Konnessjoni tipika

The Pepper C2R Module can be connected to a host (computer or another device) using USB or UART0. Both interfaces can be used for communication using the binary protocol described below.
The Module also has secondary UART (UART2) available. Using this connection, the user can view output logs which contain additional information about temporary executing commands. The default configuration is : baud: 115200, Data: 8 bit, Parity: none, Stop bits: 1 bit, Flow Control: none. Data lines can be configured to work using any free GPIO’s available on the module. Additionally, it can be used to operate the RS485 interface with hardware flow control using the DE and Re lines (pin no. 15 and 16).

The Pepper C2 device can be connected directly to a host computer using a standard USB interface. In the same way it can be powered to operate as a standalone device by using power sources such as a USB charger or power bank.
The computer operating system should recognize this device as a virtual com port or USB serial device and it should appear in Windows device manager as a COM port. Eccel-C2R-Pepper-Module-FIG (2)

Figure 3-1. Typical connection
Hint – If you don’t have a USB-UART converter to see the logs on the UART2, you can temporarily change the default log interface from UART2 to UART0 in the Cx-client UART configuration button. Then, the logs should be available on the USB port

HID keyboard emulation
The RFID reader can be configured to enable USB port emulation of the HID Keyboard profile. With this functionality, UID numbers of tags read during polling are transmitted as a keyboard input stream to any host device that accepts USB keyboards. To activate this profile, the Cx-client application should be used to select the HID Keyboard profile for the USB port within the USB/UART configuration menu.
Once the device is configured via the USB/UART0 interface in HID Keyboard mode, further connection to this port using the Cx-client application becomes unavailable. In order to temporarily restore the binary protocol, the BUTTON pin should be held at the LOW state for 3 seconds. During this process, the device’s RGB LED blinks once every second and flashes red when the default UART emulation profile has been temporarily restored. Additionally, configuration options allow enabling automatic transmission of the ENTER key after each UID is sent. Eccel-C2R-Pepper-Module-FIG (3)

Reset tal-fabbrika
To restore the device to its factory default settings, the button pin must be held at LOW state for 10 seconds. The device will indicate the completion of the factory reset process by flashing the RGB LED in white.

Dawn il-limiti huma mfassla biex jipprovdu protezzjoni raġonevoli kontra interferenza dannuża f'installazzjoni residenzjali. Dan it-tagħmir jiġġenera, juża, u jista 'jirradja enerġija ta' frekwenza tar-radju u, jekk mhux installat u użat skont l-istruzzjonijiet, jista 'jikkawża interferenza ta' ħsara għall-komunikazzjonijiet bir-radju. Madankollu, m'hemm l-ebda garanzija li l-interferenza ma sseħħx f'installazzjoni partikolari. Jekk dan it-tagħmir jikkawża interferenza ta' ħsara għar-riċezzjoni tar-radju jew tat-televiżjoni, li tista' tiġi determinata billi jintefa u jinxtegħel it-tagħmir, l-utent huwa mħeġġeġ jipprova jikkoreġi l-interferenza b'waħda jew aktar mill-miżuri li ġejjin:

  • Orjenta mill-ġdid jew iċċaqlaq l-antenna li tirċievi.
  • Żid is-separazzjoni bejn it-tagħmir u r-riċevitur.
  • Qabbad it-tagħmir fi żbokk fuq ċirkwit differenti minn dak li miegħu huwa konness ir-riċevitur.
  • Ikkonsulta lin-negozjant jew tekniku tar-radju/TV b'esperjenza għall-għajnuna.

Attenzjoni: Kwalunkwe tibdil jew modifika għal dan l-apparat mhux approvat b'mod espliċitu mill-manifattur tista' tħassar l-awtorità tiegħek biex tħaddem dan it-tagħmir.
Dan l-apparat jikkonforma mal-parti 15 tar-Regoli tal-FCC. It-tħaddim huwa soġġett għaż-żewġ kundizzjonijiet li ġejjin:
Dan l-apparat ma jistax jikkawża interferenza ta 'ħsara, u (2) dan l-apparat għandu jaċċetta kwalunkwe interferenza riċevuta, inkluża interferenza li tista' tikkawża tħaddim mhux mixtieq.
This transmitter must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter. Country Code selection feature to be disabled for products marketed to the US/Canada. This device is intended only for OEM integrators under the following conditions: The antenna must be installed such that 5mm is maintained between the antenna and users, and the transmitter module may not be co-located with any other transmitter or antenna, As long as the two conditions above are met, further transmitter testing will not be required. However, the OEM integrator is still responsible for testing their end-product for any additional compliance requirements required with this module installed.
Nota Importanti: Fil-każ li dawn il-kundizzjonijiet ma jistgħux jintlaħqu (eżample, certain laptop configurations or co-location with another transmitter), then the FCC authorization is no longer considered valid and the FCC ID cannot be used on the final product. In these circumstances, the OEM integrator will be responsible for re-evaluating the end product (including the transmitter) and obtaining a separate FCC authorization. End Product Labeling The final end product must be labeled in a visible area with the following: “Contains FCC ID: 2ALHY-C2RMODULE”

If not, a second label must be placed on the outside of the final device that contains the following text: “Contains FCC ID: 2ALHY-C2RMODULE”. The FCC ID can be used only when all FCC compliance requirements are met.

Informazzjoni dwar Modi tat-Test u Rekwiżiti ta' Ittestjar Addizzjonali
This transmitter is tested in a standalone portable RF exposure condition and any co-located or simultaneous transmission with other transmitter(s) or for mobile products class II permissive change re-evaluation or new FCC authorization. Host manufacturer installed this module with single modular approval. The test of radiated emission and spurious emission according to FCC part 15C, 15.209, 15.207 requirement, only if the test result comply with FCC part 15C, 15.209, 15.207 requirement, then the host can be sold legally.

Ittestjar addizzjonali, Parti 15 Subparti B Ċaħda ta' responsabbiltà
Dan it-trasmettitur modulari us ittestjat bħala subsistema u ċ-ċertifikazzjoni tiegħu ma tkoprix ir-rekwiżit tar-regoli tal-Parti 15 tas-Subparti B tal-FCC applikabbli għall-host finali. L-ospitant finali xorta jkun jeħtieġ li jiġi evalwat mill-ġdid għall-konformità ma' dan il-parti tar-rekwiżiti tar-regoli jekk applikabbli. Sakemm il-kundizzjonijiet kollha ta 'hawn fuq jiġu sodisfatti, mhux se jkun meħtieġ aktar test tat-trasmettitur. Madankollu, l-integratur OEM għadu responsabbli għall-ittestjar tal-prodott finali tagħhom għal kwalunkwe rekwiżit ta 'konformità addizzjonali meħtieġ ma' dan modulari installat.

Innota Konsiderazzjonijiet EMI
The OEM integrator has to be aware not to provide information to the end user regarding how to install or remove this RF module in the user’s manual of the end product that integrates this module. The host integrator must follow the integration instructions provided in this document and ensure that the composite system end product complies with the requirements by a technical assessment or evaluation to the rules and to KDB Publication 996369. The host integrator installing this module into their product must ensure that the final composite product complies with the requirements by a technical assessment or evaluation to the rules, including the transmitter operation and should refer to guidance in KDB Publication 996369. OEM/Host Manufacturer Responsibilities OEM/Host manufacturers are ultimately responsible for the compliance of the Host and Module. The final product must be reassessed against all the essential requirements of the FCC rule such as FCC Part 15 Subpart B before it can be placed on the US market. This includes reassessing the transmitter module for compliance with the Radio and RF Exposure essential requirements of the FCC rules.

Kif tagħmel Bidliet - Nota Importanti
Fil-każ li dawn il-kundizzjonijiet ma jistgħux jiġu sodisfatti (eżample ċerti konfigurazzjonijiet tal-laptop jew ko-lokazzjoni ma 'trasmettitur ieħor), allura l-awtorizzazzjoni tal-FCC ma tibqax ikkunsidrata valida u l-ID tal-FCC ma tistax tintuża fuq il-prodott finali. F'dawn iċ-ċirkostanzi, l-integratur OEM se jkun responsabbli biex jevalwa mill-ġdid il-prodott finali (inkluż it-trasmettitur) u jikseb awtorizzazzjoni FCC separata.
