Description of the configuration parameters

2.4.16. 

“DisableReceivingNXPReadProtectedTags”

Characteristics:

available from firmware:

v2.01.00

Data type:

Bool (8-bit)

Unit:

Value range:

0; 255

Description:
If  a  tag  from  the  company  NXP  was  protected  by  “ReadProtect”,  at  inventory  it  would  no  longer  communicate 

its  EPC  or  a  valid  checksum.  The  data  content  of  the  EPC  and  the  checksum  is  zero.  To  allow  such  tags  to  be 

detected,  the  reader  allows  tags  for  which  the  EPC  and  checksum  are  zero  to  pass.  Since  such  tags  are  no 

longer  secured  with  a  valid  checksum,  it  can  happen  very  occasionally  that  the  reader  detects  such  a  tag  where 

none exists. In order to prevent this, the reception of “ReadProtected” tags can be suppressed by activation of this  

configuration parameter.

2.5. 

The configuration group “ObservedList”

2.5.1. 

“GlimpsedTimeoutCnt”

Characteristics:

available from firmware:

v1.30.00

Data type:

Byte (8-bit)

Unit:

Value range:

0-255

Description:
This  configuration  parameter  applies  only  to  asynchronous  protocol  commands  (“ASync...”).  For  the  duration 

of  an  asynchronous  command,  the  reader  compiles  a  list  of  all  the  tags  found  within  the  antenna  range.  If  a  tag 

is  present  in  the  antenna  range  for  multiple  inventories,  a  “coming”  message  is  generated  for  that  tag  and  the 

message is sent to the higher level. If a tag is no longer detected during multiple inventories, a “going” message is  

generated and sent.
Once  the  “going”  message  has  been  generated  for  a  tag,  this  configuration  parameter  specifies  the  number  of 

inventories where the tag is not detected, which then triggers deletion of this tag from the internal administration list. 

This parameter should not be changed. It has no influence over the generation of a “coming” or “going” message.  

Kathrein reserves the right to remove this parameter from firmware versions at a future point in time.

2.5.2. 

“ObservedThresholdCnt”

Characteristics:

available from firmware:

v1.30.00

Data type:

Byte (8-bit)

Unit:

Value range:

0-255

Description:
This  configuration  parameter  applies  only  to  asynchronous  protocol  commands  (“ASync...”).  For  the  duration 

of  an  asynchronous  command,  the  reader  compiles  a  list  of  all  the  tags  found  within  the  antenna  range.  If  a  tag 

is  present  in  the  antenna  range  for  multiple  inventories,  a  “coming”  message  is  generated  for  that  tag  and  the 

message is sent to the higher level. If a tag is no longer detected during multiple inventories, a “going” message is  

generated and sent.
This configuration parameter specifies the number of inventories where the tag is detected, which then triggers the 

generation of a “coming” message which is sent to the higher level.
