This document describes the basic configuration and recommendations on physical
installation of the Zebra Dart Vision Reader, which is part of the Zebra Dart UWB (Ultra
Wide Band) product line. The document is provided as an installation and configuration
guide for trained installers only.
2. PRODUCT DESCRIPTION AND FEA TURES
The Dart Vision Reader provides robust asset visibility, including asset inventory and
personnel access control applications. Utilizing patented short-pulse, UWB technology,
the Dart Vision Reader offers a detection level that exceeds the capabilities of other
Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) technologies. The Dart Vision Reader portfolio
offers three standard integrated antenna (High-Gain, Mid-Gain and Omni) models to
optimize the infrastructure required to achieve the robust Vision detection. Each Reader
can simultaneously receive thousands of signals emitted by Zebra’s active UWB Dart
Tags with a read range upwards of 200 meters (650 ft) with the High-Gain model.
Figure 1: High-Gain Dart Vision Reader
In addition, the Zebra Dart Vision Reader is the world’s first UWB Reader that is
compatible with the new International UWB Standard, IEEE 802.15.4.f as well as the
forthcoming release of ISO 24730-61. The Zebra Dart Tags are capable of operating in
their native Zebra mode as well as ISO/IEEE mode. The Dart Vision Reader is able to
simultaneously detect Zebra mode and ISO/IEEE mode tags. By adhering to
International open standards; Zebra secures your infrastructure investment as it is
compatible not only with Zebra’s, but also other standards-compliant UWB tags.
The Dart Vision Reader can be used either as a stand-alone solution or as the perfect
complement to the Dart UWB Real Time Locating System (RTLS). The Reader is fully
weatherproof (IP67 rated) with an operational temperature range of -40°C to +55°C.

Users Manual, Dart Vision Reader, UWD-1000
Combined with the Dart Tags ability to be detected in high multi-path, metallic
environments, the Dart Vision Reader is able to handle the most robust, indoor and
outdoor industrial environments.
The Dart Vision Reader is powered by standard IEEE 802.3af Power-over-Ethernet
(PoE). The Reader supports the transport of the received Dart Tag messages via
Ethernet or via its integral 802.11 b/g Wi-Fi client capability (Wi-Fi antennas sold
separately). The Dart Vision Reader supports IPv4 and IPv6 network connectivity,
allowing you optimal flexibility in migration to IPv6. The Dart Vision Reader offers the
UWB Tag detection data in an easy to use format for further integration into RFID edgeware solutions available from Zebra and a variety of vendors. See sections 6.1-6.4 for
edgeware connection details.
The Dart Vision Reader utilizes standard 10/100 802.3 Ethernet connectivity via Cat-5
cables. It must be wired to a nearby IEEE 802.3af compliant Power over Ethernet (PoE)
injector or network hub/switch that is PoE compliant, which is in turn connected to the
network for connectivity to RFID edge-ware software. When operating in IPv4 mode,
the Dart Vision Reader also supports standard DHCP IP address assignment, for ease of
integration into your network environment. The maximum Ethernet cable run is 328 ft
(100 m).
The Dart Vision Reader offers a Menu-driven management console, which is accessible
via a Secure Shell connection for enhanced security. For diagnostic purposes, the Dart
Vision Reader also supports a serial RS-232c connection to the management console.
The Dart Vision Reader offers unique features that greatly enhance the ability to
implement a robust RFID solution. The Reader provides software enabled attenuation
allowing the creation of localized Vision zones by dialing in the read range from inches
to hundreds of feet with clear line of sight (LOS). A Dart Vision Reader also has the
capability to be daisy-chained to another Vision Reader (and up to another two Readers
with additional PoE injection) providing data via one Ethernet or Wi-Fi connection. This
is a great advantage for those applications where multiple Readers will improve reading
robustness or extend the range of Vision detection capability without the need to expand
the IT network.
The Dart Vision Reader is the proven choice for exceptional visibility of critical assets
and personnel in demanding industrial, manufacturing, supply chain and badging
applications.

SSH is the preferred method of communicating with the Dart Vision
5. CONFIGURATION
The Dart Vision Reader is pre-configured with the network connection to be DHCP IP
address assignment. The Management Console is accessible via SSH and, for diagnostic
purposes, serial RS-232c (via accessory cable). Either connection method provides the
user with a menu driven management console. The menu driven system allows the end
user to configure a static IP address if desired, RF sensitivity, and also allows for
configuration of the Wireless LAN, along with other functions. See important note
below on the use of Telnet to access the management console.
5.1 Configuration Conne ction
Once the unit is powered up, the user can then configure other settings via the menu
system. The menu system on the Dart Vision Reader is a numbered menu system with the
number being entered for a desired menu or setting that is to be modified. After a
configuration change is made, the user is generally prompted to hit the escape key ‘ESC’
and enter a password (ff2) to save the settings. Multiple settings can be changed in one
session, and for the settings to take effect, the unit needs to be reset. To establish an SSH
or Telnet menu session, the user must know the IP address that the DHCP server issued
or the host name assigned to the Dart Vision Reader and then establish a standard
network connection to the DVR through Port A. For a serial HyperTerminal session,
connect to Port B of the DVR with the Zebra DB-9 to RJ-45 serial cable.
Note
____________
Reader. Use the HyperTerminal is for initial set-up before being
installed on a network for setting static IP addresses, if DHCP is not
used. In addition to SSH, Dart Vision Reader also supports Telnet, and
is disabled by default. Note that Telnet sends user name and passwords
across the network in the clear. So it is recommended that Telnet be
disabled after the Dart Vision Reader configuration is completed.

5.1.1 Serial Port Communication
Using the serial port accessory cable (Console Cable CBL-440-00) that connects to the
Port-B RJ-45, the Dart Vision Reader may be configured using HyperTerminal or
equivalent. The serial port is intended for use for diagnostics purposes. The Dart Vision
Reader should not be permanently connected to serial cables. In particular, when using
the serial connection, allow the unit to boot up before connecting the serial cable. The
menu structure is the same and all the same settings are available.
Communication Parameters:
• Accessory cable DB-9 to RJ45
19200 baud, RS-232c 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, no parity, no hardware flow
control
Caution – Only use the Zebra approved Console Cable CBL-440-00, to directly connect to
a serial port connection. The use of a non-approved Console Cable to Port B will damage the
unit. Any additional cable or extension may cause serial port errors and the unit not to boot
properly.
5.1.2 Establishing an SSH Connection
The Dart Vision Reader supports Secure Shell (SSH), SSH2 being preferred over SSH1.
Either the IP address or host name of the unit must be known in order to establish an SSH
session.
An SSH session may be established using a freely available application called OpenSSH
(supplied by your Zebra Professional Services staff or visit http://openssh.com for further
details).
To establish the SSH session, you must use Zebra-supplied key, called
“ssh_zebra_rsa_key” and the “blowfish” passphrase.
The following section shows how to use the OpenSSH application.
