Refit the SAM cover locking plate if required.
1117 As an option a locking plate may be fitted to the SAM cover. This is designed to prevent the two cover locking clips from being moved. The cover locking plate is fixed in place with a single screw and should be removed to allow the cover locking clips to be moved and the cover removed. Standard plate Cover locking plate can be fitted instead.
17 6 Charge and ActiveSync Connection The 1117 HF Reader is designed to fit into a standard MC55/65 desktop charge cradle or cradle cup. When docked into a cradle power is passed through the 1117 so that the host terminal can charge. When docked and an external USB host is connected, the USB connection from the host terminal is disconnected from the RFID reader and passed straight through to the connector on the bottom of the 1117.
1117 7 Reading Transponders RFID transponders can be read when they are in range of the antenna. The antenna is located on the back of the 1117 HF Reader. Transponders are read best if they are aligned parallel to the back of the 1117 as shown in Figure 6. Antenna located behind this cover.

1117 8 Status LED The status LED on the front of the 1117 HF Reader provides an indication of the operating status of the 1117 HF Reader. LED colour Status Green flash The previous command was successfully received and processed by the reader. OR. A transponder was read. Red flash The previous command was not successfully processed by the reader. Note that custom configuration of the 1117 HF RFID reader may prevent it from operating as described above.
1117 9 Software 9.1 Driver installation The drivers required for the 1117 HF Reader may be deployed as part of the installation of a custom application. Otherwise they can be deployed by copying ‘RFID Reader Driver.CAB’ to the host terminal and running it. When prompted, choose ‘Device’ as the destination to install the drivers to. RFID Reader Driver.CAB is included on the Explorer Kit and Software Development Kit CDs and can also be downloaded from http://www.tsl.uk.com/downloads.htm. 9.
1117 9.3 SmartWedge RFID application A Wedge application has been developed for use with the 1117 and other Technology Solutions RFID readers. This activates the RFID reader whilst any of the yellow scan buttons are held down. Any transponder serial numbers that are read are sent out as though they had been typed on the keypad to whichever application has focus. Instructions for installing and using the Wedge application are provided separately from the Technology Solutions website at http://www.tsl.uk.
1117 is to be performed. This is the approach taken with the Demonstration application and with SmartWedge RFID.
