SNAGOMA-MSMA / Multi-Standard, Multi-Antenna Reader-Writer Module
1. Short description
Power supply
USB : 5V (+0,25V-0,6V) via Mini USB Connector and cable
Note: it is recommended to use a clip on ferrite on the USB cable on module side.
Operating temperature: -20°C to 85°C
Storage temperature: -20°C to 85°C
Supported 13,56MHz RF standards
ISO/IEC 14443 – ASK modulation
ISO/IEC 15693 – ASK modulation (support depends on used RF frontend derivative)
USB host communication (via VCP Virtual COM port)
Antenna connection:
twisted tree wire cable with three pin gold plated JR header and connector on Sangoma MSMA module.
Short functional description:
Once the reader device is connected and USB power is available, the device boots up. The RF field remains
switched OFF. The reader firmware has reader and RFID tag related commands implemented.
If a tag command is sent to the specified antenna port the respective channel will be activated, the RF field is
switched on for the duration of the tag processing and will be automatically switched off after the tag
response has been received.
The two on board status LEDs (RED/GREEN) are disabled per default after booting the device and need to be
switched on by using the “DO” command as described in the SANGOMA-MSMA user manual.
Reader module related commands do not switch on the RF field. For the full set of available commands please
refer to the SANGOMA-MSMA user manual.

2. Module and antenna installation
2.1 Physical dimensions
Outer dimensions 52mm (2,05 inch) x 50 (2,97 inch)
Mounting holes (diameter 3mm/0,012inch).
´
Mount the module properly into the end device.
Mounting holes are connected to system ground – it is recommended to connect at least
one mounting whole to the end-device´s system ground.
Connect the antenna(s) to the respective channels (1-4) one the module as shown in chapter
“connecting antennas”
Note: the connector is symmetrical and the connector direction (0° or 180°) do not have
influence on functionality or RF compliance. The antennas are connected with an unshielded
3 wire twisted cable of a length from 10 cm up to 200cm. Standard cable length are 60 and
75 cm.
Attach power to the module via a (Mini) USB cable to the end device´s application host
– it is recommended to apply a click on ferrite on the USB cable on module side.
