Figure 4.1 The MAC address
The green Ethernet Activity LED acts as well as the Ethernet Link LED.
Green LED constantly ON signals that the reader is connected to an Ethernet
network. Green LED starts blinking to signal activity on the Ethernet with the XC-
RF300 reader.
Orange LED is only used to provide feedback on the reader being powered up or
not.
Beware to plug your Ethernet interface on the correct RJ45 connector (i.e.
Ethernet)
Either straight or crossed Ethernet cable can be used, as the reader auto-detect
the cable type.
All cables must be correctly shielded. The shielding effectiveness of the material
used should be of good performance (60 dB minimum), especially in the
frequency range of 10 to 60 MHz. The addition of ferrite clamps near the reader
unit will increase common mode rejection. INVENGO antenna products are
delivered with good performance shielded coaxial cables with 6 ferrite beads
already mounted to increase shielding effectiveness at low frequencies.
