![14 1800 Series Handheld RFID Reader Reference Manual DEFAULT SETTINGS SAVE USER SETTINGS AS DEFAULTS For the RFID Reader to keep the customized settings as user defaults, you must issue “#@sys_svusrtbl” command. Note: After issuing the command, the current settings will be saved as user defaults. Command: #@sys_svusrtbl\r Purpose Save User Defined Setting Response OK\r ERR,[code]\r RESTORE USER/FACTORY DEFAULTS For the RFID Reader to restore the User Defaults, which you have saved earlier, you must issue the “#@sys_ldstbl=1” command. Alternatively, you can also issue the “#@sys_ldstbl=0” command to restore Factory Default. Command: #@sys_ldstbl=[m]\r Purpose Load Default Setting Request #@sys_ldstbl=[m]\r [m]: ‘0’ – Factory Default ‘1’ – User Default Response OK\r ERR,[code]\r Note: Restoring factory defaults may reset any active Bluetooth® connections and erase the MAC address information of the connected device.](https://usermanual.wiki/CipherLab/1862/User-Guide-2462059-Page-26.png)
![17 Quick Start 1800 CONFIGURATION You can configure the RFID Reader by issuing commands or 1800Configuration Utility. Serial Command: You may run HyperTerminal.exe on the host computer to send commands to RFID Reader via USB virtual COM or Bluetooth® SPP. The commands are not case sensitive. Example: #@sys_time?<CR> Get the system time information.→ #@sys_time=[Y],[M],[D],[h],[m],[s]<CR> Set the system time. →[Y],[M],[D],[h],[m],[s] are the parameters of system time. Note: A Serial Command consists of Prefix, Text, and Suffix. The prefix consists of “#” and “@”. “?” or “=” is specified to suffix. \r or <CR> is specified for the “Enter” of your keyboard. As a normal command event, it will respond with “OK” or “ERR”. About “ERR”, please refer to Status Code for more information. 1800Configuration Utility: CipherLab supports a Windows®-based Software Utility to allow you to configure RFID Reader easily. For more information, please refer to 1800Configuration User Guide.](https://usermanual.wiki/CipherLab/1862/User-Guide-2462059-Page-29.png)

![21 Chapter 1 Understanding RFID Reader 1.1 POWER RFID Reader is powered by a rechargeable 3.7V/2500mAh Li-ion battery pack, and it takes approximately 4 hours to fully charge it via charger or adapter. During normal operation, the RFID Reader can work for up to 10 hours. Warning: The battery cover must be in position. If not, the RFID Reader cannot turn on. For a new battery, make sure it is fully charged before you begin to use it. Always prepare a spare battery, especially when you are working on a non-stop operation. 1.1.1 POWER ON After installing the battery, press the trigger for 2 seconds. The RFID Reader will respond with a long beep (high tone), and LED1 will become solid red for 1 second and go off. 1.1.2 POWER OFF The RFID Reader will stay active at power-on, which may be followed by a transition from full CPU speed to low CPU speed (Power-Saving) to auto shutdown (Auto Power Off). Auto Power Off (1~254 min.; 0= Disable): By default, it is set to automatically shut down after idling 10 minutes. If this feature is not desired, set it to 0.

![57 Chapter 2 Communication Interface NUMERIC LAYOUT Select a proper layout that matches the alphabets layout. The RFID Reader will make adjustments according to this setting. Options Parameter Description Normal (Default) ‘0’ Depend on the [Shift] key or [Shift Lock] setting. Lower Row ‘1’ For QWERTY or QWERTZ keyboard. Upper Row ‘2’ For AZERTY keyboard. Note: This setting is to be used with the Character Substitution setting when support to certain keyboard types (languages) is unavailable but required. CAPITAL LOCK SETTING In order to send the alphabets with correct case, the RFID Reader needs to know the status of Caps Lock on the keyboard. Incorrect settings may result in reversed case of the alphabets being transmitted. Options Parameter Description Capital Lock OFF (Default) ‘0’ Assuming that the status of Caps Lock on the keyboard is OFF, transmitted characters are exactly the same as in the tag (when "case-sensitive" is selected for Alphabets Transmission). Capital Lock ON ‘1’ Assuming that the status of Caps Lock on the keyboard is ON, transmitted characters are exactly the same as in the tag (when "case-sensitive" is selected for Alphabets Transmission). Refer to the Capital Lock Type above. Auto Detection ‘2’ The RFID Reader will automatically detect the status of Caps Lock on the keyboard before data is transmitted; transmitted characters are exactly the same as in the tag (when "case-sensitive" is selected for Alphabets Transmission).](https://usermanual.wiki/CipherLab/1862/User-Guide-2462059-Page-69.png)
![58 1800 Series Handheld RFID Reader Reference Manual ALPHABETS TRANSMISSION By default, the alphabets transmission is case-sensitive, meaning that the alphabets will be transmitted according to their original case, the status of Caps Lock on the keyboard, as well as the Capital Lock setting. Select [Ignore Case] to have alphabets transmitted according to the status of Caps Lock on the keyboard only. Options Parameter Description Case Sensitive (Default) ‘0’ Alphabets will be transmitted according to the original case.

![61 Chapter 2 Communication Interface 2.6 USB VCOM AND HID VIA 3610 Note: If you are using USB VCOM for the first time, you must install its driver from the CD-ROM. Driver version 5.4 or later is required. Please remove older versions! Refer to 2.1 USB Interface. For USB VCOM and HID via 3610, connect 3610 to the USB port of host computer, and then connect RFID Reader to 3610 via Bluetooth®. Before the Bluetooth® connection between 1800 and 3610 is able to be established, users have to connect a USB cable between them to tell 1800 the information about 3610 via the “bt_target” command. To capture the data, run any text editor on host computer. The scanned data will be transmitted to the host computer. How to connect with the 3610?

![121 Chapter 4 SCANNING UHF RFID Tag 4.6 ADVANCED SETTINGS 4.6.1 APPLICATIONS IN MULTIPLE TAGS ENVIRONMENT In an energizing RF field, Tags implement a slot counter into which a random value involving the Q-parameter is loaded and Readers use the slot counter to regulate the probability of a Tag responding to commands of the Inventory operation. In practical applications, the ability of the Reader to read multiple Tags is affected by the Q value. Greater Q value allows the Reader to identify and collect information from more Tags; however, the reading distance will thus be decreased, and vice versa. The Q value should be set to zero in the case of a single Tag field. For the multiple Tags field, Q should be increased depending on the amount of Tags. A valid Q value can take any integer between 0 to 15. Command: #@rf_q?\r Purpose Get the Current Q Value Response OK,[m]\r [m]: Q value Valid integer value ranging from 0 to 15 (default=0 for 1861; default=4 for 1862) ERR,[code]\r #@rf_q=[m]\r Purpose Set New Q Value Request [m]: The number of slots (Q) for the inventory round.

![122 1800 Series Handheld RFID Reader Reference Manual 4.6.2 ADJUSTMENT FOR OUTPUT POWER LEVEL OF THE READER Reading distance of the Reader varies according to its output power level. The output power level is set to the maximum value by default. Users can decrease the power level for reasons such as: Within the same frequency band, you may try to prevent RF interference for your own reason or to comply with the regulations. For near field applications, you want to write data into the nearest Tag ensuring that the data won’t be written into neighbouring ones.
