Sensor Id U04 ETH 11 Discovery Gate Ethernet Demo Software

Hardware description

Antenna power supply

The antenna power supply is obtained through the PoE (Power over Ethernet ) according to IEEE 802.3af standard ( up to 15.4 W of DC power).

Access to Discovery Gate

Login screen

To access to the discovery gate login page, you must start your browser (preferably FireFox) and enter the following url in the address bar: http://discovery-(antenna mac address).local/
The specific address of antenna is attached on external box

Home page

The first page after authentication is:

In this page it’s possible select one of the reader configuration or monitoring options.

Monitor

In the monitor page the user can see the tags read with date and time of reading

Antenna setting

In this page it’s possible read and set the reading configurations

Firmware/Hardware
These fields show the firmware and hardware revision of UHF Reader

Power
Using the power tab it’s possible increase or decrease the RF power emitted by the reader.

In particular the maximum power is 10 and minimum is 1. After select the desired value, press confirm button to set it.

Distance
The distance tab increase or decrease the reading distance.

In particular the maximum distance is 10 and minimum is 1. After select the desired value, press confirm button to set it. This parameter use both the RF power and the sensitivity in reception of the reader to set a desired reading distance.

TID Memory size
This tab defines the number of byte to read in TID memory.

The maximum value is 24 and minimum is 2 according to the EPC standard.

User memory size
This tab defines the number of byte to read in User memory.

The maximum value is 64 and minimum is 2, and according to the EPC standard.

EPC Reading
This tab enable or disable the reading of EPC memory of tags

TID Reading
This tab enable or disable the reading of TID memory of tags

User Reading
This tab enable or disable the reading of User memory of tags

Tags Reading
This tab enable or disable the reading of tags

Filtering
This tab enable or disable a filtering of reading tags.

Enabling the filtering, the tag is read only once every minute.

Multiple reading
This tab enable or disable the reading of multiple tags in the same inventory cycle

The maximum number of tags read in one inventory cycle is 10.

Buzzer
Using this tab it’s possible activate or deactivate the sound emitted by the reader at every reading.

Antenna Tuning
This tab performs the tuning of antenna. This command must be send only when the antenna is installed and seated correctly. Run the antenna tuning to optimize the reading distances.

Networking

In this page it’s possible configure the Ethernet settings.

Operative mode

The Discovery Gate can operates in two mode:

Only monitor
Service Consumer When is selected “only monitor” no tag is sent to Server, this mode is for test only. Service Consumer mode is used for send data to a web service. Before doing this you need to configure some parameters in “web service” menu.

Web Service

On this page you can set the parameters for sending data to the webservice. First of all we must enter the URL of the endpoint of the webservice.

Params: in the url parameter you can use some parmeters placeolder for create dynamic ….

$P{payload} : tag read form antenna
$P{mac}: antenna mac address
$P{timestamp} : timestamp
$P{gate_id} : production id

Request Method and authentication
In this section is possible set the request method, POST or GET, and authorizzation credential for the basic authentication.
