The purpose of this product is to provide a truly mobile e-Link tag reader device that detects and 
displays information giving relative proximity of the Tags it is receiving messages from.  
 
It is designed to plug into the PCMCIA card slot of a Windows CE based off the shelf device running 
“eLink Mobile ReaderWare” (eMR) executable software. 
                
 

 

 

 

 

Insert the eLink PCMCIA Card (ePC) in the device (e.g. Hewlet Packard  I-PAQ 5500 pocket PC) and 
power up the unit.  Launch eMR (eLink Mobile ReaderWare) from the keypboard or touchscreen.  The 
ePC will not power up until initiated through eMR. 

The antenna position is not critical but will generally give best reception if extended away from the 
host device.  There are no user adjustments required for the receiver. 

 

 

 

 

Refer to eAC HUB network installation instructions for network cabling requirements. 

• 

At the start screen, select either SHOW ALL TAGS or SEARCH FOR TAGS. 

• 

eMR tries to establish communication to the “eLink PCMCIA Card”. If the card is detected the 
software enters Active Mode and proceeds to the selected screen. 

• 

If the card is not detected, the software returns to Passive Mode and shows an error message. 

• 

While in Active Mode, if no user input is detected for more then 5 minutes and “Power Saver” 
option is selected in “PCMCIA Settings” screen, the Active Mode reverts to Passive Mode 
automatically
