Nordic ID EXA21 User Guide

Version 1.0

NOTE! Bluetooth Low Energy needs to be supported by host device

1.8. CONNECTIONS

Nordic ID EXA21 supports Bluetooth Low Energy Class 2 and USB connections for host devices.

Supported Bluetooth Low Energy versions are 4.0 – 5.0 and supported profiles are GATT (generic data

transfer) and HID (keyboard emulation).

CONNECTING WITH HOST DEVICE

There are four ways to connect Nordic ID EXA with host device, being the third one (Nordic ID Smart

Pair) the most advanced and easiest way to connect wirelessly.

1. Connect without pairing via Bluetooth

Nordic ID EXA will advertise itself via Bluetooth until the host device connects to it. Bluetooth

connection remains active until the host device closes the connection. Once the connection is

closed Nordic ID EXA21 will start advertising itself again and any host device can connect to it.

2. Connect with secure pairing via Bluetooth

When Nordic ID EXA21 is paired with the host device, applications (like Nordic ID RFID demo)

connects to it automatically. Connection remains active if the host device is in Bluetooth range.

Entering a security PIN in the host device is needed to allow pairing. This code is unique and

consists of the 6 last digits of the device serial number.

3. Connect with Nordic ID Smart Pair feature

The new awesome Nordic ID Smart Pair feature provides an exceptionally easy way to connect

and disconnect host device to our EXA readers. Just select “Nordic ID Smart Pair” from

“Connection” listing in Nordic ID RFID Demo and host device starts looking for the EXA readers.

4. Connect via USB

The new awesome Nordic ID Smart Pair feature provides an exceptionally easy way to connect

and disconnect host device to our EXA readers. Just select “Nordic ID Smart Pair” from

“Connection” listing in Nordic ID RFID Demo and host device starts looking for the EXA readers.

1.8.1.1. PAIRING NORDIC ID EXA21 WITH A HOST DEVICE

Before Nordic ID EXA21 can be paired with the host device, pairing support needs to be enabled. This

can be done using Nordic ID RFID demo. Connect Nordic ID EXA21 to host device and go to Settings ->

Reader -> Host device connection -> check Pairing enabled tick box

Nordic ID EXA21 can be paired based on the instructions below once pairing has been enabled.

1. Turn Bluetooth of the host device On.

NOTE: Android 6.0 or newer needs location to be enabled also

2. Power on the Nordic ID EXA21 by pressing the power button for 2...3 seconds

3. Open Bluetooth connection settings of host device and you should see “EXA21 XXXXXX” in the list

4. Select “EXA21 XXXXXX” from the list in order pair your host device with the Nordic ID EXA21

5. Enter “XXXXXX” as the security pairing code in your host device.

NOTE! XXXXXX is a serial number of the Nordic ID EXA21

Nordic ID EXA21 User Guide

Version 1.0

iOS devices typically prompt “pairing request” message box if Nordic ID EXA21 supports pairing. In case

pairing is not needed, user can press “cancel” button and device connect without the pairing. If iOS device

is going to be used without the pairing, please disable pairing support and then “pairing request” prompt

doesn’t appear anymore.

Other host devices can’t connect to Nordic ID EXA21 until pairing information has been cleared from the

host device and Nordic ID EXA21. Unpairing can be done based on information found from section 1.8.3.

1.8.1.2. CONNECTING WITH HOST DEVICE VIA HID MODE

In this mode, the Nordic ID EXA21 functions and communicates in a similar manner as a keyboard.

Therefore, the device will work with any application that supports an active cursor on input fields, for

example web browser applications. This mode works both when connecting to host via Bluetooth or when

connecting via USB. When operating in HID mode, the Nordic ID EXA21 needs to be paired with the host

device (if Bluetooth connection is used) and configured for the HID mode.

1.8.1.3. CONNECTING WITH NORDIC ID SMART PAIR FEATURE

When using a Nordic ID EXA21 reader fastened to the back side of a smartphone, both the Nordic ID

EXA21 reader and your smartphone are always close to each other while being used. Nordic ID Smart

Pair is aware of this and thus it keeps the connection only when they are close to each other.

•Connecting: One can connect the host device to the EXA reader just by placing host device close

to the EXA reader.

•Disconnecting: Just move the host device further away from the EXA21 to disconnect

automatically.

In this mode, the Nordic ID EXA21 keeps connected to host device only when it is located nearby it, but

if you want to wear your EXA21 and use your mobile device separated from it, then you can disable the

“Auto disconnect from EXA21/EXA51e” option from “Reader” tab in Nordic ID RFID Demo for Android.

In this mode, the mobile device doesn’t disconnect automatically when moved further away.

Disconnecting will be done by pressing Power and Scan buttons simultaneously 3 seconds (LED stops

blinking).

Requirements: Nordic ID RFID demo app 1.2.7.3 (or newer) and EXA21 with firmware 2.2.5 (or newer).

The Nordic ID Smart Pair feature is always enabled in Nordic ID RFID Wear OS app.

CONFIGURING HID MODE WITH APPLICATION

1. Install Nordic ID RFID Demo application (see section 2.1)

2. Connect your device

3. Turn on HID mode, RFID mode in reader settings

4. Close application and make sure Bluetooth connection is closed

5. Reboot your EXA21 device by pressing the power button for 5...6 seconds.

NOTE! When the Nordic ID EXA21 is configured for HID mode, remember that you will need to

reconnect the Nordic ID EXA21 after using non-HID applications (such as Nordic ID RFID Demo).

This will enable the HID mode again. The easiest way to do this is turn off/on Bluetooth of host

device.

Version 1.0

NOTE! The unpairing function is disabled when the Nordic ID EXA21

has an active Bluetooth connection with host device

UNPAIR A BLUETOOTH DEVICE

If Nordic ID EXA21 is paired to the host device, it stores information about the paired devices and tries

to connect automatically when turned on. Unpairing process clears the paired device from the memory

of Nordic ID EXA21.

Unpairing:

•Make sure device is disconnected.

•Press and keep “Power” and “Scan” buttons down at least 3 second.

•When device beeps three times, pairing is cleared. Device may reboot.

1.9. USING THE READER

BUTTONS

Nordic ID EXA21 has one sensor (ToF) and two physical buttons for user interactions: Scan button and

Power button. Location of the buttons and ToF sensor can be seen in Picture 4.

Picture 4 Location of the buttons

Scanning of RFID tags can be triggered using the Scan button or the ToF sensor, which allows two

different behaviours for different uses cases:

•Scan button: the behaviour is push one’s to trigger the scanning and second push to stop it.

•ToF sensor: the behaviour is scanning as long as it’s triggered.

1.9.1.1. SCAN BUTTON

Nordic ID EXA21 User Guide

Version 1.0

NOTE! Reader can be powered down even though it has an active

Bluetooth connection by pressing power button down at least 5 seconds

NOTE! HID operation is slow and it’s not very useful for cases where

need to read and transfer high amount of tags (> 5)

The scan button is located at the top of the reader. It can be used to start/stop UHF RFID scanning. When

turning the reader on the scan button needs to be pressed 0.5 seconds until blue LED starts blinking

before it triggers. This ensures that accidental presses are avoided. Depending on the application in use,

the trigger button starts/stops UHF RFID reading. By default, the first press of the button starts the

reading and the second press of the button stops it.

1.9.1.2. TOF SENSOR

The ToF sensor is located on the front side of the reader. It is used to trigger UHF RFID scanning instead

of using the Scan button. ToF mode is disabled by default. When enabled, the ToF sensor sends an

artificial light signal. UHF RFID scanning is automatically performed while any item interrupts this signal,

e.g., an object or your finger is placed in front of the sensor. Once the item disappears from the sensor

line of sight, UHF RFID scanning stops.

1.9.1.3. POWER BUTTON

Power button turns reader On/Off. The power button needs to be pressed for about 1…2 seconds until

red LED turns to green before it triggers. The power button is disabled when Nordic ID EXA21 has an

active Bluetooth connection with the host device.

HID RFID MODE

Reading RFID tags:

•Scanning is triggered with Scan button or ToF sensor RFID reading starts

•Reader read tags and stores them in memory as long as scanning is not stopped. Short beep when

new tags found

•Releasing trigger (2nd push of Scan button or removing item from ToF sensor) Reading stops and

tags in memory will be transmitted to HID. Short beep when single tag sent. If no tags found, double

low note beeps.
