Introduction
Figure 1. ID TECH OmniFare The OmniFare is a contactless (proximity) Smart Card reader and a magnetic-stripe reader combined into a single, convenient solution. The reader provides reading of Magnetic-stripe cards passed through a card slot, and reading proximity cards held within the reader’s field range. The product is fully capable of outdoor and unattended operations. The OmniFare mounts to a countertop or a horizontal surface. The reader can be mounted on countertop using the Velcro supplied with the unit. The housing is designed for vandal resistance, rugged use, and weather resistant operation. PCB conformal coating is available as an option. There are four LED on the top of housing visible to the cardholders when they use the reader. These LED provide operation indications for the Magnetic stripe and the proximity reading operations OmniFare reads Mifare contactless cards for access control, identity, loyality, health care and similar applications. The reader also accepts data from a variety of contactless styles, including credit cards and key fobs. The reader complies with ISO/IEC 14443 implementation specifications. This supports the MIFARE Classic (Standard) and MIFARE Ultralight cards. OmniFare reads Magnetic-stripe cards used for payment, loyalty, identification, and other magnetic-stripe applications. The Magnetic-stripe reader has dual reading heads so customer can obtain a good read operation without concern with stripe orientation.

OmniFare™ User Manual The OmniFare is a peripheral device for new or existing applications, providing a new technology upgrade by replacing existing Magnetic-stripe equipment with a single reader, which has both technologies. The reader is connected to existing systems through an RS232 or USB port. A general purpose SDK and API are available. The API provides hooks for application interfacing to the reader; direct interface programming is not required. The SDK sample is written in C for compiling to help in building the application. This document provides the information for installing and using the OmniFare products.

Installation
The OmniFare should be installed in a suitable location where the unit’s environmental specifications are not exceeded. High heat, extreme cold, and liquids must be avoided for reliable operation. Avoid locations with direct sunlight as the UV radiation may cause color fading. The reader location should allow convenient and practical access for the customer. If attendants are in the location, the location should allow the attendant to observe operation so assistance can be provided when necessary. The customer must be able to present conveniently their contactless card to the Proximity card-reading surface (Landing Plane), marked by the Contactless Symbol, or conveniently swipe their card through the magnetic-stripe slot.
Figure 2. Contactless Symbol There are two communication options, which are RS232 or USB-HID. The OmniFare is factory pre-configured with one of the two communication interfaces. Units are factory supplied with either an RS232 or a USB communications interface cable. The factory set interface option cannot be changed. The cable types cannot be interchanged.
3.1
RS232 Configured Units
Connect the RJ45 or the DB9 adaptor connector into the Host equipment communication port. An A/C power adaptor is required to supply power to the RS232 and USB units. To apply power to the unit, first connect the power supply connector into the pigtail connector near the RJ45 connector. Then, plug the power supply module into a wall power receptacle to power up the unit. This power connection sequence is preferred; the sequence is not required. A RJ45 to DB9 adaptor connector is supplied with the unit. WARNING: The power adaptor can have input (wall) voltage limitations; DO NOT plug a 120VAC power adaptor into a 240VAC wall outlet.
3.2
USB Configured Units
Plug the USB connector into a USB communication port on the Host. No A/C power adaptor is needed to power up the USB unit. Power is supplied through the USB port. In both cases, the host communication port may need to be configured for the product.

Operation

General
Description OmniFare with RS232 interface cable/connector and power supply OmniFare with USB interface cable/connector
The OmniFare is operated through a POS application command and response (API message) structure. The POS application runs on terminal equipment, a PC, or similar device. Commands cause OmniFare operations; the OmniFare provides command responses back to the POS application. Responses are results from commands and can include data. The full command and response protocol operations are provided in a separate API Manual document. 4.1.1 Power-Up Sequence Each time power is applied to the OmniFare, the unit performs a Power-Up sequence that includes a self-test. The LED show a Power-Up sequence. 4.1.2 Audio and LED operation There is an audio output device providing a single audio tone and LED feedback to signal a card reading and acceptance event. The feedback sequence is an industry standard for contactless card acceptance. The sequence for a magnetic-stripe read operation is, all LED are on at one time with an audio beep. 4.1.3 Using OmniFare After power on OmniFare is connected with PC, the user can read the listed Mifare cards and Magnetic-stripe cards. Customers hold their proximity card or fob near the reader Landing Plane (reading surface) to initiate a purchase transaction. The area is identified by the Contactless Symbol. Magnetic stripe cards are swiped through the card slot. The steps are: 1. Ready State - OmniFare is in the ready state when a single indicator light (leftmost LED) shows. This indicates that reader is ready to accept a card. 2a. Reading Contactless - The contactless smart card is presented to the reader. The best reading range is typically 1.5 inches (4 cm) away from the reading plane. Once the card has been read, (this typically takes 0.2 seconds), OmniFare will turn on, in a sequence, the four LED from left to right. Once all visual indicators are lit, they will stay on for approximately 0.3 seconds, during which the audio beeper is on. This indicates that the contactless card or device has been read.

Installation Troubleshooting
There are some problems user may encounter when installing OmniFare. • • • • •
•
6.0
If the RS232 Reader could not communicate with PC, check if the Host RS232 communication parameters corresponds with the default parameters of OmniFare -- ”38400,8,1,None” Check that the power supply of the reader is connected to the interface cable and to the line power supply wall outlet. Check the connection of the Reader to the PC or Terminal. In case of a contactless card read failure, check the card type. The card must be a contactless card with MagStripe operation format (North American MS standards) and held within 4cm of the reading surface during card read. Check the reader is working in Application On mode. Then present the card to the reader. If each LED turns on one by one and then off and a long beep is heard, the reader is operating. If there is no data output, check the AutoMode or BufferMode for data sending settings. If LED does not change and no beep is sent, contact the ID TECH support department. Other problems can be in the contactless reader application. The application may have been written for other products and is not compliant with OmniFare reader commands and protocol. Check OmniFare User Manual, Technical Reference or contact the support group of the reader application supplier.
Maintenance
There are no serviceable components in the OmniFare reader. Maintenance is limited to periodic cleaning of the unit to remove oils and dirt. To clean the unit, use a soft cloth moistened with warm water and a small amount of mild detergent. Disconnect or remove power from the unit and wipe the exterior with the moistened cloth. Caution should be used not to saturate the any area, which would permit liquid to enter the unit. Wipe the unit only enough to clean the surface oil and dirt. There are no serviceable parts inside the reader; opening the reader terminates the warranty.
