Region
To meet different radio regulations around the world, the reader can be configured to work in different
regions. Each reader model comes in two versions: EU and US. Each reader version supports a number of
regions as listed in the table below. Default values are shown in bold.
The region can be changed under Settings…/RF/EPC Gen 2 in the web interface.

Tag Reading
By default, the reader reads tags with maximum read range and outputs tag data in a way that is suitable
for most applications. If necessary, the tag reading process is highly configurable. Most settings controlling
tag reading are available under Settings…/RF/EPC Gen 2 in the web interface.
The EPC Gen 2 specification [3] mentions three operations on tag populations: select, inventory, and
access. The reader automatically performs all of these when the "Carrier" setting is on. The tag reading
process is show in Figure 20 and described in the following sections.
Figure 20 Reading tags
4.3.1 Carrier and Read Level
The "Carrier" setting is used to enable/disable reading. When Carrier is on (default) the reader reads tags.
The "Read level" setting controls the read range. The default value 100 corresponds to maximum read
range.
4.3.2 EPC Select
The "EPC select" setting defines which tags the reader will talk to. Selection is done by specifying a binary
value and a part of tag memory that must match the value. Only tags that match will respond to the reader's
query. The default value "*" selects all tags.
4.3.3 EPC Memory Bank/Custom Format
The settings "EPC memory bank" and "EPC custom format" specifies which parts of the tag memory that
will be read by the reader. Available options include EPC/SecureMarkID (default), SecureMarkID, EPC, TID
and "Custom Format".
If "EPC memory bank" is set to "Custom Format" the "EPC custom format" setting specifies which parts of
the tag memory that will be read.
4.3.4 Tag Filter
The tag filter (under Settings…/Tag Filter in the web interface) specifies how often tags are reported. Tags
can be reported every time they are read, periodically or once. It is also possible to get a tag event when a
tag is no longer read by the reader. It is possible to activate read beep and read blink to get an indication
every time a tag is reported.
