uPASS Reach
1 INTRODUCTION
The uPASS Reach reader offers long range vehicle identification up to 4 meters using the latest UHF technology.
Based on battery free passive UHF the uPASS Reach reader offers a cost effective and enduring solution for
parking access.
The system is based on a uPASS Reach reader and an UHF tag. The readers are installed next to the gate on a
maximum height of 2 meters. The reader is the perfect cure to the problems characteristic of prox and it's ideally
suited for upgrading those installations as the reader can easily be installed on a gooseneck with no need for
additional mounting or rewiring.
The reader output allows the access control or parking system to open the gate when authorized without the
need to present a badge. The built-in high intensity LED provides the user visual feedback that the tag has been
read.
1.1 OVERVIEW
The picture below shows a simplified overview of the components in the reader. The uPASS Reach reader
contains an UHF antenna, UHF processor and an additional backwards compatible processor.

The backwards compatible processor supports existing communication protocols already implemented for the
TRANSIT system. Therefore no additional integration effort is required.
Note: The backwards compatible processor only operates with NEDAP UHF XS formatted tags.

1.2 SUPPORTED TAGS
Any EPC Class 1 Gen 2 tag is supported by the uPASS Reach.
NEDAP formatted UHF tags can have the following formats:
• NEDAP UHF Wiegand tags
These tags will contain all wiegand information including facility code and parity bits. All wiegand formats
can be supported. The reader transparantly sends this information via the wiegand outputs. There is no
need to change any DIP-switches or configuration settings. See chapter 3.4.1 for wiring details.
Note: The wiegand output format is determined by the tag and not by the reader.
• NEDAP UHF Magstripe tags
These tags will contain all magstripe information. The reader transparantly sends this information onto the
magstripe interface. There is no need to change any DIP-switches or configuration settings. See chapter 3.4.1
for wiring details.
Note: The magstripe output format is determined by the tag and not by the reader.
• NEDAP UHF XS tag
These tags are especially programmed in the same format as our 2.45GHz AVI tags (Compact-Tag, WindowButton and Heavy-Duty-Tag). The tags will also have an customer-code and id-number. The reader will
automatically transmit the tag-info to the backward compatible processor.
Note: When using the backwards compatible processor make sure the compatiblity mode DIP-switch is
set correctly (see chapter 4.1 on page 20).
Non-nedap formatted EPC Class 1 Gen 2 tag are supported, but only using the RS232/422 or USB interface.
1.3 TAG SECURITY
EPC (Electronic Product Code) tags were introduced as a possible successor to the barcode with added
functionalities. The tag emits its EPC in plain text. This makes the tags vulnerable to cloning and counterfeiting
attacks. Unlike many 13MHz smartcards, EPC tags do not support any DES, 3DES or AES encryption.
EPC tags contain a data field known as the Tag Identifier (TID). At the discretion of the EPC manufacturer, the
value may be factory programmed and locked, ensuring that tags have a unique identity and (theoretically)
cannot be cross-copied. This TID based anti-cloning mechanism is not considered to be a strong protection.
NEDAP UHF tags support a locked serialized TID and the uPASS Reach reader can be configured to read the TID
data field.
In addition NEDAP has also implemented an advanced anti-cloning and anti-counterfeiting method based upon
a two way authentication. This feature is supported in combination with all NEDAP UHF tags. See also chapter 7.
By default the uPASS Reach reader is configured to read any EPC tag.
We encourage customers to enable the TID-check or the two way authentication. But also advise not to
completely rely on these methods in high-security applications.

3.4.4 RS232 CONNECTION
The uPASS Reach reader has an on-board RS232 interface for communication with a host system or for
configuring reader settings.
By default the RS232 interface is connected to the UHF processor. This is required when using the UHFtool
software. It is advised to use this tool to configure the reader. Software developers can find the RS232
communication protocol description in the firmware manual.
The RS232 interface can also be connected to the backwards compatible processor. This offers users a
compatible interface with the TRANSIT reader. The communication protocol, baud rate, data format and flow
control depend upon the firmware in the backward compatible processor (e.g. P61 or Q70). See separate
documentation.
Connections:
Receive data (input)
Ground
Transmit data (output)
Note 1: The RS232 interface is disabled while the USB interface is in use !!!
Note 2: Enable the on-board RS232 interface by setting DIP-switch SW1-2 to ON. See chapter 4.1 for details.
Note 3: Optionally select the backward compatible processor with DIP-switch SW1-1.
Note 4: Maximum cable length of 15 meters (50 feet) or the cable length equal to a capacitance of 2500pF.
Note 5: The RS232 interface does not support any hardware handshake signals.
