Initial Settings

When turning on the M-ID10W for the first time, it will have factory settings, therefore, a new Wireless network will be created and will wait for connections. The network name (SSID) is created by default, being mid10-xxxxxxxx (x = reader's unique identification).

The default password for connecting to Wifi is: viaondarfid

Admin page

Access to the administration/settings page is done through your browser (Google Chrome, for example) through the address: 192.168.0.10.

Default credentials are:

User: admin
Password: admin

Current data

In this section, the current network configuration data is displayed.

When your model does not have an RTC (Real Time Clock), the message: RTC NOT PRESENT ON THIS BOARD VERSION will be displayed in the Date and Time field.

Wireless parameters

In this session it is possible to define the Wireless parameters.

Operation mode:
- Access Point: Defines that the M-ID10W will be used as an access point (like a router).
- Station: Defines that the M-ID10W will be used as a station, and must connect to an existing WiFi network.
  In this mode, it is mandatory to fill in the name of the SSID network where the reader will connect, as well as the connection password. The IP addressing parameters must be defined manually, as the configuration does not allow operation in DHCP mode, only with a static IP address.
SSID: When in Access Point mode, the SSID is configurable, changing the name of the Wifi network as you wish. When in Station mode, it is necessary to inform the name of the SSID network where the reader must connect.
Connection Password: When in Access Point mode, it is the password required to connect new clients. When in Station mode, it is the SSID network connection password where the reader should connect.
The player will try to connect to the provided network for 10 times with an interval of 5 seconds. If it fails to connect, the reader will automatically restart, repeating the connection process.
Socket Server Port: It is the network port that the reader will open a listener waiting for external connections. It is used when the equipment is operating in Answer Mode mode.
IP: Static IP of the reader.
Mask: Netmask.
Gateway: Network Gateway IP address.
Operation Channel: WiFi operation channel used by the equipment (Only in Access Point mode).
Host: Apply DNS to customize the access link of your reader settings, as shown in the example below.

General parameters

In this session it is possible to define the general parameters of the equipment.

User : username used to login to the administration page.
Password : access password for the login in the administration page.
Print RFID TX data on Serial Debug : allows turning on or off the sending of Debug data to the RX2 auxiliary output.
Debug Mode : when enabled, it allows debugging the firmware.
Save Debug on SD Card : when enabled, it allows saving the debug on the SD card.
Keep Alive : when enabled, it allows sending the chosen message to show if there is a persistent connection.

Reset module : when the reader is a USR ethernet model, you have the option to reset the settings of the ethernet module.

Radio frequency parameters

In this session it is possible to define the RFID working parameters and automatic operation.

RF Operation Mode : Defines the operation behavior of the RFID reader, being:
- Answer Mode: It is used when the equipment must wait for reading commands coming from the DLL library or from the network Socket.
  Access http://restricto.viaondarfid.com.br to download the SDK and auxiliary support documents.
- Active Mode: In this mode, the reader automatically enters the reading operation, recording the read tags in the buffer, memory card or sending them to a URL, when configured.
- Active Mode (Trigger): Like the previous mode, in this mode, the reader will wait for a pulse in the input GPIO to perform the reading. This is a standalone read based on a condition.
Buzzer : Enables or disables Buzzer. Need to restart the reader after setting
Post Trigger Reading Interval : Defines the time the reader will read after the input GPIO pulse.
Tag reading interval : Determines the Tag reading interval time.
Antenna Power : Defines the reading power, from 1dBm to 26dBm.
Session : Defines the session that will be used in the readings.
- Session 0: The RFID tag responds to all requests made by the RFID reader.
- Session 1: When the RFID tag receives the request from the reader for the first time, it responds promptly. After that, the tag enters a state of silence and waits between 0.5 and 5 seconds to respond to the next request. The silence time is not configured, who defines it is the tag itself.
- Session 2 or 3: The RFID tag responds the first time it is detected by the antenna. If it stays close to the antenna, the tag will not respond again. When you leave the antenna range, after up to 20 seconds it will respond again.
TTL/RS232 Operation Mode : Defines the TTL/RS232 operation mode, which can be data input or output. When OUTPUT is selected, data can be collected via serial, the EPC of the tag on can be collected if the option Send Tag EPC to TTL/RS232 auxiliary output is enabled. When INPUT is selected, it allows the data received on the RS232 input to trigger for the specified time. Autonomous-Trigger Mode must be enabled.
Baudrate : Allows choosing the baudrate for TTL/RS232 output or auxiliary input Necessary to restart the reader after definition
Send Tag EPC to TTL/RS232 auxiliary output : When enabled, it sends the EPC data of the read tag to the TTL/RS232/TCPIP auxiliary output.
Save read Tags on SD card : When enabled, it will store read tags on SD card.
If there is no SD card inserted, this option will be disabled and a message will be displayed:
Web services : Used for GPIO reading and activation operations.
See the Web services section for information on collecting and clearing the buffer.

	Operation	url
	Collect readings with return in `JSON`	http://[IP]:8080/getTagSDCard
	Delete stored readings	http://[IP]:8080/clearTagSDCard

	Operation	url
	Collect Input GPIO Status 1	http://[IP]:8080/getInput1Status
	Collect Input GPIO Status 2	http://[IP]:8080/getInput2Status
	Turn on Output 1 GPIO	http://[IP]:8080/gpio.php?output=1&status=on
	Turn off GPIO Output 1	http://[IP]:8080/gpio.php?output=1&status=off

Keep output active for... : When configured in Active Mode or autonomous with trigger, it defines the time in which the digital output will be kept ON after reading the TAG. If the EPC mask is enabled, only the tags that respect the mask will trigger the digital output (with the exception of tags included in the exclusion list.). This time can vary from 0 (DISABLED) to 30 seconds.
Discard Repeated Tag : When selected, it discards the repeated reading of the same tag in sequence.
EPC mask : Define a reading mask. The filter length must be between 1 and 24 digits, and can filter on the EPC prefix or a unique tag. The filter defined here is considered for automatic triggering of output GPIO, sent to URL and sent to additional TTL/RS232 output.
Example: In case the mask 3034541 is defined, only the tags that had the EPC with beginning equal to the mask will be processed, the others will be discarded.
Exclusion List (1 EPC per line) : When a tag must be discarded, even if it is within the mask rule, the complete EPC of the TAG (24 digits) that must (must) be discarded can be entered in this list (s).

Web Service Parameters

In this session it is possible to configure the parameters of the Web Service

Send EPC to URL : If this field is empty, nothing will be done. When filled in, the reader will send an HTTP POST REQUEST to the specified URL, containing the array with the EPC of the read tag and the date.
Example: "http://www.viaondarfid.com.br/ws/getTagReading" - When a tag is read, the equipment will send the HTTP POST request:
