2.3. FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
2.3.1. Main Features
The operation is very simple: to start the tag acquiring process, the user waves the tag in front of the
unit. After the tag is recognized and validated, it is associated to driver/vehicle form the FHO
screens.
The MiFare Pod is based on advanced technology, implemented by two microcomputer subsystems:
one for handling the secure communication protocol with the tag and the other for communication
with the HO PC.
The FHO Pod includes a power supply and an RS-232 harness.
2.3.2. Supported Tags
MiFare Pod can support MiFare Tags.
MiFare is a contactless tag that can be used as a fueling tag at the gas station (see Figure 2-2). When
the tag is presented next to the Tag Reader, it reads the tag data and transmits it to the Station
Controller in the gas station. Upon verification and approval, the Station Controller activates and
releases the pump valve, so fuel can be dispense to the vehicle.
