The result of *riUID is “UID Text” (separated by a space) where Text is the content of the memory of the specified chip. Example: Command:*riE004010007EFD128 Reply: E004010007EFD128 ThisIsText The specified chip must be and remain within the magnetic field! R-IN1300 MID Manual – v. 1.2 – August ‘08 9 (29)

“UID status”-couples where: status = ‘OK’: success status = ‘Out of memory’ status = ‘Error’ status = ‘Tag not in field’ The chips must be and remain within the magnetic field! R-IN1300 MID Manual – v. 1.2 – August ‘08 10 (29)
RAPHICAL NTERFACE The new R-IN1300 MID has 2 modes of operation: one RS-232 ASCII interface based on a terminal (i.e. MS HyperTerminal) and another with a graphical user interface. For more details on the ASCII RS-232 interface refer to the specific chapter 4.6.
Otherwise the system will try to connect to the WWW to download the plug-in. In this case, follow every installation step always accepting the defaults suggested by the system. R-IN1300 MID Manual – v. 1.2 – August ‘08 12 (29)
Then select the COM-Port and Baud-Rate of your terminal which must correspond to the Baud-Rate of the reader. In case of malfunction of the serial communication, try reducing the Baud-Rate of the reader and then reconnect. R-IN1300 MID Manual – v. 1.2 – August ‘08 13 (29)
The default accounts are defined as follows, passwords can be changed. User Names Default Passwords admin Admin (read, modify and administrative rights ) user1 1234 (read and modify rights) user2 1234 (read-only rights) R-IN1300 MID Manual – v. 1.2 – August ‘08 14 (29)
(DHCP) not available yet. After having changed the IP-Address, the browser must be closed and a new login must be done using the new IP-Address of the reader. R-IN1300 MID Manual – v. 1.2 – August ‘08 15 (29)
The “Inter Code Delay” field specifies how much time (in sec/100) must be awaited between the sending of two subsequent UIDs. The “Code Length” field specifies the length and format of the sent UIDs. R-IN1300 MID Manual – v. 1.2 – August ‘08 16 (29)
The “Reverse Order” field specifies the representation of the UIDs: Reverse Order Off : Uids are not reversed Reverse Order On : Uids are reversed R-IN1300 MID Manual – v. 1.2 – August ‘08 17 (29)
The “Collision Threshold” field is a highly complex parameter. It is recommended to set it to 33. The “Receiver Gain” field specifies the sensitivity of the reader’s input ( 0: less sensitive 3: most sensitive). 4.11 C ONFIGURATIONS R-IN1300 MID Manual – v. 1.2 – August ‘08 18 (29)
At this point a small pop-up window opens automatically. It shows the UID of the selected chip, its related current text and an input field where a new text can be defined (see picture below). R-IN1300 MID Manual – v. 1.2 – August ‘08 19 (29)

These reading/writing operations are allowed with both the RS232 and Ethernet GUIs. Because of technical reasons when using the RS232 GUI, it is first necessary to stop the reading process by clicking the stop-monitoring button. Afterwards proceed according to the description above.

First of all select the tab named "Firmware Update" and select the file containing the new software (delivered by Datamars SA) using the navigator and then press the “Install File”-button. The new software is now transferred (copied) from the PC to the reader. A slider tells about the transferring-process status.

Click the “Use the following IP address” radio-button and specify an IP in the same range of the readers IP (i.e. 192.168.1.1), the subnet-mask (255.255.255.0). You can ignore the “Default Gateway”. Leave the configuration tool confirming by clicking the OK button. R-IN1300 MID Manual – v. 1.2 – August ‘08 27 (29)
The reader returns 12 digits code in the fashion of “cl2”, but in this case the first (left) chapter ranges from “G” to “Z” instead of from “0” to “F”. With this format it is not possible to guaranty the uniqueness of the codes ! R-IN1300 MID Manual – v. 1.2 – August ‘08 28 (29)
