software Operation There are two ways to operate the U9-2000N UHF Reader. One is to operate the reader with directly received input and the other is the Machine-to-Machine(MtoM) mode, in other words, to operate automatically by the connected host or software which has been programmed in the middleware. In order to operate in MtoM mode, you need the program that is developed with the appropriate protocol which is discussed in chapter 6 and 7. The reader can be controlled using binary protocols (See chapter 7) for the provided program. It can also be controlled as the terminal form which is delivered in text format, while the reader connects through serial or TCP/ IP. User inputs commands directly to the keyboard (See chapter 6,Reader String Protocol). In this chapter, it describes how to control the reader by the program that uses binary protocols and also discusses how the user reads and writes the tags. 4.1 Execute the RFDEMO (PC Application Program) Turn the reader on while connects to the antenna(s). the booting finishes) It takes approximately 20~30 seconds for booting the reader. (The status LED blinks when Execute
(PC Application Program) 4.2 Connect the host PC with the reader through RS232C NOTICE: Check a serial connection of the Reader You need to choose the protocol type in the serial communication method that operates only one channel. The factory default setting will be the binary protocol which can be used. But if you have changed the serial protocol mode to string, it can only work with the terminal method. Therefore, check the next chapter for the serial connection. 2021-08-05
