  • Page 5: Introduction Readers

    Tags EPC Gen 2 tags are typically passive, which means that they draw power from the reader's electromagnetic field instead of having a battery. XT-1 and XT Mini support all UHF tags that comply with the EPC Gen 2 ®...

    Figure 3 shows two installations with side-mounted readers. A. XT Mini is optimal for parking access with moderate read range requirements. B. A side-mounted XT-1 can be used to cover a wide road. Figure 3 Side-mounted reader (A: XT Mini, B: XT-1)
  • Page 7 Typical tags do not work if they are mounted on metal or objects containing water. Metallized Figure 4 XT-1 radiation pattern windshields may prevent tag reading as they block radio waves. Most EPC Gen 2 tags have a donut shaped radiation pattern as shown in Figure 5. This means that the tags can be read not only when the front side is facing the reader, but also when the backside or long edges are facing the reader.

  • Page 14: Magstripe Timing

    Figure 13 Magstripe timing diagram (note: data low = logic one) Ethernet The reader has a 10 Mbps/100 Mbps Ethernet interface with one (XT Mini) or two (XT-1) ports. The interface supports auto crossover (Auto-MDIX) so that installation can be done using either patch cables or crossover cables.
  • Page 15: Rs232

    PC that is directly connected to a reader will usually get an IP address in this subnet automatically. The built-in Ethernet switch (XT-1 only) makes it possible to connect multiple readers in a chain. Figure 14 Readers connected in a chain using the built-in Ethernet switch The reader supports ICMP echo request/reply (ping) to simplify network troubleshooting.
  • Page 16: Rs485

    When using RS485 communication, correct termination of the interface should be considered in order to handle transmission-line effects. The XT-1 has a built-in option (DIP S301:3 ON) of 120 Ω termination on the receive side (to be used at each end of the RS485 chain), and an option (DIP S301:4-5 ON) of 620 Ω...

    XT-1/XT Mini Manual 13-111 05, 2015-08-14 OSDP (RS485) The reader supports the Open Supervised Device Protocol (OSDP) [4] for connection to access control systems. OSDP communicates over 2-wire RS485 and can therefore be used with long cables and does not require extra cables for LED and buzzer control. The DIP switch S301:1-2 must be set to ON to enable 2-wire mode on the reader.

    SecureMarkID tags and hexadecimal for other tags. TAGP (TCP/IP) TagMaster Readers can be controlled and monitored using a protocol called TAGP. The TAGP protocol is human readable and can be used over TCP/IP, RS232 and RS485. A terminal emulation program such as PuTTY is all that is required to interact with TAGP.
