Keyboard mode

In Keyboard Mode, the RFID reader behaves like a keyboard (Human Interface Device – HID). RFID UKB (Keyboard Mode) refers to a function where an RFID reader sends the read RFID chip ID to a computer as keyboard input. This allows the ID to be used in applications that can process keyboard input, such as text editors (e.g., Word, Notepad) or spreadsheets (e.g., Excel), without requiring special software or interfaces.

• Keyboard Mode: In Keyboard Mode, the reader sends the read RFID ID as if it were entered by a keyboard.
• How it works: When an RFID tag is brought near the reader, the tag's ID is read and sent to the computer as keyboard input.
• Applications: This function is useful for integrating RFID data into existing applications without the need for a special software connection.
• Examples: A typical scenario is reading employee ID cards with RFID chips. The ID is then automatically transferred into a time tracking program or another system that can process keyboard input.
• Benefits: Using RFID in Keyboard Mode offers a simple and flexible way to integrate RFID data into various applications without requiring complex software development.

In summary, RFID UKB Keyboard Mode is a simple method for integrating RFID data into applications that can process keyboard input by sending the RFID ID to the computer as keystrokes.

Answer mode

In Answer Mode, the RFID reader communicates with the adapter via a specific protocol. The host (e.g., smartphone or PC) sends specific commands (e.g., "Search Tags"), and the adapter (reader) responds with the data found.
