Getting Started 1.1 In the Package RFID Smart Reader Power Cord Power Adapter Fan-out Box (optional) RF Switch (optional) Note: The Fan-out Box and RF Switch work in combination to allow more antenna connections. One RFID Smart Reader can connect to one Fan-out box and four RF switches. 1.2 Introduction The WNC RFID Smart Reader (the Reader) is suitable for a variety of UHF RFID applications. It provides high level RF performance, a user-friendly software development interface and a cost competitive reader solution. Combined with a Newave Shelf Antenna, it can provide 100%
readability in zone sizes of 2x2x2 to 10x10x10 with appropriate reader parameters and antenna setup. You can also connect the Reader to a fan-out box and 1~4 RF switches to add additional antennas. A maximum of 16 antennas are allowed for one Reader. For multi-reader applications, such as retail applications, the Reader solution can efficiently compress data size and solve data traffic issues. Wistron NeWeb Corporation 2 1 Getting Started WNC RFID Smart Reader Basic application:
You can connect to up to four antennas and use a computer to monitor detected parameters. Advanced application:
Use the Reader with a Fan-out Box and an RF Switch to connect up to 16 antennas. Wistron NeWeb Corporation 3 1 Getting Started WNC RFID Smart Reader 1.3 Hardware Overview- RFID Smart Reader Front Panel Rear Panel Connect a standard RJ-45 Ethernet cable to the port to establish a network connection. This feature allows you to configure settings or read the data from the Reader on your computer via a Graphic User Interface. WAN port supports Power over Ethernet (PoE). Currently unavailable. Connect the power adapter to the Reader via this inlet to power on the Reader. For GPIO purposes such as connecting a Fan-out Box, light sensor or other sensors. WAN LAN DC IN GPIO Antenna Ports For RF cable insertion. The Reader supports up to four antennas at the same time. Additional connection is also possible via an optional antenna switch. Note: RJ-45 Ethernet cable and RF cable not included in the package. Wistron NeWeb Corporation 4 1 Getting Started WNC RFID Smart Reader 1.4 Hardware Overview- Fan-out Box OUTPUT For RF Switch connection. INPUT Connect to the GPIO port of the Reader. Device 1 & 2 Sensor data input/output ports for other applications, for example, connecting to entrance and exit sensors for security control. 1.5 Hardware Overview - RF Switch INPUT Connect to an OUTPUT port of the Fan-out Box. RF IN Connect to an antenna port of the Reader. ANT 1~4 For antenna connection. Wistron NeWeb Corporation 5 1 Getting Started WNC RFID Smart Reader 1.6 Connecting the Cables Basic installation:
1. Plug an RF cable into an antenna port and an antenna. The Reader supports up to four antennas at the same time. 2. Connect an RJ-45 Ethernet cable to the WAN port and to your computer for software development interface configuration. 3. Connect the power adapter to the DC IN inlet on the Reader. Once the power adapter is connected to the Reader, the Power LED indicator will turn green indicating the power is on. Note: Reader may be wall-mounted. Insert screws via the four holes on the left and right side of the Reader. Wistron NeWeb Corporation 6 1 Getting Started WNC RFID Smart Reader Installation with Fan-out Box and RF Switch:
Wistron NeWeb Corporation 7 1 Getting Started WNC RFID Smart Reader 1. Use an RF cable to connect an antenna port of the Reader to the RF IN port of the RF Switch, and then connect the antennas to the ANT1~4 ports of the RF Switch. 2. Use a DB9 cable to connect the GPIO port of the Reader and the INPUT port of the Fan-out box. Note: Only use a rollover type DB9 cable (not crossover type.) The cable must be shorter than 5m. 3. Use a DB9 cable to connect an OUTPUT port of the Fan-out Box to the INPUT port of the RF Switch. Note: Only use a rollover type DB9 cable shorter than 30m. 4. Connect the Reader to a computer. Attach the power supply to the Reader and plug it into a wall outlet. 5. You can also connect the Device1 & 2 ports to receive data from other devices such as sensors. Note: The Reader, Fan-out Box and the RF Switch may be wall-mounted. Insert screws via the four holes on the left and right side of them. 1.5 LED Status (RFID Smart Reader) Status Green LED Power Data Port 1 ~ 4 On:
