General

In this part of the manual, you learn how to connect and configure an RFID Tag Reader to vsmStudio in order to protect or allow access to panel specific layouts.

The RFID Tag Reader is connected to a serial port of a vsmLBP hardware panel.

Please note that the serial Ports are deactivated on vsmLBP panels running as SNAP Panel (stand alone router control panel). Therefore, the RFID Tag Reader cannot be used together with SNAP panels.

To establish the connection between RFID Tag Reader and vsmLBP panel, you need to have vsmDiscover installed on your windows PC. The applicartion is part of every major VSM release, and can be downloaded from Lawo's download repository.

Preparing the Hardware Panel

1. Power up the LBP Hardware panel that you want to connect to an RFID Tag Reader and open the vsmDiscover application
2. Select the respecting panel in the left part of the window.
3. Enable the Option RFID in the Device Configuration.

Connecting the RFID Tag Reader

Please connect the RFID Tag Reader to the external power supply. As long no CAT cable is connected, the LED status indicator blinks red.

Once a CAT cable is connected between RFID Tag Reader and Panel, the LED status indicator blinks green.

Setting up the RFID Tags in vsmStudio

1. Open vsmStudio. Navigate to and open Manage RFID Tags.
   
   
   

2. Place an RFID card or chip on top of the RFID Tag Reader ...
   
   
   ...and confirm the new hardware with “Accept New Tag”.
   

3. After the tag has been successfully accepted and added to the system, a window will pop up showing the hardware ID of the RFID tag. The Name can be changed. In this modification window it is now possible to select the operational mode.
   
   
   

4. In the Access Panel drop down menu, you can select the panel which should be called up if the RFID tag is used together with the reader, in dependence with the selected mode. The list shows all configured panels (layout IDs) in the currently running vsmStudio configuration.
   
   
   

5. After confirming with OK, the RFID tag and reader are ready to be used.
   
   
   The hardware panel will show the panel (layout) that was set for this hardware as default layout.
   
   
   Once the RFID tag is close to the Reader, the panel will switch to the panel (layout) that was assigned to this tag.
   
   
   

While one RFID tag can only be assigned to one panel layout, multiple tags with different panel (layout) assignments can be used on the same reader. This way, one position can show different layouts depending on the user that is present with his own specific RFID tag.
