User Guide for the 2128P Bluetooth® UHF RFID Reader with ePop-Loq® and High Gain Antenna |
To connect a TSL® Reader to a desktop PC via a USB connection, the necessary Virtual COM Port (VCP) drivers must be downloaded from http://www.ftdichip.com/Drivers/VCP.htm. Note that there is a setup executable on the same page, which will install the drivers for you. |
This document provides a comparison of the two available modes of operation (SPP and HID) using Bluetooth® Wireless Technology. |
This document provides details of how to rapidly locate hard to find tagged items using TSL’s tag-finding Apps such as 'RFID Tag Finder' (available for Android™ and Windows Phone) or the Find-a-Tag feature in 'RFID Explorer for iOS'. |
User Guide for UHF Smart Wedge ASCII 2 .NET for Windows Desktop. UHF Smart Wedge ASCII 2 is a solution that converts UHF transponder reads and barcode scans from TSL® ASCII Protocol UHF readers into keyboard presses. This enables UHF and barcode data to be scanned into legacy applications without any changes to the application. |

Updated to support the ASCII protocol v2.4. |
UHF Smart Wedge ASCII 2 is a solution that converts UHF transponder reads and barcode scans from TSL® ASCII Protocol UHF readers into keyboard presses. This enables UHF and barcode data to be scanned into legacy applications without any changes to the application. v1.20 fixes a number of issues including reading from user memory The User Guide can be downloaded here. |
Added and updated many new Response Field Headers and Commands.

TSL® Readers can be operated in Bluetooth® SPP mode where the Reader is controlled by a custom written application or in HID mode, where the Reader behaves like a Bluetooth® Keyboard. This document details how to switch between these modes. |
The TSL® range of Bluetooth® Readers are able to appear to host devices as an HID keyboard. In this mode the data read by the reader is sent to the host as if it were typed on the host’s keyboard. This document describes the Bluetooth® HID mode in more detail. |
This document details Log file and Autorun file commands/responses that can be used with TSL® Readers with a micro-SD card installed. |
This document recaps the behaviour and operation of UHF transponders with respect to selecting, reading and writing, and provides some examples of how to achieve this with the TSL ASCII 2 Protocol. |
It is often necessary to change the existing EPC of a tag to a new value to support either standards-based or custom encoding formats. This document provides examples of how to modify the EPC identifier using the TSL RFID Explorer App. |

Information on enabling Bluetooth® Auto-Reconnect Mode on iOS Devices. |
Information relating to submitting your TSL-hardware enabled apps to the App Store. |
This document details appropriate parameters for an Inventory command in a reader supporting the TSL ASCII 2 protocol (such as the 1128 Bluetooth® UHF RFID Reader) to be used in the implementation of a “Tag Finder” operation. |
This document describes how to update the Bluetooth® Firmware within a TSL® UHF RFID Reader |
Technology Solutions (UK) Ltd has implemented a common object model for Android, iOS, Windows Desktop, Windows Mobile and Windows Phone. This document is provided as an overview of using this object model to perform ASCII 2 commands with a TSL ASCII 2 device |
This document describes USB charging behaviour, safety features and the best programming practises for tethered mode operation. |
This Windows application connects to a TSL® RFID Reader (via a USB connection) in order to generate diagnostic information that can be emailed to our Support team. The Virtual COM Port driver must be installed in order for this application to function correctly. V1.7 - Improved Bluetooth® and RFID tests. Please uninstall previous version before installing this one. V1.4 - Further Bluetooth® and barcode engine tests added. |
HID keyboard mapping file for French (FR) keyboard layout v1.00 First release |
HID keyboard mapping file for United States (US) keyboard layout (NB This is the default layout and not normally required) |
v1.5.0 New charging/low-battery indications on antenna LED's |
v1.4.0 New Singapore regulatory region "sga" (same as old "sg") |
The document describes the process of updating firmware to a TSL ASCII Protocol Reader. |
Version 2.7.0 In this release we introduce a Basic/Advanced mode toggle switch in the Settings. All the functionality of the previous release is now available by switching to Advanced Mode but to provide a gentler introduction for new users, the App defaults to Basic mode. Basic Mode consists of: This release also adds support for the 2128P and 2128L readers. |
v1.3.1 Added option for Inverse 1D barcode setting v1.2.0 For ePop-Loq and USB OTG connected Readers: The Reader clock can now be reset to the current time from the Options screen. |
3.3.1 This release provides support for using the built-in barcode scanner for Honeywell Android handheld devices such as the D75e, CT40, CT50, CT60 & EDA51. This feature uses the "Honeywell Android Data Collection Intent API" so may require an update to the Common_ES package on the device. Tags with an existing EPC over 256 bits long can now be encoded. Improved writing to small tags |
This special version of RFID Tag Finder for Android, with the same feature set as the Play Store App, is able to connect to Readers with ePop-Loq® connectors, such as the 2128 , 218P and 2166 UHF RFID Readers. Snap a terminal, in an ePop-Loq® case, onto the Reader and the App will automatically launch, connect and be ready for use! Note that there is no support for Bluetooth® device connections in this version. This App can be installed along-side the Play Store (Bluetooth®) version and will identify as "TSL ePL Tag Finder". |

Welcome to the full release of the next major version of the Tsl.AsciiProtocol SDK for .NET Standard development. With this release we debut Reader Operations - an alternative API to simplify many of the common RFID tasks such as Inventory, Scanning barcodes, Reading from and Writing to tags. We have also implemented a "Tag Finder" Operation, an oft requested addition to the TSL SDK. The SDK ships with a multi-page, Xamarin Forms Sample Project, built to demonstrate the use of the ReaderOperations and AsciiTransportsManager API. The Sample App supports Android, iOS, Windows UWP and Windows WPF. This release uses the Tsl.AsciiProtocol.Std library v1.4.0 (available via NuGet) which contains many new features including:
The Tsl.AsciiProtocol.Std library is also designed to be backwards-compatible with Tsl.AsciiProtcol PCL library code to provide your project with a smooth transition to .NET Standard. The release contains documentation in HTML format (Docs/HTML folder) Open "Docs/HTML/Index.html" with your favourite browser and go to the Concepts Page where you will find information about TSL's APIs and the Getting Started guide. |
TSL ASCII 2 Software Development Kit – for Android™ v 2.2.1 This is the full release of the significant update for the Android SDK - bringing new commands, such as BlockPermalockCommand and FindTagCommand, along with new Sample Projects to demonstrate their use. Click here for more information on this update. |
The v1.2 release of the TSL cross-platform, Xamarin SDK (for PCL-based projects) is now available. This release uses the Tsl.AsciiProtocol PCL library v1.3.6 (available via NuGet) which contains many new features including:
The Sample Projects, in this release, have all been updated to demonstrate USB support for UWP Apps and fix minor bugs. The new, cross-platform, .NET Standard SDK will be released shortly and we recommend that it is used for all new projects. |
TSL ASCII 2.0 SDK v1.4.1 for iOS adds support for the 2128 UHF RFID Reader and provides a popLoqMode parameter on the FactoryDefaultsCommand to allow changes to the mode of the ePop-Loq® connector on compatible devices. Bug fixes: All Sample projects have been updated to address a connection issue when switching Apps using the iOS task-switcher. This change moves the disconnection of the current Reader into the will ResignActive: method. We strongly recommend developers implement this approach to ensure multiple Apps can work effectively while sharing a single Reader. See the included "Framework Version History.txt" file for additional release details. |
