- Specification for FCC Class B
NOTE: This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B
digital device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide
reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This
equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and
used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio
communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a
particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or
television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user
is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:
—Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
—Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
—Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver
is connected.
—Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/ TV technician for help.
You are cautioned that any change or modifications to the equipment not expressly approve
by the party responsible for compliance could void your authority to operate such
equipment.

Section1: General Description
This section presents general information about the basic characters of the ePort G6.
Features
The ePort G6 provides the following features:
1 Small footprint PCB size: 1.4L*1.7W (inch) without antenna board
2 Support ISO 14443 type A & B standard
3 Support Amex ExpressPay, MasterCard PayPass, Visa MSD applications.
4 Read/write Philips Mifare classical contactless smart card
5 Provide the options for the direct coupling antenna and the remote antenna
6 RS232, and serial TTL (optional) Interface
7 RS232 data pass through function
8 TTL F2F magnetic stripe decode data pass through (optional)
9 F2F decoder data emulation (optional)
10 Firmware upgradeable
Application
The contactless smart card reader module ePort G6 is mainly to support the contactless
payment systems. The small footprint size of the module makes it easily to integrate to the
current transaction system such as Point-of-Sale terminal, kiosk, and vending machine
station as the part of the system. The module communicates with a host computer or
terminal using a standard RS-232 or TTL interface.
At the meantime, ePort G6 offers both RS232 and TTL magnetic stripe decoder pass-thru
function to allow the terminal to share the same input port with other peripheral devices.
The TTL interface output is in the F2F decoder data emulation. This benefits the existing
system without change its hardware configuration to catch up the future payment trend.
