1.1 Open COM Port
Before open com port, please make controller properly connected with the host using the communication cable provided and then turn on the power.then select .
（ 1 ） Auto Open Comport:
Value 255(0xFF) is broadcasting address. All controllers will respond the order with a broadcasting address.
Other value (0x00~0xFE) is controller address. Only will the controller conforming to the address respond the operation.

If set 0xFF, reader will return error information.
（ 2） set and save power configuration.
（ 3 ） select the reader’s band, different band, the frequency of different。
（ 4） Set reader working Min
Frequency and Max Frequency. In different places, the radio requires the rule to be different. Users can follow the local situation and choose to read more sensitive frequency range of the card. In single frequency point operation, only need to set two frequencies to the same value. In frequency hopping operation, only need to set two frequencies to the different value.
（ 5 ） demo software start run, default use the baud rate 57600 to open COM port, reader power on, reader baud rate default is 57600.
After change the baud rate, reader use the new baud rate until power off. Close port and open port, the baud rate no change. The demo software will use the new baud rate, until

2. The Necessary Knowledge
2.1 EPCC1G2 tag memory
Tag memory divided into four storage areas, each storage area can be made up of one or more memory words. The four storage areas:
EPC areas (EPC): Store the area of EPC number, this module stipulates it can store 15 word
EPC number. Can read and can write.
TID areas (TID): Store ID number established by the tag production firm. There are 4 words and 8 words two kinds of ID numbers at present. Can read and not can write.
User areas (User): This area of different manufacturers is different. There is no user area in
G2 tag of Inpinj Company. There are 28 words in Philips Company. Can read and can write.
Password areas (Password): The first two words is kill password, the last two words is access password. Can read and can write.
Can write protect in four storage areas. It means this area is never writeable or not writeable under the non-safe state; only password area can set unreadable.
2.2 18000-6B tag
6B tag has a memory space, the minimum 8 bytes (byte 0- 7) is UID of the tag, and can't be rewritten. Following byte all can be rewritten, can be locked too, but once locking, can't rewrite again, can't unblock either.
2.3 Data display (tag ID, passwords, memory data is display in 16 hexadecimal)
Display in Hex, then 11 is first byte, 22 is second byte, and 1122 is first word.
Total 8 bytes, in other words, total 4 words.
