MUX Operational Modes
To enable antenna multiplexing (muxing) operational modes, issue the
following commands
#836/#837 – Disable/enable MPRX mode
#850 – RF port 0 only (factory default)
#851 – mux between RF ports 0 and 1
#852 – mux between RF ports 0, 1, and 2
#853 – mux between RF ports 0, 1, 2, and 3
#552 – Display mux setting. This display message will include “MPRX” if MPRX mode is
enabled (#837).
When MPRX mode is disabled, the reader will continuously step through each port that
has been enabled with #85X, stepping through whichever tag protocols are enabled on
each port, in order. The reader turning RF on will be qualified “RF on by sense” setting.
Command #6401 is used to turn RF on continuously and bypass the RF on by sense.
Sense0 is used for all antennas that are enabled, if RF is turned on by sense, #641.
When MPRX mode is enabled, you must use Sense0 and Sense1 to turn on RF and read
tags. Sense0, when shorted to reader signal ground, will enable tag reads on RF ports 0
and 1 (if enabled with #851) and Sense1 will enable tag reads on Ports 2 and 3 (if enabled
with #853). For example, if commands #837 and #853 have been entered, Sense0 is open,
