    5.1 Reader to Host Protocols 5.1.1 StxNG StxNG is the protocol used by the XC-RF300 reader to communicate with the host system. Upon start up, the XC-RF300 reader starts listening for incoming frames over Primary and Secondary TCP ports (default ports are ports 4000 and 4001.
  • Page 27 In such a case, the host system must first execute a specific command to identify itself before being allowed to send any other command. For more information about StxNG protocol and a complete command set description, please refer to XC-RF300 Designer’s guide.

    3) After waiting for a minute, open the bonjour browser software on the computer to query the IP of XC-RF300. 4) Under normal circumstances, you can find the IP of XC-RF300, as shown in the figure below. Figure 5.1：Bonjour browser...
  • Page 29 MAC and IP. Among them, the “Name” column “XC-RF300-01-CA-3C” indicates that the model of the reader is XC-RF300, and the “01-CA-3C ” indicates the last 3 segments of the MAC address of the reader. You can check the MAC on the silk screen on the bottom of the reader case and compare it with the MAC queried by bonjour browser to confirm whether it is the same reader.

  • Page 30: Reader Operation Principles

    5.2 Reader operation principles Most of the reader commands are executed in a synchronous manner. This means that the reader waits for an incoming request from the host, executes the associated operation then sends a reply containing operation execution status back to the host.
  • Page 31 Asynchronous read (or default read) can be activated or deactivated using the appropriate commands in the command set. During asynchronous read, the reader continuously tries to read all tags in the field. When a tag is detected, one or several read events are asynchronously pushed into an internal buffer (the event buffer).

  • Page 32: Notion Of Read Modes

    5.3 Notion of read modes During asynchronous read (or default read), the reader continuously tries to read all tags in the RF field. Several options can be applied that modify the reader’s behavior during asynchronous read: ● “Multiplexer”: If this mode is active, the reader uses the multiplexer instead of the default RF configuration for reading.
  • Page 33 Active input level (low or high) is software configurable. ● “Output feedback”: If this mode is active, the reader uses GPIO Outputs #2 to signal reading activity. GPIO Output #2 is activated when the reader “sees” tags in the RF field. The time an output remains active after the corresponding event has occurred is software configurable.

  • Page 34: Notion Of Events

    5.4 Notion of events During asynchronous read (or default read), the reader continuously tries to read all tags in the RF field. When a tag is detected, one or several events are pushed into an internal event buffer. Those events contain information such as the kind of event (see below), a timestamp, the channel on which the event occurred, the tag type and the associated tag data (UID, memory…).
  • Page 35 A user can register for one or several events at once, depending on the application requirements. For example, if a user registers for all events and a tag enters the RF field, stays in the field for some time, and then leaves the field, the sequence of events pushed into the event buffer will be: ●...
