Chapter 1 Getting Started Introduction This chapter provides an overview of RFID technology and components, and describes the MC919Z RFID mobile computer and product features. RFID Technology Overview RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) is an advanced automatic identification (Auto ID) technology that uses radio frequency signals to identify tagged items. An RFID tag contains a circuit that can store data. This data may be pre-encoded or can be encoded in the field. The tags come in a variety of shapes and sizes. To read a tag, the mobile computer sends out radio frequency waves using its integrated antenna. This RF field powers and charges the tags, which are tuned to receive radio waves. The tags use this power to modulate the carrier signal. The reader interprets the modulated signal and converts the data to a format for computer storage. The computer application translates the data into an understandable format. Figure 1-1RFID System Elements Host Computer Tags Mobile ComputerWireless LAN/ BT/ActiveSync RF Wave and Response
1 - 2 MC919Z Integrator Guide Supplement RFID Components Zebra RFID solutions offer low cost, long read range, and a high read rate. These features provide real time end-to-end visibility of products and assets in the factory, distribution center, retail outlet, or other facility. The MC919Z RFID system consists of the following components: •Silicon-based RFID tags that attach to retail products, vehicles, trailers, containers, pallets, boxes, etc. •An integrated antenna that supports applications such as item level tracking and asset tracking. •An embedded radio module that powers and communicates with tags for data capture and provides host connectivity for data migration. Tags Tags contain embedded chips that store unique information. Available in various shapes and sizes, tags, often called transponders, receive and respond to data requests. Tags require power to send data. There are several categories of tags based on the protocol they support, read/write memory, and power options: •Active RFID tags are powered by internal light-weight batteries, and also use these batteries to broadcast radio waves to the reader. •Semi-passive RFID tags are also powered by internal light-weight batteries, but draw broadcasting power from the reader. •Passive RFID tags are powered by a reader-generated RF field. These tags are much lighter and less expensive than active tags, and are typically applied to less expensive goods. Antenna Antennas transmit and receive radio frequency signals. Radio Module The radio module communicates with the tags and transfers the data to a host computer. It also provides features such as filtering, CRC check, and tag writing. The MC919Z RFID mobile computer supports standard RFID tags as described by EPCGlobal TM Class 1 Gen2 protocol.

Getting Started 1 - 5 MC919Z LED Indicators The LEDs indicate charging and reader status as described in Table 1-1. Reading Tags To read RFID tags: 1.Remove the MC919Z from AC power and ensure the LLRP icon is green. 2.Use an RFID reader application to enable tag reading. For a sample application, tap on icon RFID Demo in the start menu, or browse to the MC919Z Application directory and select CS_RFID3Sample6.exe. See RFID Sample Application on page 4-1. 3.Aim the mobile computer at the tag, oriented horizontally or vertically depending on the tag orientation. The distance between the tag and the antenna is the approximate read range. Press the trigger or tap the on-screen Read command within the application to interrogate all RFID tags within the radio frequency (RF) field of view and capture data from each new tag found. Release the trigger or tap the Stop Read command to stop interrogating tags.

Fast Blinking Amber Error in charging; check placement of mobile computer. Slow Blinking Amber Mobile computer is charging. Solid Amber Charging complete. Note: When the battery is initially inserted in the mobile computer, the amber LED flashes once if the battery power is low or the battery is not fully inserted. NOTEWhen connected to power, the mobile computer cannot read RFID tags.
