      PT58C / Oolio-B RFID Reader setup

      PT58C / Oolio-B Programming

      53 PT58CRFID                  PT58C / Oolio-B RFID Reader, 13.56MHz

      Promag / GigaTMS MP30U reader

      Not programmed from factory, not even auto polling turned on……..

      Idealpos Customer Reader:    Gigatek GP20 19200, n,8,1

      Serial: 19200, n, 8, 1, none

       

      Two methods of programming, please read instructions fully before deciding which method suites best.

      1. Promag MP Studio ver. V7.70R             or   

      2. sending HEX commands via the TP100 Comm Tool utility.   

      MP studio isn’t great, doesn’t read the current config from the reader and the script feature does not work.


      Promag MP Studio MP Studio.exe

      1. Connect to device (assuming plugged into terminal already before power on).

      Interface, Serial Ports. Open, COM (can vary, check in device manager)

       

      2. Set auto polling on.  (i.e. enable scanning)

      General, Auto Polling, Enable, tick “Keep the state for default’ then hit the send command triangle.

       

      3. Configure Postamble (CR with ~)

      General, Config Output Format, Postamble , 2 bytes 0D7E, then hit the send command triangle.

       

      4. Configure Data Type

      General, Config Output Format, Data Type, ASCII, then hit the send command triangle.

       

      5. Set Communication Protocol

      General, Set Communication Protocol, ISO14443A, then hit the send command triangle.

      TP100 COMM Tool    CommTool.exe

      Send Beep

      AE 00 02 00 04 06

      Turn on Auto Polling

      AE 00 04 00 06 00 00 02

      Postamble  ( at Cr and ~) 

      AE 00 08 00 0F 04 0D 7E 00 00 00 70

      Data Type (ASCII ) 

      AE 00 03 00 10 01 12

      Set Communication Protocol

      AE 00 03 00 00 00 03

      Output Interface (RS232) 

      AE 00 03 00 0A 00 09

      1. Setup serial comms, tick Transmissive way, RS232, click RS232 Setup, enter the COM port and baud rate etc. and click Set.

       

      2. Send HEX commands to the reader

      Two options, either send HEX commands direct or open a transmission file which contains the commands to cut and paste from.

      Option 1:  copy and paste the HEX code directly into the Hex Data field from above table and click Send Hex Data for each setting,

       

      Option 2, Open a previously save transmission file and cut and paste from there.

      If needing to program additional codes via HEX commands , the promag utility can display them so that can be copied.  Use the TX code in the communication logs windows to get the HEX codes for a working command / config.
