Note:
The Intel R1000 Development Platform will always initialize in FCC mode, irrespective
of whether the platform hardware is targeted for FCC or ETSI compliant regions. Please
consult with your regulatory advisor to ensure you have the correct licences in place to
broadcast in the FCC or ETSI spectrum. In order to configure Intel R1000 Development
Platform to ETSI mode please consult Intel RFID Tracer User Guide.
Note:
All computer boards are sensitive to electrostatic discharge. Handle all static-sensitive
boards and components at a static-safe work area, and observe anti-static precautions at all
times.
Note:
The Intel R1000 Development Platform is shipped with the Intel R1000 Firmware in
persistent storage on the platform. No loading of the firmware is required in order to get the
platform to read tags.
Note:
The Intel R1000 Development Platform default register setting values allow tags to be
read out of the box.
Note:
Do not apply power to the system until the TX antenna ports have been terminated
either by an antenna or a termination connector.
