RFID Peripheral Panel 

Definition

The RFID peripheral panel can be divided in two areas: a tag information area and a state area. The tag information area contains a tag record list of the selected data. The data list is under the RFID node in the project tree, otherwise, if the project tree is hidden, the list is in the tag information area above the tag record list. The state area contains an Operation History buffer, a Last Operated Tags list and a State Buffer. These are further discussed below.

 

Use

·        Data List - This list is displayed under the RFID node, in the project tree. A project may have more than one RFID data (tag) group.

·        Tag Information Area - It allows the user to prepare tag data that is going to be used during the RFID emulation. The data and tags are listed in this area.

¡        Data List - If the project tree is hidden, the list is displayed on top of the tag list.

¡        Tag List - As indicated above, each data (group) has a list of RFID tags. This list contains all tag records that belong to the selected data. Each row represents an RFID tag. Each tag has the following information:

§         Tag Id - This column displays the identifier for each tag on the list. The tag ID can be from 1 to 16 characters long depending on the tag type.

§         Tag Type - Displays the tag type for the tag.

§         TID Password - Tag ID password. If the tag ID is lockable, this column displays the password used to lock the tag.

§         TID Locked - This column contains a checkbox. If checked, it means the tag ID has been locked.

To edit the value of this column, you must select the tag and click on the Edit Tag  button. Once the Edit Tag dialog box opens, click on Tag Id Locked.

 

§         Valid - This column contains a checkbox. If checked, it means the tag type is supported by the emulated RFID reader.

The value of this checkbox is affected by either enabling/disabling a tag type (see Editing RFID Tag Types), or by editing a tag type and rendering the tag invalid (not fitting the under the redefined tag type description).

 

§         In Range - This column contains a checkbox. If checked, it means the tag is inside the range of the RFID reader.

The value of this checkbox can be set by clicking on either the Move Away  or the Move Near  buttons.

 

·        State Area - It displays several states of the emulated RFID reader.

¡        Operation History - All operations (like write and read) are recorded here, both successful and failed operations.

¡        Last Operated Tags - Displays the tag (s) that were accessed last by the RFID reader. The box clears as soon as the connection is closed.

¡        State Buffer - It indicates the following settings on the RFID reader.

§         Connection - Open or closed.
