Function
The purpose of the 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 Spider RFID Reader board.
Our reader can read Bluetooth Low Energy, 125KHz, and 13,56 MHz Tags.

Software
For the Spider RFID Reader, there is are tools available each with its specific features. Connect the 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 behavior of the card reader, by
creating or editing it’s the configuration file. For example, it is possible
to change the readout 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 its user manual. This tool was
developed for the predecessors of the Spider RFID Reader. Specific Spider RFID
Reader tools might be created in a later stage.
Quick-Test with the Notepad:
- Connect to Inepro Spider RFID Reader to the USB PC or laptop.
- Start a Text Editor application on Windows, such as Word or Notepad.
- Present a card to the Inepro Spider RFID Reader.
- Remove the card from the Inepro Spider RFID Reader.
- The data read should be displayed in the Text Editor.
This concludes the hardware test
Hardware
Physical test Inepro Spider RFID Reader
- Connect the Inepro Spider RFID Reader to the USB port of a computer.
- Check the indicator LEDs to see if the board is operating as it should.
Blue Led burning: The reader is powered and has a connection
Put a card on the Spider RFID Reader: Besides the blue power LED, the yellow and the green LED should lit. Yellow: card detected Green: card recognized.
This concludes the hardware test
