Introduction

The uPASS Go reader is a UHF RFID reader for long-range vehicle identification. Based on passive UHF technology, vehicles are identified up to 10 meters (33 feet). The uPASS Go complies with the ISO18000-6C and EPC Gen2 directive.
As the uPASS Go is used in combination with battery-free UHF (EPC Gen2) tags, the solution is cost-efficient. It is ideal for convenient vehicle access to car parks, gated communities and staff parking areas.
The reader output allows the access control or parking system to open the gate when authorized without the need to present a badge.

Key features

• Automatic vehicle identification
• Read range up to 10 meters (33 feet)
• Operates with passive UHF tags (EPC Gen 2)
• Supports a  variety of communication protocols
• Easy installation and maintenance
• Robust reader for outdoor use

The uPASS Go supports an Ethernet interface to support a TCPIP connection. This opens up new possibilities to perform remote configuration and updates with the user-friendly online configuration web interface.

Overview

• Below a simplified overview of the components in the reader is shown:

Supported tags
The uPASS Go supports all UHF EPC Class 1 Gen 2 tags according to ISO18000-6C standard.
NEDAP formatted UHF tags can have the following programming formats:

• NEDAP UHF Wiegand tags These tags will contain all Wiegand information including facility code and parity bits. All Wiegand formats can be supported. The reader transparently sends this information via the Wiegand outputs. There is no need to change any configuration settings. See Chapter 4 for wiring details.
• NEDAP UHF Magstripe tags These tags will contain all magstripe information. The reader transparently sends this information onto the magstripe interface. There is no need to change any configuration settings. See Chapter 4 for wiring details.
• NEDAP UHF XS tags These tags are specially programmed in the same format as our TRANSIT tags (Compact-Tag, Window-Button and Heavy-Duty-Tag). The tags will have a customer code and ID number. The reader will modulate the tag-info onto the Nedap antenna interface output. This can typically be used when TRANSIT compatibility is wanted in combination with the TCC270.

Tag security
UHF EPC (Electronic Product Code) tags were introduced as a possible successor to the barcode with added functionalities. The tag emits its EPC in plain text. This makes the tags vulnerable to cloning and counterfeiting attacks.
There are a few security measures possible against tag cloning.

TID check *
EPC tags contain a data field known as the Tag Identifier (TID). At the discretion of the EPC tag/card manufacturer, the value is factory programmed and locked, ensuring that tags have a unique identity and cannot be cross-copied.
NEDAP UHF tags support a locked serialized TID and the uPASS reader can be configured to read the TID data field.

EPC passwords **
EPC tags have 2 passwords. NEDAP has implemented a two-way authentication anti-cloning method using these 2 passwords. This feature is supported in combination with all NEDAP UHF tags.

EPC Gen2 V2 secure authentication ***
The EPC Gen2 V2 tags support a secure authentication method.
This is the best possible anti-cloning measure available.
The authentication data transmitted between tag and reader are enciphered using AES128-bit encryption. The encryption keys are diversified using the programmed EPC number to ensure that the keys are different for each tag.
Required is that the tags contain an EPC Gen2 V2 compliant RFID chip. Refer to the NEDAP uPASS how-to-order guide for product numbers.

• Possible for all UHF tags with unique and locked serialized TID.
• Possible for all NEDAP UHF tags.
• Possible for all EPC Gen2 V2 tags Recommended for highest security.

Getting started

• Set LED brightness in the range from 0 to 100%. Default 50%.

Internal status LEDs
See the table below for the description of the internal status LEDs.

UHF frequencies

Frequency regulations

• The uPASS Go reader operates on the UHF 860 – 960 MHz band. Regulations in this band are not standardized worldwide. It is important to ensure that the reader is operated using the correct country/frequency setting. Normally the country of operation is already preconfigured at Nedap.
• In case the UHF frequency region is not yet selected, then follow the procedure below to set it up.
• The reader will not emit any RF field and not read tags until this is properly configured.

No frequency region configured

• When a reader’s frequency region is not yet configured, the LED at the front will flash pink periodically.
• Connect with web server or UHFTOOL to configure the frequency region. UHFTOOL will automatically detect and prompt to setup the frequency region. You only need to do this once. The setup procedure is obviously skipped when the frequency region is already configured.

Select the country of installation

• The uPASS Go reader supports worldwide operations.

Important

• The frequency setting must comply with local laws and regulations. You, the user, are responsible for ensuring operation with the correct country/frequency setting and are solely liable for the consequences due to any incorrect or non-compliant settings.

Frequency hopping

• Frequency hopping (FHSS) is by default enabled. This automatically selects and uses all available frequency channels. FHSS reduces interference, enhances security and efficiently utilizes the bandwidth.

Reader configuration

Introduction

• The reader supports settings for read configuration and output configuration, such as adjusting the read range, network settings and communication protocol details.
• The configuration settings can be changed using different methods and through different interfaces.

UHFTOOL software
The UHFTOOL software can be used on the following interfaces:

• USB interface
• RS485 interface (only when configured for CR/LF protocol)
• Ethernet interface (TCP port default 7000)

OSDP

• When using the RS485/OSDP interface, you can configure the device using the OSDP file transfer function.
• With UHFTOOL you can export all configuration settings into a OSDP config file (*.ofg).
• This file can be sent to the reader using the OSDP file transfer. This can be done from the access control software or from the Nedap OSDPTOOL software.

Web server

• The uPASS Go hosts a web server. You can use any web browser to connect to the embedded web server. The web server can be used to setup and configure the reader settings.

• The default login credentials (username/password) can be found on the TESTED sticker on the inside of the reader behind the backdoor.

Settings
Read data
Configure here which tags should be selected, how to access these tags, what data should be read from these tags and if a security check should be performed.
Read data:

• ANY TAG (default) Read any UHF tag and read its EPC number
• NEDAP Read only Nedap tags.
• Custom Read according to custom specifications. See the example below.

Example 1 – Nedap

• Read only NEDAP UHF tags

Example 2 – Custom select

• Read only tags that have EPC numbers starting with 99.
• Note that the bit pointer is set to 32 because the EPC memory bank starts with 16-bits CRC and 16-bits PC (protocol control). Therefore the EPC number starts at bit pointer 32.

Decode Nedap XS

• Enable/disable decode Nedap-XS formatted tags.

• By default, decode Nedap-XS is disabled. The data for Nedap-XS formatted tags will be transmitted to the NEDAP antenna interface. See chapter 4.4.5.
• Enable decode Nedap-XS when you do not want to use the NEDAP antenna interface. The uPASS will decode the Nedap-XS tag data and output its tag number in a readable format. You can also enable to output or verify the customer code.
• Enable the option ‘Allow other tag formats’ when you want the reader to support also other formatted tags, such as NEDAP UHF Wiegand formatted tags and others.

The decoded Nedap-XS output number contains:

• Byte 1: 4E NEDAP UHF
• Byte 2: <FMT> FMT=01: Nedap-XS decoded hex tag number.
• FMT=02: Nedap-XS decoded decimal tag number.
• Byte 3-4: 00 Unused
• Byte 5-7: CC CC=Customer code (zero if not transmitted)
• Byte 8-12: TAGNO TAGNO=Tag number

Examples

• NEDAP UHF XS: 4E10 3FFF C415 A87C BD51 8000
• NEDAP UHF XS decoded: 4E01 0000 0000 0000 0000 3039
• NEDAP UHF XS decoded decimal: 4E02 0000 0000 0000 0001 2345
• NEDAP UHF XS decoded + custcode: 4E01 0000 0415 A000 0000 3039
• NEDAP UHF XS decoded decimal + custcode: 4E02 0000 0415 A000 0001 2345

Relay/timing

• Configure timing parameters.

• Enable ‘Automatic relay activation’ to activate the relay upon identification.
• When disabled the relay can only be activated manually (using digital input or software command).
• The ‘Tag hold time’ setting is the minimum time the relay is activated.
• The Random off time parameter can be used to enable time sharing between multiple readers on the same frequency. Recommended to enable this setting.

LED control
The built-in high-intensity LED provides visual feedback that the tag has been read or authorized. The LED and buzzer can be controlled automatically by the reader itself or by the access control system.

Automatic mode

• Default the uPASS Go will automatically control the LED.
• During stand-by, the LED will be BLUE and upon identification,n it will be GREEN. These colors can be changed!

Remote control

• The LED can be controlled remotely by a connected access control system.
• Digital inputs will determine the color indicated on the LED.
• See chapter 4.4.3 for digital input connection details.

OSDP

• In OSDP operation the LED will be controlled through the OSDP command message OSDP_LED.

Expert settings

• Click ‘Options’, ‘User mode’,and  ‘Expert’ to show additional configuration settings for advanced users.

Output

• Configure communication output settings.

• ‘RS485 protocol’. Select the RS485 communication protocol CR/LF (default) or OSDP.
• Note that the USB communication protocol is fixed to CR/LF.
• ‘Fast repeat serial id-events’ is selected (default) the serial output is repeated upon every identification. When this option is disabled, the message is only transmitted once. The setting is ignored for the
• RS485 communication interface.
• Enable ‘Repeat using hold-time interval’ to periodically repeat the id-events as long as the tag is within the identification range. Set the hold time to specify the interval between the repeated messages. The repeating will be enabled for the serial and also for the Wiegand or Magstripe interface.

Output message format

• The serial output message format is configurable.

• STANDARD (CR/LF) protocol message format:

• Example output:

Customized example

Note

• When the output message format is changed, identified tags may no longer be shown in the UHFTOOL.

OSDP
OSDP protocol message format:

Note that in OSDP operation the prefix, suffix and append CR/LF settings are ignored.

Extra output
Optionally enable Wiegand or magstripe output for tags that are not programmed by NEDAP in a Wiegand, Magstripe or NEDAP-XS format.

‘Protocol’:

• Disabled Do not use the extra output feature.
• Wiegand Enable Wiegand output.
• Magstripe Enable Magstripe output.

‘Data source’:

• EPC number Output the EPC number using the selected protocol.
• Custom read data Output the custom data read using the selected protocol. See for more information about how to setup custom read data Chapter 8.2.1.

‘Alignment’:

• Full Use the complete EPC number (or all custom read data).
• Left Truncate data. Keep left.
• Right Truncate data. Keep right.
• ‘Data length’: Data length in bits for Wiegand (or in digits for magstripe).
• ‘Offset’: Data offset in bits for Wiegand (or in digits for magstripe).
• ‘Add constant’: Enable to add a constant to the output before or after the data read from the tag.

Read range

• With ‘Read range’ the tag read distance can be configured, this can be useful to optimize lane separation. The read range settings is configured using two separate parameters;
• ‘RSSI threshold’: The reader ignores the tags until the received signal strength (RSSI) is higher than the configured threshold level. RSSI threshold value 0 gives the highest range (‘unlimited’).
• ‘Antenna output power’ The antenna output power controls the distance in which the tag is activated.

Antenna

• Antenna settings can be changed in the Antenna panel.

• ‘Antenna output power’ The antenna output power controls the distance in which the tag is activated. This is the same setting as the “Antenna output power” from the read range (see above).
• ‘Dwell time’ Dwell-time is the tag-search time in milliseconds. This setting configures the maximum time that the antenna is activated during a tag identification round. If configured to zero then the setting is not used (the inventory cycles will be used instead).
• ‘Inventory cycles’ The number of inventory cycles the reader performs each time when searching for tags. If configured to zero then the setting is not used (the dwell time will be used instead).
• If dwell time and inventory cycles are both set, the shortest will be used. It is not possible to set both to zero.

Network settings
Click Options – Network settings to set up network settings. The windows show the current network configuration.
Typically you view/edit here the hostname and IP-address settings. If DHCP is enabled, then the reader will automatically request for an IP address from a server. You may also choose to set up a static IP address.

• The firmware of the uPASS Go (UHF processor) can be updated using UHFTOOL.
• This can be done through USB, RS485 and TCPIP port 7000.
• Click Options, Update firmware.
• Select the firmware file. You may choose the available standard firmware version or alternatively an externally provided firmware file.

TCPIP
The Linux controller automatically performs a firmware upgrade of the UHF processor together with a Linux system update. The Linux controller will not perform a UHF processor firmware downgrade. This to prevent an update performed through USB or OSDP from being undone.
OSDP
You can perform a firmware update through the OSDP file transfer function.
The encrypted firmware file (*.upd) can be provided to you through our support channels.
