How to Use the RFID UI Utility

The RF1100 RFID reader can be used to work with any ISO 
14443A/B and 15693 contactless cards. The contactless cards can 
transmit UID data to the RFID reader when they are in an 
applicable read range. To launch the RFID UI, do the following:

1.  Insert the RF1100 RFID reader into the PDA or laptop CF or 

PCMCIA (via adapter) slot.

2.  Locate the RFID UI executable file copied to the PDA or 

laptop. Double click or tap on the corresponding execut-
able file to open the RFID UI. (

RFID_ceUI_v1007.exe

 for 

PDA and 

RFID_x86UI_v1008.exe 

for laptop.)

When using the laptop to execute the RFID 
UI program, make sure that the RF1100 
driver is installed on the laptop before 
use. Refer to the section “

Installing the 

RF1100 Driver on a Laptop” 

on page 3 

for more details.
Software driver is not required for some of 
ACA products such as HT1100 and HT1300.
