Spider RFID Reader. This manual is meant for all the Inepro Red Spider RFID
Reader.
This manual, the Red Spider RFID Reader hardware and software are subject to
change, make sure you have the latest version of this manual, because the
older versions may have become obsolete.
Function
The purpose of the Red Spider RFID Reader is to read the unique ID contained
in the card that is presented to the reader and transfer this ID to a server.
In most cases this data will be the card serial number. To facilitate this a
variety of card reader software modules have been developed. Our configuration
tool will enable you to change the settings on the Red Spider RFID Reader
board. Our reader can read Bluetooth Low Energy, 125KHz and 13,56 MHz Tags.
FCC Certified
Caution! Changes or modifications not expressly approved by INEPRO B.V. could
void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.

A digital device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are
designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference when
the equipment is operated in a commercial environment. This equipment
generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed
and used in accordance with the instruction manual, may cause harmful
interference to radio communications. Operation of this equipment in a
residential area is likely to cause harmful interference in which case the
user will be required to correct the interference at his own expense
Requirements The Red Spider RFID Reader has no known requirements other
than a USB host that can read a keyboard-like Human Interface Device.

assembled
Software
For the Red Spider RFID Reader there is are tools available each with its
specific features. Connect the Red Spider RFID Reader to a computer or laptop
and present a card to the reader. Please note that the reader needs to have
the HID RAW Configuration. (See Inepro SCR-MCR-DCR RFID Programmer Tool Full
Version manual for more details).
Inepro SCR-MCR-DCR Programmer**
With this tool it is possible to change the behaviour of the card reader, by
creating or editing it’s configuration file. For example it is possible to
change the read out of the RFID card but also the LEDs can be switched off or
the volume of the beeper can be changed. Once finished it is possible to store
the created settings in a special config file which can be programmed via the
SCR-MCR-DCR RFID Programmer Tool. For more information regarding this SCR-MCR-
DCR RFID Programmer Tool please consult it’s user manual. This tool was
developed for the predecessors of the Red Spider RFID Reader. Specific Red
Spider RFID Reader tools might be created in a later stage.
