Interfaces Digital I/O Digital Inputs and Outputs (see appendix C). Host Connect to any serial port (COM) on your PC with RS-232 cable or to any other RS232 Terminal.
(3) Connect the reader to a LAN just like a PC (Ethernet cable & RJ-45 connectors) A direct Ethernet connection between a PC and “R-IN1300 MC” reader is also possible, with an Ethernet Cross Cable (supplied together with the reader). Refer to Appendix A for more details on how to do this.
After the reader is turned on for some time the temperature might increase. If you install more than one “R-IN1300 MC” with antenna, be sure to set *mi1 (modulation index 30%). Do not plug/unplug any connectors while the reader is turned ON.
The basic version of the reader, the so-called R-IN1300 MC SCM, can thus be upgraded to the more powerful version, the so called R-IN1300 MC. R-IN1300 MC SCM readers only use Antenna 1, Splitter and Rx and thus they can only be used in Single Channel Mode.

ONNECTING WITH THERNET ECOMMENDED The reader “R-IN1300 MC” can be connected to the LAN just like a PC (Ethernet cable & RJ-45 connectors). A direct Ethernet connection between a PC and “R-IN1300 MC” reader is also possible, with an Ethernet Cross Cable (supplied together with the reader). Refer to Appendix A for more details on how to do this.
“meaningless” in this context. In such cases relevant parameters are shown normally while “meaningless” parameters are masked/disabled. All parameters described in this manual refer to the High Frequency “R-IN1300 MC” with exception of the parameters contained in the “Combo Setup Panel” and “Advanced Setup Panel” which refer to the “Low Frequency Reader R-IN 7500”.
DATAMARS 5.3.3 L OGIN The interface running on the browser permits access to users only via login (user name & password): attempts to join the configuration- and monitoring tools directly via bookmarks are prevented from the system. A user trying to connect while the system is already occupied (i.e. by another user having logged in before) gets access in read-only mode thus preventing the configuration from being modified at the same time by more users.
DATAMARS 3) Third step: press the button “Delete” OGOUT The “administrator” can disconnect every session to the reader in case of suspect use of the GUI (i.e. a user is logged in for too much time monopolizing the system). The “administrator” must go to the URL: http://ip-address-of-the-reader/forceLogout.html and give her/his user password.
DATAMARS ETWORK ETUP ARM: 4.0.0 / DSP 2.1.4 Type: MC The “Network Setup” tab allows users to specify network parameters: IP address, sub-mask and default gateway. The IP address can be a fixed IP-Address (in this case the ip-address and port must be specified) or a dynamic one (DHCP) not available yet.
DATAMARS The “RS-232 Setup” allows users to specify the properties of the serial connection. The “Baud Rate” and “New Line” fields are implemented on the interface (PC or browser) as well as on the reader. The fields “Number of bits”, “Stop bits”, “Parity”, “Handshake” are implemented on the interface but not yet on the reader.

DATAMARS the ISO-15693 properties (see corresponding ISO-specification): Request/Response Data Rate • Modulation Type/ Modulation Index • Quiet Mode /Quiet Storage • Time Slots ISO/I-Code-1 • The “Channel Selection” field specifies which channel is selected between I-Channel and I/Q- Channel. Choose I-Channel with 3.5 m cables for best performance.
This Tab contains fields affecting the performance of the reader depending on the architecture of the installation. Those configuration-fields are reserved for technical purposes only and should NEVER be changed by customers. For more information please contact “Datamars – Support Team”.

Note: the system time and date must be set after each reboot of the reader.
DATAMARS UNING The noise-meter function only works in TableTop-Mode with ISO-15693 technology. It is therefore possible that your current configuration needs to be modified. It is recommended to save your current configuration into a file on your PC, to restore the default configuration on the reader, perform the needed measurements and in case reload your specific configuration.
