Installation
This section provides guidance for configuring components in your RFID system.
You should consider the overall design of your specific system before
permanently mounting the equipment.
Installation involves all the same connection steps required for bench test.
However, instead of placing equipment on a tabletop, the reader, antenna, and
their accessories are mounted in your application environment.
Requirements
Before installing your RFID Reader system, you will need the following:
A PC running Windows 98 or higher, with Ethernet connectivity and,
optionally, one available RS-232 serial port.
Standard 120 or 220 VAC power for the reader
Host software (Gateway, for example)
(Optional) extra antennas (if desired for additional coverage or
configurations)
Additional RS-232 cables or antenna coax cables needed to
accommodate routing requirements
Standard grounded, three-pronged power cord of desired length
Mounting hardware suitable for the surface to which equipment is to be
attached (e.g., wood screws, moly-bolts, brackets, etc.)
