Communication Programming Instructions

1. Directly interact with the reader through the communication protocol of the reader/writer;
2. Can interact with readers through SDK secondary development;
3. Interaction between the supporting upper computer Demo and the reader/writer;

Upper computer testing steps:

1. After connecting the device, click on “Network Port Configuration” – find the selected network adapter port – click on “Search Device”.
2. After searching for the device, double-click to change the “IP address”, “network mode”, “target IP”, etc. of the device.
   After configuring the IP address, turn off the network port configuration, select “192.168.1.210 ” in the “serial port” bar, then change it to your own IP address, and click the “open button”.
3. If the connection is successful, the lower left corner will prompt that obtaining the firmware version is successful.
4. Configuració de paràmetres:
   1. Antenna working settings: Select the working channel that opens the antenna.
5. Power: Read and write power of 5-30dBm.
   1. Regional settings: frequency bands that are not very localized, （USA：902~928MHz） （China：920~925MHz）（Europe：865~868MHz）（Korea：910~914MHz）
   2. Inventory mode: Select the working mode of the reader/writer – it is recommended to use the fast read mode.

7. For more advanced feature settings, please refer to the UHF RFID Demo software operation manual.

Resolució de problemes comuns 

1. The power on indicator light is not on – first check if the power supply is reversed and if the voltage input is within the range of 9-36V DC.
2. Network connection failure – First check if the network port is connected, then search for the correct IP address input (see step 2 of the testing steps). If the input is correct but still cannot be opened, close the demo and try again.
3. Read card with no data thrown up – check if the antenna channel is opened correctly; Adjust the power level.

If the above issues cannot be resolved, please contact the relevant technical personnel.
