CHAPTER 1
Introduction
This Hardware Setup Guide provides instructions for installing and operating
the RFS2312/2314 RFID Readers. This document is designed for use by
RFID system integrators and software developer - those who wish to
develop software products and extended systems that take full advantage of
the RFID Reader's capabilities.
1.1 Audience
For the purposes of this document, we assume the readers of the Hardware
Setup Guide:
• are competent PC users
• have minimal previous knowledge of radio-frequency identification
technology
• are experienced in software development and/or hardware systems
integration
1.2 RFID Reader Overview
The RAIFU RFID reader is designed to read and program EPC C1G2 tags
and issue event reports to a host computer system. The host computer can
be locally connected to the reader via RJ45. The RFID Reader is delivered
with the following components and accessories:
• RFID Reader
• one RJ45 serial cable (for host computer)
• power supply
• documentation on CD-ROM
1.3 Requirements
To interface with the RFID Reader you will need the following:
• a PC running Windows 98 or higher, with CD-ROM drive and an available
• I/O Port Connector Pinouts
• RJ45 TCP/IP port
• standard 110~220 VAC power
• host software (Raifu demo software or your own custom software)
• RFID Tags (EPC C1G2 compliant and ISO18000-6B)
• external antenna(s) and coaxial cable(s)
5
• standard power cord (desired length) with grounded, 3-pronged plugs

Reader Hardware Installation and Operation
This chapter describes the RFID Reader and provides installation and operation
information.
2.1 Receiving the RFID Reader
Your RFID Reader Kit is shipped with the items listed below. Please verify
the contents of your received shipment before assembling.
• RFID Reader
•RJ45reader-to-PC cable
• reader power supply and cables
• I/O port board
• CD-ROM containing demonstration software, user guides and
documentation
Figure 2.1 - RFS-2312 Kit
2.1.1 Reader I/O Panel
The I/O panel (shown below) houses the following:
• power connector
9
•RJ45 TCP/IP port
• 3 Diagnostic LEDs (RS232/RJ45 Communication, RF Power, Supply
Power)
• 15-pin D female I/O connector
Figure 2.2 - Reader Connections and LEDs
2.1.2 Diagnostic LEDs
The diagnostic LEDs provide external indication of various conditions:
COM (green) - indicates that reader is communicating with a host
ANT (yellow) - indicates that RF is being emitted by the reader
PWR (red) - indicates power is applied to the reader
2.2 Antenna Panel
The antenna panel (opposite the reader’s I/O panel) contains either two coax
antenna connector ports as shown below. These are N type connectors.

2.3 System Assembly and Bench Test
Assembling the RFID Reader system is easy. We recommend you set up the system
and verify its operation in a bench test configuration (shown below) before
installing it in a production setting.
