CONNECTIONS

USB CONNECTION

Overview

The connection to the 2166 is either via

Bluetooth

or USB.

Bluetooth

connections use either a Virtual Com Port

(VCP) or via the iAP protocol for supported Apple iOS Devices. Over USB only VCP is available. For VCP the

connection is established at 115200 baud, 8 data bits, no parity, 1 stop bit and RTS/CTS (hardware) ﬂow control.

The 2166 UHF RFID Reader has an ePop-Loq

mount which allows compatible devices with custom applications to

communicate with the reader via USB instead of

Bluetooth

● USB connection will be passed through ePop-Loq

to the attached device (via a custom ePop-Loq

case).

● The factory default mode for the 2166 ePop-Loq USB connection is charge-only.

● USB data connection to the 2166 requires a custom application that supports the TSL

ASCII protocol over

USB.

● If the 2166 UHF RFID READER is placed into the charge cradle whilst a device is attached to the ePop-Loq,

the USB data connection will be disconnected, and both the 2166 and the attached device will charge.

ePop-Loq

provides USB data and

charge connection between host

device and UHF RFID Reader
