PC-Card Transponder Reader – Release 1.0 HERMOS Informatik GmbH, 95490 Mistelgau, Germany Page 3 of 17 2002-09-04 ID: ID020064 1 System Description The HERMOS PC-Card Transponder Reader is a high frequency identification system using the FM-transmission. The basic item is a transponder working as a forgery-proof electronic identity disc. The reading unit of the system sends an energy impulse via the antenna. The capacitor of the passive, battery-less transponder is charged by this impulse. After that, the transponder returns a signal with the stored data. As a line of sight between transponder and reader is not absolutely necessary, the transponder can also be identified through non-metallic material. The HERMOS PC-Card Transponder Reader is a device to read and write to TIRIS transponder. The card can be used in connection with a notebook or a PDA.

Operation is subject to the following two conditions: 1) this device may not cause harmful interference , and 2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation. CAUTION: Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment. NOTE: This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures: —Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna. —Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver. —Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected. —Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.

The interface of the reader is comparable with the interface of a serial interface PC-card. 4.1 Notebook or Desktop PC On operating systems which support plug & play, the card will be detected automatically. Then only the delivered *.inf file must be installed. If the card was installed successfully a new entry “com x” appears in the device manager (for example “com 3”). On operating systems which don’t support plug & play, the card must be installed manually. After plug in the card and starting the system, the serial interface must be configured manually. For more information see the Windows help of the device manager.

The card supports plug & play for an easy use. To test the card, the HERMOS test tool must be installed on the PDA. To install the test tool, start the setup.exe on the delivered CD-ROM and follow the instructions on the screen. System requirements for the installation of the test tool: § ARM processor § Operating system: PocketPC 2002 § A version of Microsoft ActiveSync must be installed on the host. § The PDA must be connect to the host and a connection must be established. 4.2.1 HERMOS PC-Card Reader Test Software for PDA The test software can be used to read and write to a TIRIS transponder. After starting the software, the tool is searching for the HERMOS PC-Card Reader. Was the PC-Card Reader detected successfully, the message “- PCCard found –“ appears in the status line. Pushing the button ‘SCAN’, starts the reading of the transponder. The transponder data can be displayed in ASCII mode or in HEX mode. (see picture 4.1 and 4.2) picture 4.1:Scan – ASCII mode picture 4.2: Scan – HEX mode status line
