Chapter 8 Configuring the MPRX
This chapter provides instructions for configuring the Multiprotocol
Reader Extreme (MPRX). The information includes factory configuration
parameter defaults and instructions for using terminal emulation
software to verify and change the MPRX factory configuration defaults.
Configuring the Reader
After installing the MPRX, you need to configure its operating parameters. Terminal settings
should be initially set at 9600 baud, 8 data bits, no parity, 1 stop bit, and no flow control.
Default Operating Parameter Settings
Table 8 – 1 contains the factory default configuration settings for the MPRX operating
parameters. The default configuration settings may not be the correct operating
configuration settings for a specific site. Changes to the configuration settings may have
to be made, depending on the site plan, as described in “Chapter 2 Developing the Site
Plan” on page 2–2 Review the default configurations shown in
Table 8 – 1 to determine
which parameters, in addition to operating frequency and operating range, need to be
adjusted. Refer to
“Chapter 7 Commands” on page 7–2 for a complete list of parameters
and the corresponding commands.
Note: The dual-protocol MPRX internal timing varies depending on the operative tag
read mode and the type of tag in the read field.
