Protocol Specific Functionality
See the
MercuryAPI Programmers Guide
and language specific reference guides for
details on supported Gen2 command functionality.
I-PX
Protocol Configuration Options
The M6e supports multiple I-PX profiles including the ability to specify the Return Link
Frequency, encoding and modulation scheme. The two profiles are treated as distinct
protocols, the individual parameters are not configurable as with the other protocols. The
following table shows the supported combinations:
Note
The two link rates are effectively two different protocols and treated as such.
I-PX tags are fixed to one of the two frequencies and cannot communicate
on the other, unlike ISO 18000-6B/C tags which can operate under multiple
profiles.
ISO 18000-6B
Protocol Configuration Options
The M6e supports multiple ISO-18000-6B profiles including the ability to specify the
Return Link Frequency, encoding, Forward Link Rate and modulation scheme. The
protocol options are set in the MercuryAPI Reader Configuration Parameters (/reader/
iso18000-6b/*). The following table shows the supported combinations:
