Using the UHF RFID Reader

Overview

The Optimus 5900 RFID terminal houses a UHF RFID reader that allows you to read multiple/single RFID tags and read/write/lock/kill the memory of single tags

From the Today screen, select Programs > Demos > RFID Demo. The following screen appears in approximately 2 seconds.

All

Tags that are read are displayed in the order in which they are read. The last read tag

 

displays at the top of the list. A maximum of 128 tags display at a time. The same tag’s

 

UID may appear several times.

 

 

Accumulated

Tags display on the basis of their UID. If the UID of the tag does not exist, a new

 

registration is carried out. The tag’s UID appears only once. The order of the tags

 

appears in the non-increasing order.

 

 

Sound

The terminal beeps whenever a tag is read. Adjust the volume of the beep by changing

 

the setting in Control Panel > Volume & Sounds.

 

 

Continue

If the Accumulated tab is selected, you may check the Continue box. If the box is not

 

checked, sound is generated only when a new tag is read except UID tags in the existing

 

list; thereby increasing the tag count.

 

 

Read

Selecting Read causes the terminal to read tags. This action is the same as pressing

 

and holding the trigger.

 

 

Read/Write

Selecting Read/Write opens the Read/Write Memory window. (See Reading Tags on

 

page 5-3.)

 

 

Lock/Kill

Lock prevents reading of or writing to a tag. Kill makes a tag permanently undetectable.

 

(See Tag Lock/Kill on page 5-5.)

 

 

Tag’s count

If All is selected, the tag count is the number of tags with different UIDs. If Accumulated is

 

selected, the tag count equals the number of tags in the list.

 

 

Stop

Stops the terminal from reading RFID tags.
