2.4 Connecting the Reader
The Max Faster GVR9040 reader gives priority to network interface for device communication. The
device is connected to the network device or PC via the dedicated communication cable as shown in
the following figure:
Figure 9 The Diagram of Equipment Connection
2.5 Reader-Backend Communication Procedure
The application flow of reader and upper computer at the backend is shown in the figure below:
The reader receives the control instructions from the upper computer;
The reader receives the instruction to carry out data processing and then returns the operation
result to the upper computer;
The reader processes the received response signal and presents the relevant tag data to the user.

Figure10 The Reader-Backend Communication Procedure
3 Operation
The reader supports the Low Level Reader Protocol (LLPR), but when carrying out equipment
function test, specific operation process is conducted as follows.
3.1 Equipment Connection
By default, the reader connects the device through the network cable. The default IP is 192.168.5.245.
For devices with modified IP, the changed IP is used to connect. If the IP address is forgotten, scanning
tool can be used to obtain IP address information.
When opening the upper computer for the first time, user need to select the network card which
corresponds to the local IP address of the same network segment. The upper computer should be
restarted for the configuration to take effect. Click “Scanning”, select the IP address of scanned device
or enter the IP address manually, then the reader is connected. After the upper computer is successfully
connected, the log info at the bottom will notify its connection success.

3.2 RF Configuration
The parameter configuration mainly involves the number of antennas, antenna No., transmitting power,
encoding mode, reverse data rate and the selection of fixed or hopping frequency. Each parameter has
a separate communication interface to facilitate testing. The specific configuration is described below.
3.2.1 Antenna Configuration
The reader supports maximal four antennas to work at the same time. The number of antennas and the
corresponding antenna port will be configured according to the actual application. Before configuring
the antenna, it is necessary to ensure that corresponding antenna port has been connected with the
antenna or is loaded. Otherwise, the antenna port will not open.

3.2.2 Transmitting Power Configuration
The reader supports the configuration and query of transmitting power ranging from 15dBm to
33dBm.
Figure 13 Transmitting Power Configuration
3.2.3 Frequency Configuration
The working frequency ranges from 902.75MHz to 927.25MHz. A total of 50 frequency points can be
set up and queried.
Figure 14 Frequency Configuration
3.2.4 Hopping Mode Configuration
Select frequency hopping as “Open” and click “Set up” to configure the reader to work in frequency
hopping mode. The default frequency hopping interval is 400ms, and the frequency hopping points are
50 frequency points from 902.75MHz to 927.25MHz. When the frequency hopping is selected as
“Close”, the reader works in fixed frequency mode, and its working frequency point is set by the
frequency point configuration.

3.2.5 Reverse Data Rate Configuration
The reader supports the decoding of tag response data in the reverse rate ranging from 64K to 640K.
The reverse data rate configuration tells the reader which reverse rate is currently in use for correct
decoding.
Figure 16 Reverse Data Rate Configuration
3.2.6 Encoding Mode Configuration
Reader is set to support decoding with FM0, specifically M2, M4 and M8 encoding data. The
encoding mode configuration is used to inform the reader current encoding mode for correct decoding.
Figure 17 Encoding Mode Configuration
3.2.7 Carrier Switch Configuration
When the carrier is turned on, the power can be output at the corresponding antenna port in
accordance with the previously configured transmitting power, provided that the corresponding port is
connected with the antenna or is loaded, otherwise it will be notified that the carrier fails to be turned
on.
Figure 18 Carrier Switch Configuration
3.3 Tag Inventory
Tag inventory is the core function of the reader. Tag inventory test can be carried out once the RF
parameters are configured as above. First switch to “Tag Inventory” page, then click “Inventory”. The
tag number, tag data, corresponding antenna port, inventory time and other data will then be reported.
The inventory result is shown in Figure 20.
