IT2200 Reader System with Multimode Capability Installation & Maintenance/Service Guide
3-6
most flexible set of capabilities available in electronic toll collection (ETC)
equipment.
Features
The IT2020 Reader Logic Card provides the following features:
• Program memory—The reader logic card contains 2 MB of flash memory.
• Data memory—The reader logic card contains 1 MB of RAM.
• Battery-backed data memory—The reader logic card uses battery backup to
preserve data in the event of a power loss for 512K of SRAM in Bank1.
• Password security—The reader logic card contains circuitry to encrypt/decrypt
the tag password.
• Direct access protocol—The reader logic card uses this protocol to communicate
with a target tag even if many tags are present between the target tag and the
reader.
• Internal synchronization—Multiple readers can be placed in close proximity
without requiring RF synchronization by the lane controller.
• Extensive self-diagnostic capability—Extensive self-diagnostics are built into the
hardware and software.
• Expandable for future options—Both hardware and firmware features can be
expanded in the reader.
• Processor—The processing is based on the Motorola MC68EN360
microprocessor.
• Frequency operation—The reader operates in the 902 to 904 MHz and 909.75 to
921.75 MHz bands.
• Multiple tag—The reader with multimode capability can read IT2200-series tags
alone, ATA tags alone, and/or a mixed population of IT2200-series and ATA tags.
• FCC compliant—The reader is Part 15 verified and Part 90 type accepted.
• Host interface—The host interface is a 16-bit ISA interface.
By using the reader logic card approach, as opposed to a stand-alone reader, the user
can employ available ISA card slots in existing lane controllers. This approach
eliminates or diminishes expenses associated with stand-alone reader packaging, such
as additional power supplies, electrostatic discharge (ESD) protection, and more
robust environmental design factors, which require more expensive components and a
higher level of maintenance.
Additionally, the IT2020 Reader Logic Card is designed for integration into an
industrial-level processor, such as a host computer or lane controller.
