Prox'N'Roll RFID Scanner HSP

Getting Started Guide

SpringCard PMU18264-AA 2018/09

Overview

The Prox'N'Roll HSP RFID Scanner is a user-friendly contactless (NFC/RFID @13.56MHz) coupling
device.

An RFID Scanner is a device seen as a keyboard by the computer it is connected to. Therefore,
there is no need to install any driver, you just plug the Porx'n Roll RFID Scanner to your computer
and it will reach precise cards data and the computer receives these data as if someone was
typing them on a keyboard.

This document will guide you through exploring the available software for a successful start using
your Prox'N'Roll HSP RFID Scanner.

Important warning

The Prox'N'Roll HSP RFID Scanner uses a magnetic field to remotely power the contactless cards,
and communicate with them. Magnetic waves are distorted or absorbed by conductive materials,
including metal surfaces or shells. Also, the NFC/RFID communication is likely to be perturbed by
other radiating devices (such as displays, radio or wireless communication interfaces) in the
nearby. Place the Prox'N'Roll HSP RFID Scanner far from all sources of perturbations.

Before you begin

SpringCard aims at making contactless devices simple to use. Even so you will win time by reading

this guide before plugging the device to your computer.

Please visit the Prox'N'Roll HSP RFID Scanner’s web page to get up-to-date information regarding
the device and download the last version of all documentations:

Plug the coupler into a USB port

Plug the Prox'N'Roll HSP RFID Scanner into one of the computer’s USB ports.

Wait 10 to 120 seconds until the operating system activates the driver and enables the coupling
device.

Windows takes 10 to 120 seconds the first time you plug the coupling device into the computer
only. Afterwards, the coupling device will be activated in a couple of seconds.

Keep an eye on the device: the Prox'N'Roll HSP RFID Scanner blinks yellow until it has been
enabled by the computer.

As soon as the cyan light enters a smooth “breath” sequence, the device is ready!

Precautions

As a contactless coupler, the Prox'N'Roll HSP RFID Scanner needs a clean power supply to
remotely power the contactless cards, RFID labels or NFC tags. Do not try to operate the device
through a non-powered USB hub nor through a passive USB cable extender.

Verify that everything is OK

You need a (compliant) contactless card do pass this step. Use for instance a card from the NXP
MIFARE family, or any NFC Forum Tag.

SpringCard also offers contactless cards. Need a small assortment of various chips to start your
developments, or a large batch to issue many cards to your users? Just contact us:

https://www.springcard.com/en/products/cards-tags

Verify that the Prox'N'Roll RFID Scanner is seen as a keyboard on your computer

To do so you just need to make sure that when a contactless card, an NFC tag or an RFID label is
placed onto the Prox'n Roll HSP RFID Scanner the informations contained in the card appears on
your computer and you should hear a beep from the device meaning that the card has been “read”
by the Prox'n Roll HSP RFID Scanner.

You can also go to the Device Manager in the Control Panel of your computer and browse the
Prox'n Roll HSP RFID Scanner in the device tree. Then go to input devices and standard keyboard.

Congratulations, your Prox'N'Roll HSP RFID Scanner is ready to work with!

FAQ

The device shows à, é, “, - etc… instead of numbers

It means that your Prox'n Roll HSP RFID Scanner is in QWERTY and not AZERTY. To modify this you
need to take a look at your Device configuration (page 5)

The device shows numbers instead of @, ),-

It means that your Prox'n Roll HSP RFID Scanner is in AZERTY and not QWERTY.

The device does not light at all / The device keeps blinking yellow

Verify that the driver has been correctly installed. Plug the device directly into one of the
computer’s USB port and not through a hub or cable expender.

The Prox’N’Roll lights blue, not cyan – it is not listed by the OS as a keyboard (Human Interface
Device) but as a PC/SC coupler

Your device is a Prox’N’Roll PC/SC, not a Prox’N’Roll RFID Scanner. More details here:

https://www.springcard.com/en/learning/reader-or-coupling-device

The device beeps but nothing appears on my computer

It means that your Prox'n Roll is a Prox'n Roll PC/SC HSP and not a Prox'n Roll HSP RFID Scanner

The device does not ‘see’ my contactless card

Verify that your card is in the compliance list (basically: compliant with ISO/IEC 14443-3 or
ISO/IEC 15693-3 or a NFC Forum Tag).

Verify that this card technology is enabled in the configuration (see page 5).

Verify that your card is physically compliant with the coupler’s RF field level and sensitivity
(basically: card’s antenna compliant with ISO/IEC 14443-1, card validated with ISO/IEC 10373-6 or

-7).

Contacting support

To contact SpringCard technical support, please go to:

https://www.springcard.com/en/contact?request=support

For a fast and efficient processing of your support requests, please provide accurate information
on the environment (contactless card, operating system, driver version, firmware version, etc)
and all details you have on the issue itself.

Going further – Device configuration

The Prox'N'Roll HSP RFID Scanner is highly configurable. Out-of-factory settings cover most of the
use cases immediately, but advanced users may prefer to load a custom configuration into the
device. For instance, it is possible to switch off the sound (beeper) or to disable some protocols,
to silently ignore certain contactless cards.

To edit the configuration of the Prox'N'Roll HSP RFID Scanner, download and install MultiConf
(part number SN14007):

https://www.springcard.com/en/download/find/file/s n14007

MultiConf is available only on Microsoft Windows, but once the device has been configured, its
settings are preserved when connecting to another operating system.
