Host Computer

Introduction

This chapter provides an overview of RFID technology and components, and describes the MC3300R RFID mobile computer LED indications.

RFID Technology Overview

RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) is an advanced automatic identification (Auto ID) technology that uses radio frequency signals to identify tagged items. An RFID tag contains a circuit that can store data. This data may be pre-encoded or can be encoded in the field. The tags come in a variety of shapes and sizes.

To read a tag, the mobile computer sends out radio frequency waves using its integrated antenna. This RF field powers and charges the tags, which are tuned to receive radio waves. The tags use this power to modulate the carrier signal. The reader interprets the modulated signal and converts the data to a format for computer storage. The computer application translates the data into an understandable format.

Figure 2 RFID System Elements

Getting Started

RFID Components

Zebra RFID solutions offer low cost, long read range, and a high read rate. These features provide real time end-to-end visibility of products and assets in the factory, distribution center, retail outlet, or other facility. The MC3300R RFID system consists of the following components:

Silicon-based RFID tags that attach to retail products, vehicles, trailers, containers, pallets, boxes, etc.

An integrated antenna that supports applications such as item level tracking and asset tracking.

An embedded radio module that powers and communicates with tags for data capture and provides host connectivity for data migration.

Antenna

Antennas transmit and receive radio frequency signals.

Radio Module

The radio module communicates with the tags and transfers the data to a host computer. It also provides features such as filtering, CRC check, and tag writing. The MC3300R RFID mobile computer supports standard RFID tags as described by EPCGlobalTM Class 1 Gen2 protocol.

LED Indications

The Charge LED Indicator indicates the charge status.

Table 2 LED Charge Indicators

Status Indications

Off The battery is not charging.

The battery is not inserted correctly in the cradle or connected to a power source.

Cradle is not powered.

Green Fast (20 ms) Tag read and/or write.

Status Indications

Green Slow (200 ms) Firmware update in progress.

Red (5 s); Green Slow (200 ms) Firmware recovery mode followed by firmware update.

Setting Up the MC3300R

To start using the MC3300R for the first time:

• Ensure the battery is installed

• Charge the MC3300R

• Power on the MC3300R

• Remove MC3300R from charger

• Set the region and power level (using the RFID Manager Application, Demo Application, or the partner

application).

NOTE: In many cases the 90% charge provides plenty of charge for daily use.

To achieve the best charging results use only Zebra charging accessories and batteries. Charge batteries at room temperature with the MC3300R in sleep mode.

The MC3300R 5200 mAh PowerPrecision+ extended battery charges from 0% to 90% in less than 6 hours at room temperature.

The MC32N0 5200 mAh PowerPrecision extended battery charges from 0% to 90% in less than 6 hours at room temperature.

Zebra RFID Mobile Application for Android

Introduction

This chapter describes the enhanced version of the Zebra RFID Mobile Application for Android which demonstrates MC3300R capability and tag operation functionality.

Requirements

Requirements for the Zebra RFID Mobile Application for Android are as follows:

• The recommended Android version on the mobile computer is Nougat version 7.1.x

• Zebra Enterprise RFID mobile computer - MC3300R

• Zebra RFID Manager APK

• Zebra RFID Mobile Application APK.

Zebra RFID Mobile Application for Android

This application runs on Android mobile devices and demonstrates MC3300R capability and tag operation functionality.

The application allows for navigating to all screens at any time, however, some actions are not permitted while the device is charging. These actions include any operation that involves Tag reading or writing (for example: Rapid Read, Inventory, Locate Tag, etc.).

Navigate to all screens when the inventory/locate operation is in progress. When the operation is in progress, the device displays Operation in Progress if additional operations are initiated.

Using the Zebra RFID Mobile Application for Android

To use this application for RFID operations:

1. Launch the Zebra RFID Mobile Application for Android on the mobile device.

2. Select Settings > Advanced Reader Options > Antenna. Power Level is set to 27.0 dBm by default.

However, it is shown as 270 dbm because the value used is in units of tens of dBm. Japan units are set to a different default power level depending on the SKU type.

3. Before using the device and if the region is not set, set the region in which the device is operating. To set the

region, open the application and select Settings > Regulatory (see Power Management on page 88).

Demo Application Screens

Home Screen

To access the Zebra RFID Mobile Application for Android, touch the Zebra RFID Reader icon on the mobile device to display the Home screen. Swipe right from the left side of the screen to display the RFID Reader Menu. Tap any menu item to access its screen.

Figure 38 Home and Menu Screens

Zebra RFID Mobile Application for Android

Rapid Read

Tap Rapid Read from the Home or Menu screen.

Figure 39 Rapid Read Screen

The Rapid Read and Inventory screens display the following data (see Inventory on page 61).

• Total tag count

• Unique tag count

• Read time (mm:ss)

• Tag read rate (tags/sec).

Rapid Read and Inventory screens are two different views of the inventory operation on the reader. The Start/Stop functionality can be used interchangeably on both screens. For example, when operation starts on the Rapid Read screen and you navigate to the Inventory screen, the button available on the Inventory screen is Stop. The same is true when the operation starts on the Inventory screen. During the rapid read process, you can navigate to the Inventory screen to view tag details along with tag counts for each tag. The statistics displayed are maintained on the Rapid Read and Inventory screens regardless of the screen used to start the process.

Select Start to start the rapid read inventory operation. Select Stop to stop inventory operation.

NOTE: The scan trigger on the MC3300R can also start and stop the inventory operation. Press the trigger to

start, continue to hold and release to stop.

Moving to another screen does not halt the operation. However, attempting to make changes or perform another operation while rapid read is in process results in an error.

NOTE: The scan trigger on the MC3300R can also start and stop the inventory operation. Press the trigger to

start, continue to hold and release to stop.

The tag ID selected displays on the Access, Locate Tag, and Pre Filters screen when navigating to that screen. After selecting tag, tap on the action bar Locate icon to go to the Locate screen. The second screen displays the tag which is fully convertible to ASCII format. ASCII mode may be enabled by selecting Settings > Application.

Tag List Match Mode Operation

When Tag List Match Mode is checked on the Application screen (Application on page 76), the application identifies tags from a given set of tags in csv tag list format (comma separated values file). The contents of the csv file displays on the Inventory screen. By default, the application shows friendly names from csv files.

Before the inventory starts, the count is zero. Figure 41 displays drop-down menu choices. Select an option to display the type of tags to show when the inventory starts.

Unique Tag Reporting

When Unique Tag Reporting is enabled on the Tag Reporting screen on page 87, the reader reports only unique tags based on the options below.

• When the Matching option is selected (see Sample 1 Inventory List: Tag List Enabled; Matching Tag

Option Selected on page 65) the tag count cannot be greater than one because the unique tags are only

reported one time.

• When the Matching option is not selected, the list displays unique and total reads. The tag count cannot

be greater than one because the unique tags are only reported one time.

Reset to Factory Defaults operation is conducted on the MC3300R RFID Reader, the operation removes the Region and Channel and needs to be set again.

NOTE: Select only the country in which you are using the device.

• Channel Selection is allowed only for the regions that allow channel setting.

• Supported regions are those reported by the specific MC3300R Model.

• If the region is not configured on the MC3300R, the Regulatory status shows as NA.

• A customer application can also set the region and configuration programmatically.
