PB4DGSCN100Data Guard RF Scan Station

Introduction The Imation DataGuard rf™ Scan Station uses the latest RFID technology to track the movement of cartridges in and out of a data center, off-site facility, or DR location. The Scan Station reads RFID-enabled cartridges, either individually or within a transport case, as they arrive and exit a location. The DataGuard rf™ Tape Tracking System automatically logs each cartridge transaction into a tracking database that is linked to the customer’s tape management system. This solution efficiently accounts for the location of all data cartridges and provides both reporting and audit capabilities. DataGuard rf Scan Station Contents* 1. DataGuard rf Scan Station (Model #DGSCN-100) 2. DataGuard rf RFID Antenna Pad (Model #DGANT-100) Safety Instructions—please read thoroughly before using the Scan Station! Always follow the basic precautions listed below to avoid the possibility of serious injury or even death from electrical shock, short-circuiting, damages, fire or other hazards. These precautions include, but are not limited to, the following: ƒ Keep a copy of the operating manual close to the Scan Station for easy reference for all operators. ƒ Follow the Operator’s Manual carefully. Follow the correct procedure when setting up the device. ƒ The Scan Station reader model DGSCN-100 and Antenna Pad model DGANT-100 are designed to work together. Neither should be used with other unauthorized equipment. 1 3. RS-232 Cable** (Part #XX-XXXX-XXXX-X) 4. Power Cable Preliminary Copy **This RS-232 Cable must be used to minimize risk of harmful interference. *Specifications are subject to change without notice. ƒ Do not open this device or attempt to disassemble or modify it. The device contains no user-serviceable parts. If it appears to be malfunctioning, have it inspected by qualified service personnel. Modifying or disassembling the product will void the warranty on this product. ƒ Do not expose this device to rain, use it near water or in damp or wet conditions, or place containers on it that contain liquids that might spill into an opening. ƒ If unusual smells, sounds, or smoke emanate from the Scan Station or if liquids enter the Scan Station, switch its power off immediately and unplug it from the power outlet. ƒ Make sure the host computer and the Scan Station are properly electrically grounded. This device should be used in compliance with all national legal requirements and local electrical codes. ƒ The electrical socket outlet should be close to this device and easily accessible. ƒ Use this device only with the Imation DataGuard rf Tape Tracking System and associated software. ƒ Pacemaker warning The Scan Station creates an electromagnetic field below valid limits defined for cardiac pacemakers, but there should be a minimum distance of 25 cm (10 inches) between the antenna pad and a cardiac pacemaker. People with cardiac pacemakers should not remain close to the antenna pad for any lengthy amount of time. ƒ Service warning for qualified service personnel— Caution o Disconnect the power cord before servicing. o The Scan Station uses a double-pole/neutral fuse. o The fact that the LEDs have turned off does not mean that the device is discharged. No part of this publication may be reproduced, transmitted, transcribed, stored in a retrieval system, or translated into any language in any term by any means without the written permission of Imation Corporation. Imation reserves the right to make any changes or improvements in the products described in this document at any time without prior notice. 2 Setting up the DataGuard rf Scan Station and Antenna Pad Follow these steps to set up and properly position the Scan Station reader and antenna pad: • Make sure the host computer is turned off and that no power is supplied to the Scan Station. o The host computer should be using the either Windows® 2000 or XP operating systems. o The host computer should have the RFID tracking software for the DataGuard rf Tape Tracking System installed (see Section 3 of the manual for the DataGuard rf Tape Tracking System). • Set up the antenna pad away from large pieces of metal that may interfere with the operation of the antenna. o No power should be applied to the Scan Station reader until after the antenna pad is attached. o The Scan Station reader must be at least 15 cm (6 inches) away from the antenna pad. ƒ Leave sufficient space around the Scan Station reader and antenna pad to allow proper air circulation to avoid overheating. ƒ Position the Scan Station reader so that the operator can observe the activity LEDs (see below) during scanning or initialization of the tags. o The antenna pad must be at least 50cm (20 inches) away from large pieces of metal. Large pieces of metal include— ƒ Table legs, edges, and drawers ƒ Metal cabinets, cases, and equipment ƒ Metal studs in walls ƒ Small pieces of metal may also affect the antenna depending on their size and orientation. ƒ Keep coiled cable or wire away from the antenna. ƒ If there is a second Scan Station near by, its antenna must be at least XX cm (XX feet) from this Scan Station or any other 13.56 MHz HF RFID antenna. • Connect the antenna pad cable to the scanner body. See Figure 1 below. o Arrange the antenna pad cable away from the antenna. Figure1 • Attach RS-232 cable from the Scan Station reader to the suitable RS-232/COM port on the host computer. o Arrange the RS-232 cable away from the antenna pad. o Note—the operating system on the host computer will only allocate the COM port once on start-up. Do not user other software on the COM port because it might interfere with the operation of the Scan Station. 3 o Use only the supplied RS-232 cable to maintain minimum radio interference. • Plug the power cable from the Scan Station reader into a suitable (100-240VAC; 50- 60Hz) electrical power outlet. o Arrange the power cable away from the antenna pad. • Turn on the host computer to allow it to recognize the Scan Station.
