INTRODUCTION 1.1 OVERVIEW The STARflex reader combines the high performance and real-time location capabilities of the STAR distributed excitation architecture with highly flexi-

ble new options for antenna topology and software integration. While suitable for use in both indoor and outdoor scenarios, STARflex is optimized for cost effective, easy-to-deploy solutions for enclosed environ-

ments such as real-time inventory management, ambulatory patient flow management and asset tracking in retail, healthcare and industrial scenar-

ios. Very high receiver sensitivity enables the STARflex to perform well in indoor applications where reflections from metal shelves, equipment and fixtures interfere with line-of-sight between the reader and the tag reducing read rates for other readers. OVERVIEW 4 CHAPTER I: INTRODUCTIONSTARflex MANUAL The STARflex software architecture is optimized for simplicity and resilience in order to enable fast deployment of robust distributed systems. For tag data, STARflex features native support for the lightweight MQTT device protocol. To simplify and speed integration, STARflex provides a RESTful API for control and status. Users can implement business logic software directly on the reader using this RESTful interface, or by using the modern and ubiquitous node. js web framework. Out-of-the-box the reader connects to ViZix.Mojix.com, enabling users to have their STARflex up and sending tag data into the cloud in minutes. An intuitive web interface simplifies configuration of individual readers. HIGH PERFORMANCE HARDWARE DESIGN Distributed excitation architecture scales efficiently to 48 antennas per reader Dual receivers provide the highest sensitivity available in a 4-port reader Compliant with EPC Gen2V2, ISO 18000-6c. TrueRTLS location precision when used with the Mojix RTLS MCON appliance FLEXIBLE SOFTWARE ARCHITECTURE RESTful API JSON and MQTT payload options Node.js support Support for local execution of user code via RESTful API or shell access (expert) Automatic phone-home registration process speeds Compatible with ViZix IoT software platform Easy automatic phone-home setup process out of the box Note: STARflex should be installed by Mojix trained professionals familiar with radio frequency equipment and regulatory requirements. To maintain regulatory compliance, use only antenna and cable supplied with the unit or approved by Mojix, and ensure that output power does not exceed regulatory limits. Caution: To comply with radio frequency exposure compliance requirements, a separation distance of 20 cm must be maintained between reader antennas and all persons.

While the process is running and the tags are being read, if the PLAY button (green) is clicked, the color changes to blue and the button becomes a PAUSE button, the STOP (red) and the CLEAR (blue) buttons are enabled, and the EXPORT button is disabled. The PAUSE button (blue) pauses the user interface only, the process is still reading the tags in background, once clicked its color changes to green with the PLAY button replacing the PAUSE one. The STOP (red), CLEAR and EXPORT buttons are enabled Clicking the STOP button will tell the STARflex to stop the RFID reads, it does not close the SSE socket previously opened with GET .../rfid/events. If the STARflex were to be subsequently commanded again to start reading tags, tag reads would be immediately delivered via all open SSE sockets. Clicking on the CLEAR button will clear all the results currently displayed. The EXPORT button will be enabled only when a program is stopped or paused and it will export all the displayed results at that moment in a CSV file. Besides the buttons, there are two autocomplete filters, EPC and TxID (only in detailed mode), that while the user is typing, the results will be automatically filtered. CHAPTER IV: TAG VIEWER TAG VIEWER 67 STARflex MANUAL Use a single wildcard as *, a blank space is a logical or: Example: 300 056 searches for pattern 300 or 056. Note that we do not use or as logical or. In addition, the column, where results are found, will have a distinctive mark:

TAG VIEWER 68 CHAPTER IV: MAKERSTARflex MANUAL If no results are found the following message will display:

Below the mentioned buttons and above the results table, a code wheel, the number of Rounds and the number of Unique EPCs are displayed. The Code Wheel allows the user to change the program (Basic and Advanced), it is disabled while the RFID program is running, once the program is stopped, the code wheel is enabled. The label next to the code wheel shall correspond to the following:

Clicking in the Code Wheel will open a new dialog box and it is possible to change the program between Basic and Advanced. For the advanced settings there is a list presented with the available program files resident in the STARflex. While running: Running Basic or Advanced: <filename>

While stopped: Stopped Basic or Advanced: <filename>

While paused: Paused Basic or Advanced: <filename>

TAG VIEWER 69 CHAPTER IV: MAKERSTARflex MANUAL In the results table there is a color code for the tag readings. The default background color is white. When a new tag comes in, it is displayed in a blue background. The background transitions to white are over 0.5 sec. When a tag is read but it has been displayed before, this tag is updated in place by painting the background green. The green background fades to white over 0.5 sec, for a tag that is read much faster than the 0.5 sec, that tag row essentially stays constant green. So it is easy to tell at a glance which tags are reading well or which tags may be only just reading. CHAPTER IV: TAG VIEWER TAG VIEWER 70 STARflex MANUAL Concurrent users When different users enter to the Tag Viewer section and START or STOP the tag reading, it is possible for them to see if another user is doing the same action. A message is displayed notifying that another user has started or stopped the reading and the corresponding buttons (PLAY and STOP) are enabled or disabled accordingly. When a user is in the landing page, the current status of the STARflex also changes accordingly, if an RFID program is running or not. Running will be displayed if a program is running, Idle if not.

figure the STARflex to the network that this is going to use. For this the following fields are available:

CHAPTER V: NETWORK SETTINGS 72 STARflex MANUAL Hostname: Always editable to set the hostname. DHCP: Three fields for DHCP are available, IP address, netmask and gateway. If the option to enable DHCP is selected, the fields will be disabled and the corresponding data will be auto populated. If DHCP is disabled, fields will be available to assign manually. Next to the field for the IP address there is a label for the temporary IP address which indicates the default IP address of the STARflex. DNS: Two entries for DNSs are available, if DHCP is enabled, these will be disabled with the corresponding data auto populated. After modifying the hostname, IP address, netmask, gateway, DHCP, or DNS, a reboot of the STARflex is required in order to apply the changes, so after modifying any of these fields a dialog with a message is displayed asking to reboot the STARflex. It is also possible not to restart the STARflex at the moment, in that case a message will remain at the top of the Network Settings page. Once the STARflex is rebooted, a new tab in the browser is displayed with the STARflex available and the new network values set. In case your new IP address or hostname is unreachable, it is necessary to check your configuration manually or contact your IT personnel. CHAPTER V: NETWORK SETTINGS NETWORK SETTINGS 73 STARflex MANUAL NTP: Single entry for NTPs is displayed and available to edit only when the option Enable NTP is selected.

October 7, 2016 Compatible Electronics TCB 114 Olinda Drive Brea, California 92823 Re: Professional Installation Gentlemen:

We, Mojix Inc., would like to declare that the product being certified requires professional installation.

Mojix confirms the following:

I) 2) 3) STARflex system is for industrial (warehouses) and commercial environments only. This system is used to read passive UHF RFID tags and has no use for the general public. Mojix sells this equipment through our network of RFID equipment dealers and directly to industrial clients. STAR flex is a complex system that comprises of a STARflex reader, eNodes, antennas, and a Master Controller (MCON). MCON is a Linux computer running Mojix software suite that controls and commands the STARflex network and interfaces with customer ERP systems. The only other way to command the STARflex system is to use a REST interface with Mojixs proprietary API. The STARflex installation requires that a site survey be carried out first at the customer site to assess the configuration of deployment as well as location of deployment. A site survey is conducted by the Mojix Professional Services group or Mojix trained professionals, such that the person is trained to understand electromagnetic wave propagation as well as the type of RFID tags used and the inventory the RFID tags are affixed to. Every customers environment is unique, hence the installation survey has to be done per installation. After the site survey, a professional installation company is hired to do the physical installation by the System Integrator. The installers are licensed to work in the environment where the equipment is being installed and have to know the safety and other requirements. The installers also have to be able to work with RF cables and have knowledge of antenna beam patterns to make sure that there are no blockages. Once the installation is complete, Mojix Professional Services group or trained partners send out trained field professionals to inspect the installation and commission the network. These field professionals have to be trained in operating and configuring Mojixs MCON. These professionals have to be able to work with Linux systems to setup the networking for the MCON but also configure each antenna with its location relative to the STARflex receiver. Once done, the system is turned on and the Professional Services field engineers check each antenna for proper connection and power levels. Once the network is operation any change to it is done only by Mojixs Professional Services group or a System Integrator that is trained by Mojix. RFID readers like the STARflex system are intended for industrial and commercial use only and are not intended for use by the general public. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact us at 310-479-9021.
