1 Introduction

Readers

XT Mini, XT-1, XT-5 and XT-5 ETC are RAIN RFID readers that are compliant with EPC Gen 2 and ISO 18000-63. XT Mini and XT-1 has a single integrated antenna. XT-5 has one integrated antenna and support for one external antenna. XT-5 ETC supports up to four external antennas. The readers are tailored for automatic vehicle identification applications such as parking, gated communities, and road tolls. As such, the readers are designed for outdoor use and support a large number of interfaces and protocols.

RAIN RFID readers operate in the 860-960 MHz UHF frequency range. To support varying global regulations, the readers come in two versions: EU that operates in the 865-868 MHz range and US that operates in the 902-928 MHz range. Both versions can be configured to work in multiple regions within the respective frequency band.

While XT Mini and XT-1 have fixed firmware, XT-5 and XT-5 ETC have a user-programmable Linux system. See "XT-5 / XT-5 ETC Developers Manual" [1] for more information.

Tags

RAIN RFID tags are typically passive, which means that they are powered by the reader's electromagnetic field instead of having a battery. TagMaster's XT readers support all RAIN RFID tags. Specifically, the readers support the SecureMarkID® tags developed by TagMaster to ensure that each tag has a truly unique identity that is difficult to clone.

SecureMarkID

RAIN RFID was originally not developed for access control and therefore has a few weaknesses in these applications. Even if all modern tags have a unique ID, this is often too long for existing access control systems and tags cannot be bought with the IDs in sequence. User-programmed tags can often be cloned by anybody with access to a RAIN RFID reader.

To address this issue, TagMaster has developed the SecureMarkID® format that uses an encryption algorithm and non-writeable parts of the tags to create a unique 9-digit ID that works well with access control systems, can be bought in sequence, and is difficult to clone. It is recommend to only use SecureMarkID® tags with the reader.

2 Installation

Safety Instructions

The following safety instructions should be observed during installation, normal use, and service.

 Installation and service should only be done by qualified personnel.  Shields of cables should be connected to safety ground.  The reader must be disconnected from all voltage sources before any installation or service work.

Capacitors inside the reader can hold their charge even if the equipment has been disconnected from all voltage sources.

 Do not modify any part of the product. Repair is to be performed by TagMaster only.  Where local regulations exist, these are to be followed. The safety information in this manual is a

supplement to local regulations. It is the responsibility of the local project manager to make certain that local regulations are known and followed.

Reader and Tag Placement

Figure 1 shows some typical installations for the XT-1, XT-5 and XT-5 ETC readers:

A. Single lane parking entrance. The reader is directed to read windshield or headlight tags. B. Multilane parking entrance. To minimize the risk for cross reads, the readers/antennas are mounted

above the cars and the cars are equipped with windshield or headlight tags.

C. Access control (at the gate) and vehicle identification (at the weighbridge). The trucks are equipped

with ISO card tags that are mounted in a holder on the windshield and read from the side.

D. Traffic control. Readers are used to enable a green wave for buses.

Figure 1 XT-1 installations

Figure 2 shows two installations with side-mounted readers.

A. XT Mini is optimal for parking access with moderate read range requirements. B. A side-mounted XT-1 or XT-5 covers a wide road.

13-111 P11D, 2017-10-03 XT Series Reader Manual

The reader's radiation pattern or read lobe (the region where the reader can read tags) is shaped like a balloon in front of the reader as shown in Figure 3. The maximum read range is obtained when the tag is at the tip of the balloon. At or close to this point, the width of the balloon is very small, which means that the tag has to be accurately positioned to be read. It is recommended to mount the reader such that the tag can be read at the widest part of the balloon which is at around 60-70% of maximum read range. If required, the maximum read range can be reduced as described in section 4.3.1.

The reader should be mounted such that there is free sight between the reader and the tag. Radio waves from the reader cannot pass through metal or objects containing water (such as humans). Metallic objects close to the reader may cause reflections that can significantly reduce the read range.

Different tags have different mounting requirements. ISO card tags are generally optimized for free air and - if used in a car - should be mounted in a card holder that creates an air gap between the tag and the windshield. Windshield tags must be mounted on the windshield for optimal performance. Typical tags do not work if

Figure 3 Reader radiation pattern

they are mounted on metal or objects containing water. Metallized windshields may prevent tag reading as they block radio waves.

Most RAIN RFID tags have a donut shaped radiation pattern as shown in Figure 4. This means that the tags can be read not only when the front side is facing the reader, but also when the backside or long edges are facing the reader. If the tag is turned such that one of the short edges is facing the reader, the read range drops rapidly.

If the reader is mounted beside the car, the tag should be mounted with the donut lying as shown in the left part of Figure 4. Note that the tag can be mounted in the windshield and read when the long edge of the tag is facing the reader. If the windshield is metallized, the tag can be mounted in the side window or on the front of the B-pillar (with a suitable holder creating a distance from the metal). A side-mounted reader together with a tag with a lying donut can be used to cover a wide road as shown in Figure 2 B.

If the reader is mounted above or in front of the car, the tag should be mounted with the donut standing as shown in the right part of Figure 4. In a multilane installation (Figure 1 B) it is recommended to mount the tags like this with the reader above the car to reduce the risk of cross reads. If the windshield is metallized, a transparent tag can be mounted on the headlight.

Mounting Instructions

Mount the reader in a horizontal position with the cable glands down. Study the installation examples and radiation patterns in section 2.2 to determine the optimal placement of readers and tags in your installation.

2.3.1 Universal Mounting Kit (UMK)

The UMK (TagMaster part. no. 193600) makes it easy to mount the reader in a wide variety of positions and angles. The kit contains all parts needed to mount the reader on a wall or a pole. The kit is designed and suitable for outdoor use. See separate datasheet [1] for more details in on installation.

2.3.2 Dimensions

Reader dimensions are shown in Figure 6 (XT-1/XT-5/XT-5 ETC to the left, XT Mini to the right).

Cable Connections

2.4.1 XT Mini

In XT Mini, cables should be connected through the two M16 cable glands. A cable tie should be used to guide the wires when the lid is closed. Make sure to use cables with flexible wires. It is recommended to use the left cable gland for Ethernet connections and the right cable gland for other connections. An example with power, Ethernet and RS485 connections is shown in Figure 7.

Figure 7 XT Mini with power, Ethernet and RS485 connections

2.4.2 XT-1

In XT-1, cables should primarily be connected through the central M20 cable gland. This cable gland can be used with one cable (Ø 6-12 mm) or two cables (Ø 2-6 mm) using the supplied insert. As an alternative, one or more of the four M16 blind plugs can be replaced with cable glands. Use shielded flexible cables with stranded wire. Ground the reader chassis using the grounding screw.

Table 4 Ethernet connection overview

All IP settings can be changed under Settings…/Interfaces…/Ethernet in the web interface. A reboot is required to activate new settings.

For XT Mini and XT-1, the reader's default IP address and subnet mask can be found on a label on the backside of the reader. The default address is on the format 10.x.x.x and the subnet mask is 255.0.0.0.

The XT-5 and XT-5 ETC readers are by default configured to get IP settings from a DHCP server. If no DHCP server is available, these readers will auto-assign an IP address in the range 169.254.x.x/16.

For convenience, it is possible to force the reader to use a fixed IP address by setting SW_DIP/S101:3 to ON before starting the reader. The IP address will then be 169.254.1.1 and the subnet mask 255.255.0.0. A PC that is directly connected to a reader will usually get an IP address in this subnet automatically.

A reader discovery tool is available at ftp://partner:[email protected]/Vigilant. This tool can find readers on a local network even if their IP settings are completely incorrect. The readers can then be restored to factory defaults and their IP settings can be configured. XT-5 and XT-5 ETC also support UPnP and Bonjour (mDNS/DNS-SD). These protocols make the readers visible under Network in Windows Explorer and under Bonjour in Apple Safari.

XT-1, XT-5 and XT-5 ETC have a built-in two-port Ethernet switch which enables chaining of readers.

Figure 11 Readers connected in a chain using the built-in Ethernet switch

The readers support ICMP echo request/reply (ping) to simplify network troubleshooting. By default, ping beep is enabled which means that the reader beeps when it receives a ping packet. Ping beep can be used to identify which reader that has a specific IP address or to determine if ping packets get lost on the way to the reader or from the reader. Ping beep can be disabled using the web interface.

The reader can work as a TCP server and/or TCP client. As a client, the reader automatically connects to a specified TCP server when it has data to send. The IP address and port of the server and the protocol to use can be configured under Settings…/Interfaces…/Ethernet in the web interface. Supported protocols are Push and TAGP. As a TCP server, the reader supports several protocols, including TAGP.

Wiegand/Magstripe

The readers have one or two Wiegand/Magstripe interfaces. XT Mini and XT-1 have one interface. XT-5 and XT-5 ETC have two interfaces (A and B) that can be configured as a single interface using IF_DIP:7 if a card load signal is needed. With dual interfaces, tag reads from different antennas are sent to different interfaces. Tag reads from antenna 1 (the internal antenna in XT-5) are sent to interface A.

Table 10 RS485 connection overview

The hardware supports 2-wire (IF_DIP/S301:1-2 ON) and 4-wire communication, half duplex and full duplex as well as multi-drop. When using RS485 communication, correct termination of the interface should be considered in order to handle transmission-line effects. The readers have a built-in option (IF_DIP/S301:3 ON) of 120 Ω termination on the receive side (to be used at each end of the RS485 chain), and an option (IF_DIP/S301:4-5 ON) of 620 Ω bias on the receive side (to be used at one node in the RS485 chain). The options using DIP switches are detailed in Figure 15 and also described in section 3.15.

With factory default settings, the reader should always be configured in 4-wire mode (IF_DIP/S301:1-2 OFF) since the TAGP protocol requires a full-duplex link. Other protocols require different settings.

The cable for the RS485 interface must be a twisted pair cable and conform to the EIA RS485 standard.

The inputs are activated by a current flow and the input impedance is 1 kΩ. A schematic view of an input is shown in Figure 16.

INPUTS:IN2− Input 2 negative terminal INPUTS:IN3− Input 3 negative terminal

Figure 16 Input schematic

The first two inputs can be used to control the green and red LED from an external access control system to indicate if access has been granted or denied. The third input can be used as a read enable/disable input. This input can be connected to an external presence detector such as an inductive loop to make sure that the reader only reads tags when a vehicle is present.

All inputs have a debounce filter that is enabled by default. When the debounce filter is enabled, short pulses on the inputs are ignored. Pulses must be at least 20 ms to guarantee that they are detected. The polarity of the inputs can be inverted to cope with signals that are active high or active low.

The read enable/disable input can be configured to work in different modes. "Read time" is used to specify how long time reading should be enabled after it has been activated by the input. If read time is zero, reading is enabled as long as the input is active. The "Abort after read" setting can be used to abort reading after a single tag has been read (read time must be non-zero for this setting to have any effect). The "Indicator" setting is used to specify the colour of the LED when reading is enabled.

All input settings are available under Settings…/Interfaces…/Inputs in the web interface.

Light and Sound

Reader antennas (built-in and external) have a bright multi-colour LED indicator. The LED indicator can show when a tag has been read and if access has been granted or denied.

A built-in buzzer can give an audible indication when a tag has been read or settings have been changed.

4 Configuration

Web Interface

The readers have a web interface for configuration and maintenance. The web interface is designed and tested to work with modern versions of Google Chrome and other web browsers.

Figure 18 Web interface with expanded menu

Connect to the web interface by entering the reader's IP address in the web browser's address bar. For XT Mini and XT-1, the reader's default IP address and subnet mask can be found on a label on the

backside of the reader. The default address is on the format 10.x.x.x and the subnet mask is 255.0.0.0. The XT-5 and XT-5 ETC readers are by default configured to get IP settings from a DHCP server. If no DHCP server is available, these readers will auto-assign an IP address in the range 169.254.x.x/16.

For convenience it is possible to force the reader to use a fixed IP address by setting SW_DIP/S101:3 to ON before starting the reader. The IP address will then be 169.254.1.1 and the subnet mask 255.255.0.0. A PC that is directly connected to a reader will usually get an IP address in this subnet automatically.

If the PC does not have an IP address that is in the same subnet as the reader it is necessary to change the PC's address. In Windows 7, this is done using "Network and Sharing Center" in "Control Panel". Click on "Local Area Connection", "Properties", "TCP/IPv4", and "Properties". Select "Use the following IP address" and fill in "IP address" and "Subnet mask".

Note that the web interface may look slightly different depending on the version of the firmware in the reader. Up-to-date documentation is always available under "Documentation" in the web interface menu.

Region

To meet different radio regulations around the world, the reader can be configured to work in different regions. Each reader model comes in two versions: EU and US. Each reader version supports a number of regions as listed in the table below. Default values are shown in bold.

The region can be changed under Settings…/RF/EPC Gen 2 in the web interface.

Table 15 Supported regions

Tag Reading

By default, the reader reads tags with maximum read range and outputs tag data in a way that is suitable for most applications. If necessary, the tag reading process is highly configurable. Most settings controlling tag reading are available under Settings…/RF/EPC Gen 2 in the web interface.

RAIN RFID readers manage tag populations using the three basic operations: select, inventory, and access. The reader automatically performs all of these when the "Carrier" setting is on. The tag reading process is show in Figure 20 and described in the following sections.

4.3.1 Carrier and Read Level

The "Carrier" setting is used to enable/disable reading. When Carrier is on (default) the reader reads tags. The "Read level" setting controls the read range. The default value 100 corresponds to maximum read

range.

4.3.2 EPC Select

The "EPC select" setting defines which tags the reader will talk to. Selection is done by specifying a binary value and a part of tag memory that must match the value. Only tags that match will respond to the reader's query. The default value "*" selects all tags.

4.3.3 EPC Memory Bank/Custom Format

The settings "EPC memory bank" and "EPC custom format" specifies which parts of the tag memory that will be read by the reader. Available options include EPC/SecureMarkID (default), SecureMarkID, EPC, TID and "Custom Format".

If "EPC memory bank" is set to "Custom Format" the "EPC custom format" setting specifies which parts of the tag memory that will be read.

4.3.4 Tag Filter

The tag filter (under Settings…/Tag Filter in the web interface) specifies how often tags are reported. Tags can be reported every time they are read, periodically or once. It is also possible to get a tag event when a tag is no longer read by the reader. It is possible to activate read beep and read blink to get an indication every time a tag is reported.

Page 25 of 36

Page 26

XT Series Reader Manual 13-111 P11D, 2017-10-03

The TAGP protocol reports tag events as they come out of the tag filter.

4.3.5 Data Selection

The "Data selection" settings (under Settings…/Data Selection in the web interface) specifies how the read data shall be interpreted (binary, hexadecimal or decimal) and also makes it possible to select a part of the data (number of digits with a left or right aligned offset).

Reader protocols with binary output reports data as it comes out of this stage.

4.3.6 Data Format

The "Data Format" settings (under Settings…/Data Format in the web interface) specifies the output format for data that is pushed to RS232, RS485, TCP Client, and the built-in access controller.

Firmware Upgrade

Download the latest firmware from ftp://partner:[email protected]/Vigilant/Firmware. Go to the “Reboot/Upgrade” page on the web interface, check “Start boot loader” and press the “Reboot”

button to start the boot loader. In the boot loader, press “Choose File” and choose the downloaded firmware file. Press “Upgrade” to start the upgrade and then press “Reboot” when the upgrade has finished.

The reader supports the Open Supervised Device Protocol (OSDP) [5] for connection to access control systems. OSDP communicates over 2-wire RS485 and can therefore be used with long cables and does not require extra cables for LED and buzzer control. IF_DIP/S301:1-2 must be set to ON to enable 2-wire mode on the reader. In most cases IF_DIP/S301:3-5 should also be set to ON to enable biasing and termination. Input IN3 can be connected to a presence detector such as an inductive loop. Figure 23 shows a typical connection diagram and the most common settings for SW_DIP/S101 and IF_DIP/S301.

Push (RS232, RS485, TCP/IP)

When a tag has been read, the reader can automatically push tag data to RS232, RS485 and a specified TCP server. The Push protocol is enabled by default on RS232 and RS485. To push data to a TCP server it is necessary to specify the IP address and TCP port of the server and enable the Push protocol under Settings…/Interfaces…/Ethernet in the web interface.

The format of the pushed data can be configured under Settings…/Data Format. The default format is decimal for SecureMarkID tags and hexadecimal for other tags.

TAGP (TCP/IP)

TagMaster Readers can be controlled and monitored using a protocol called TAGP. The TAGP protocol is human readable and can be used over TCP/IP, RS232 and RS485. A terminal emulation program such as PuTTY is all that is required to interact with TAGP.

The "TAGP Protocol Specification" [3] can be downloaded from www.tagmaster.com. Use login name "partner" and password "245ghz".

PuTTY TagMaster Edition can be downloaded from ftp://partner:[email protected]. All TAGP messages start with a 4-character message identifier and ends with a new line character. To

initiate communication with the TAGP server in the reader, a client has to send a HELO message specifying the required TAGP version. The TAGP server replies with a RPLY message:

HELOTAGP/2 RPLYHELO00

The client can then send commands to the reader. The most important commands are SET, SETS, GET, and GETS. SET and GET sets and gets the current value of a variable. SETS and GETS sets and gets the stored value of a variable. The stored value is used to initialize the variable at startup. The following example shows how to set the LED to green:

SET LED=GREEN RPLYSET 00

The reader sends events to the client when something happens. The following example shows a TAG event that is sent when a tag has been read:

EVNTTAG 20140416151015810%00%07'%14l%00%00%00%00%00%00%00

Other Protocols

The reader supports a number of OEM protocols, including SKIDATA BLL4 and Kaba BPA/Bedanet. These protocols are documented in separate protocol manuals that can be downloaded from www.tagmaster.com.

6 Built-in Access Controller

The reader has a built-in access controller that can control a barrier or gate using the reader's relay output. All accesses can be logged. A presence indicator such as an inductive loop can be connected to input 3.

Vigilant Reader

Figure 24 Built-in access controller connection diagram

With XT Mini and XT-1 it is necessary to insert a microSD card into the microSD memory card slot to use the access controller and/or log. Power off the reader before inserting or removing the microSD card!

The built-in access controller is configured using the web interface as shown in Figure 25.

7 Troubleshooting

To facilitate troubleshooting, consider the following:



Make sure that the reader has correct supply voltage and sufficient current. Check the POWER

status indicator as described in section 3.5.



If using Ethernet communication, make sure that the network connection is ok. Check the ETH LINK

and SPEED status indicators as described in section 3.5.



If the IP address has been forgotten or firmware settings have been corrupted the reader can be

restored to factory default settings as described in section 4.5.



Make sure that working and correctly formatted EPC Gen 2 tags are being used.
