1. While in active mode, the light flashes at random indicating the reader
has read one or more tags each time it flashes. Because the reader
can decode tags faster than the light can be turned on and off, a single
flash may indicate more than one tag being decoded. When the
Scorpion I Reader is using the auto-registration mode, the activity light
flashes may indicate auto-registration activity prior to reporting tag IDs
to the network.
2. While in standby mode, the reader’s Tag Activity light turns on and off
at a distinctively cyclic rate that indicates the reader is in standby mode.
The
Wireless Ethernet Antenna
is positioned on the outside of the Scorpion I
chassis while being plugged into the Client Bridge inside the chassis. The
antenna is on the end of a PCMCIA card that is plugged into the Client Bridge
through a cutout in the Scorpion I enclosure.

Ethernet Connector
is an RJ-45 Ethernet jack to be used as the termination
point when this reader is part of a wired Ethernet LAN network. This reader
can be connected to a standard 10 Mbps network or a 10/100 Mbps network
that can switch speeds down to 10 Mbps.
Chassis Ground Terminator
is a screw terminal that can be used to
electrically ground the Scorpion I chassis. Normally this termination is not
used because the reader is grounded through the third wire ground lead in the
power connector. The only time this Chassis Ground terminator should be
used is if the ground through the power connection is not connected.
Caution:
Do not install this reader with both grounds connected
.
If
both grounds are connected, severe damage to the reader may result
during a near proximity lightning strike.
