4 Intelleflex Confidential
1. Introduction
The Intelleflex XC3 Technology based Cellular Multi-Protocol Reader, CMR-6100, is a new age RFID
reader that provides extended RFID capabilities with industry-leading range as well as the ability to
connect remotely through a GSM. Along with the GSM network, the CMR-6100 is capable of decoding
GPS data. The CMR-6100 advanced design ensures easy field upgradeability, in addition to support for
ISO 18000-6:2010 and EPC-global C1G2 industry standards.
Figure 1.1-1 the CMR-6100
This user manual describes the operation and installation of the CMR-6100. This manual is intended for,
but not limited to, Intelleflex RFID software and integration partners responsible for incorporating
Intelleflex XC3 Technology into new or existing RFID solutions.
2. The Intelleflex CMR-6100
2.1
Description
The CMR-6100 has unique functionality which supports connections through Ethernet and a GPRS
cellular modem. The cellular modem also provides access to GPS location and time synchronization. In
order to take full advantage of the remote capabilities of a cellular modem, the CMR-6100 offers
autonomous functionality. The autonomous functionality of the CMR-6100 is provided by the hosting and
remote management of internal application programs (agents) capable of communicating to the CMR-
6100 and other local devices. The CMR-6100 also offers two optically isolated general purpose inputs
and two open-drain outputs. There are two pairs of bi-static antenna connectors: 2 transmit (Tx) and 2
receive (Rx) ports. The CMR-6100 also has a USB Type-A receptacle with high levels of USB driver
support.

Power and External Connections
To power the Intelleflex CMR-6100 use the pr24VDC 2.5A power supply and use the DC power
input on the back panel of the reader, ensuring the connector has been completely inserted into the
receptacle and the locking screw is secured to finger tightness. There is an addition battery DC input on
the CMR-6100 which powers the unit completely but notifies the hosted application agent that the main
power source has been turned off and it is now running on battery backup. This is useful to limit cellular
network and RF transmitting to make sure the battery backup isn’t depleted quickly.
Additionally on the back panel is a USB Type-A receptacle, RJ45 LAN, USB Type-B receptacle, and the
GPIO screw pin adapter receptacle. The USB Type-A receptacle is designed to take almost all USB
based devices, addition internal application support may be needed to run complex devices such as
modems, but USB memory sticks, USB to Serial adapters and printers are supported. The USB Type-B
receptacle is a serial port connection which provides direct access to the CMR-6100 network settings.
For more information about the GPIO connector see Chapter 2.4.5.
