3 IDENTIFYING THE BOOSTER WITH A TRANSIT
3.1 HOW TO USE THE BOOSTER
Place the Booster on the inside of the windscreen of your vehicle as described in
chapter 2. The driver inserts his personal identification card and activates the
Booster’s button.
A beep should indicate that the card was successfully read. A low beep indicates
that card reading failed. The TRANSIT reader can identify your card up to a distance
of 10 meters (=33 ft).
After 5 seconds the Booster returns into sleep mode. The booster will remain active
when in 'always-on'-mode. The driver should remove his personal identification card
from the Booster when leaving the vehicle.
3.2 READER OUTPUT BOOSTER INFO
The Prox/Smartcard-Booster is a battery operated passive tag. The information from
the tag is sent to the reader by a method called modulated backscatter. This means
that the 2.45GHz signal coming from the reader's antenna is modified in such way
that it can be recognized by the reader.
The examples below assume that a TRANSIT reader with P81 firmware is used and
show the messages transmitted on the RS-232 interface to a host system (TXD).
Refer to the TRANSIT firmware manuals for more details about the reader
communication protocol.
Combi-Booster mode (Vehicle-ID + Driver-ID)
The Booster cannot be identified until the driver inserts his personal identification
card and pushes the Booster’s button. Once the button is pushed the Booster reads
the personal identification card and beeps
P upon a successful read. Both vehicle-id
and driver-id are tfransmitted to the host system for 5 seconds. Afterwards the
Booster automatically deactivates again. The booster will remain active when in
'always-on'-mode.
Example
vehicle-id = 123, driver-id = E4947C46,
TXD = Y000000012300000000000000E4947C46P

Booster mode (Only Driver-ID)
The Booster is 'sleeping' until the driver inserts his personal identification card and
pushes the Booster’s button. Once the button is pushed the Booster reads the
personal identification card and beeps
P upon a successful read. The data is
transmitted to the host system for 5 seconds. After that the Booster automatically
deactivates again. The booster will remain active when in 'always-on'-mode.
