1. Getting Started
1.1 In the Package
Note: The Fan-out Box and RF Switch work in combination to allow more antenna connections.
One RFID Smart Reader can connect to one Fan-out box and four RF switches.
1.2 Introduction
The WNC RFID Smart Reader (the Reader) is suitable for a variety of UHF RFID applications. It
provides high level RF performance, a user-friendly software development interface and a cost
competitive reader solution. Combined with a Newave Shelf Antenna, it can provide 100%
readability in zone sizes of 2’x2’x2’ to 10’x10’x10’ with appropriate reader parameters and
antenna setup. You can also connect the Reader to a fan-out box and 1~4 RF switches to add
additional antennas. A maximum of 16 antennas are allowed for one Reader.
For multi-reader applications, such as retail applications, the Reader solution can efficiently
compress data size and solve data traffic issues.

1.6 Connecting the Cables
Basic installation:
1. Plug an RF cable into an antenna port and an antenna. The Reader supports up to four
antennas at the same time.
2. Connect an RJ-45 Ethernet cable to the WAN port and to your computer for software
development interface configuration.
3. Connect the power adapter to the DC IN inlet on the Reader. Once the power adapter is
connected to the Reader, the Power LED indicator will turn green indicating the power is on.
Note: Reader may be wall-mounted. Insert screws via the four holes on the left and right side of
the Reader.

1. Use an RF cable to connect an antenna port of the Reader to the RF IN port of the RF
Switch, and then connect the antennas to the ANT1~4 ports of the RF Switch.
2. Use a DB9 cable to connect the GPIO port of the Reader and the INPUT port of the Fan-out
box.
Note: Only use a rollover type DB9 cable (not crossover type.) The cable must be shorter
than 5m.
3. Use a DB9 cable to connect an OUTPUT port of the Fan-out Box to the INPUT port of the
RF Switch.
Note: Only use a rollover type DB9 cable shorter than 30m.
4. Connect the Reader to a computer. Attach the power supply to the Reader and plug it into a
wall outlet.
5. You can also connect the Device1 & 2 ports to receive data from other devices such as
sensors.
Note: The Reader, Fan-out Box and the RF Switch may be wall-mounted. Insert screws via the
four holes on the left and right side of them.
