Using the UHF RFID Reader

Overview

The Optimus 5900 RFID terminal houses a UHF RFID reader that allows you to read multiple/single RFID
tags and read/write/lock/kill the memory of single tags

Tags that are read are displayed in the order in which they are read. The last read tag
displays at the top of the list. A maximum of 128 tags display at a time. The same tag's
UID may appear several times.
Tags display on the basis of their UID. If the UID of the tag does not exist, a new
registration is carried out. The tag's UID appears only once. The order of the tags
appears in the non-increasing order.
The terminal beeps whenever a tag is read. Adjust the volume of the beep by changing
the setting in Control Panel > Volume & Sounds.
If the Accumulated tab is selected, you may check the Continue box. If the box is not
checked, sound is generated only when a new tag is read except UID tags in the existing
list; thereby increasing the tag count.
Read
Selecting causes the terminal to read tags. This action is the same as pressing
and holding the trigger.
Selecting Read/Write opens the Read/Write Memory window. (See
page 5-3.)
Lock prevents reading of or writing to a tag. Kill makes a tag permanently undetectable.
(See Tag Lock/Kill on page 5-5.)
If All is selected, the tag count is the number of tags with different UIDs. If Accumulated is
selected, the tag count equals the number of tags in the list.
Stops the terminal from reading RFID tags.
