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.

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.

Tags

Tags contain embedded chips that store unique information. Available in various shapes and sizes, tags, often called transponders, receive and respond to data requests. Tags require power to send data.
There are several categories of tags based on the protocol they support, read/write memory, and power options:
Active RFID tags are powered by internal light-weight batteries, and also use these batteries to broadcast radio waves to the reader.
Semi-passive RFID tags are also powered by internal light-weight batteries, but draw broadcasting power from the reader.
Passive RFID tags are powered by a reader-generated RF field. These tags are much lighter and less expensive than active tags, and are typically applied to less expensive goods.

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.
15
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).

Daisy-chaining Ethernet ShareCradles

Daisy-chain up to ten 5-Slot Ethernet ShareCradles to connect several cradles to an Ethernet network. Use either a straight or crossover cable. Daisy-chaining should not be attempted when the main Ethernet connection to the first cradle is 10 Mbps or throughput issues are likely to occur.
To daisy-chain 5-Slot Ethernet ShareCradles:
1. Connect power to each 5-Slot Ethernet ShareCradle.
2. Connect an Ethernet cable to one of the ports on the switch and the other end to the Primary Port of the first
cradle.
3. Connect an Ethernet cable to the Secondary port of the first cradle.
4. Connect the other end of the Ethernet cable to the Primary port of the next 5-Slot Ethernet ShareCradle.
