SUPPORTED RFID TAGS/VICC:

MOD-RFID1356   supports   RFID   transponder   tags   with   the   following 
characteristics:

-

ISO15693 compliant transponders;

-

13,56MHz carrier frequency;

-

1 out of 4

 transmission encoding (VCD to VICC);

-

High data  rate (26,48kbit/s)  reception encoding  using one  sub-
carrier frequency.

CAVEAT: 

MOD-RFID1356   does   not   support   reliably   the   anticollision 

algorithm as defined in the ISO15693 standard. It 

will

 work reliably only if 

there is a single VICC in the vicinity 

or

 if there is no RF collision. If there is 

an   RF   collision,   supposedly   because   of   two   VICCs   with   almost   identical 
UIDs, it might not detect both of them.

POWER SUPPLY:

Normally the device is supplied from USB. 

LEDS:

In normal mode the GREEN LED is on whenever the RF antenna circuit is 
active and scanning for RFID tags. The RED LED switches on whenever a 
valid RF TAG ID is being scanned and decoded successfully. 

The   LEDs   can   be   switched   off   to   save   power   consumption.   See   the 
“Command Line Interface” section for more information.

In   boot   loader   mode   the   LEDs   have   other   meaning.   See   the   “Firmware 
Upgrade” section for more information.

PC DRIVER INSTALLATION:

Drivers for the USB HID mode are integrated in Windows XP/Vista. 

The   driver   for   USB   CDC   mode   is   available   from   our   website.   Windows 
installation steps are the following:

1. Download   and   unzip   the   file   “MOD-RFID1356-drivers.zip”   in   a 

temporary directory. 

2. Plug the programmer in the USB port.
3. Point the Device Wizard to the temporary directory.
4. Windows will complain that drivers are not signed. Click “Continue”.
5. Click finish.
