4 TRANSIT compatible mode
The uPASS Target reader features a TRANSIT compatible mode.
In this mode the reader communication is 100% compatible with the NEDAP TRANSIT.
This is very useful for anyone that has already developed an integration with NEDAP TRANSIT readers.
The compatibility is ensured by embedding the TRANSIT processor in the uPASS Target. This processor will support
any firmware version developed for the TRANSIT reader, including P61, P81 and Q70. See separate TRANSIT firmware
documentation.
In the TRANSIT compatible mode, most inputs and outputs are switched to the TRANSIT processor.
Therefore you should use TRANSIT software such as P81TEST and PICLOAD.
UHFTOOL software cannot be used via RS485, RS422, USB or TCP/IP Channel 1.
It is still possible to use UHFTOOL software through TCP/IP Channel 2.
SW1-1 ON = TRANSIT compatible mode enabled. SW1-1 is located near the USB port see chapter 3.2.4.
The TRANSIT compatible mode requires that the UHF tags are programmed in the NEDAP-XS format.
TCP/IP Channel 1 settings
Make sure the serial setting of the Ethernet are correctly configured to work in the TRANSIT compatible mode. This can
differ based on firmware version and DIP-switch settings (see the TRANSIT firmware documentation). The serial
settings of the Ethernet can be changed with the web interface:
• Open the browser and go to the readers IP address
• Fill in the username and password (by default both blank)
• Open “Channel 1” - “Serial Settings”
• Check if the “Port Settings” match the reader serials settings (as for USB or RS422/RS485)
• Click OK and Apply Settings
TRANSIT switch settings
The TRANSIT firmware generally uses 8 DIP-switches for configuration purposes. These DIP switches are not
physically available on the uPASS Target.
The virtual DIP-switches can be set using UHFTOOL software. See chapter 6.4.2.
Make sure that SW1-1 is (temporarily) OFF while configuring.
See the corresponding TRANSIT firmware documentation for the functional description of each switch.
