Configuring MPRX Parameters
Follow the procedures in this section to configure MPRX parameters using a PC, laptop,
or terminal emulator. The PC or laptop must be connected to and communicating with the
MPRX, and the terminal emulation application must be configured correctly, as described in
the section
“Verifying Communications” on page 8-7 .
To configure parameters
1. Switch to command mode by typing #01 at the prompt on the terminal emulation
screen, and pressing ENTER.
Note: All MPRX commands are preceded by the start-of-message character (#).
2. To meet requirements of your site, make changes to default operating parameters as
described in the following sections.
The following sections contain procedures to set some of the parameters that are
commonly changed to meet the requirements of a specific site. Procedures are listed in
alphabetical order by parameter.
Appended Tag Data
Use this procedure to set appended tag data parameters using the terminal emulation
application. Refer to “31N Append Auxiliary Information Selection” on page 7-10 for more
information.
To set appended tag data parameters
1. Ensure that the host device is in command mode.
2. Enter command #311 to append auxiliary information or command #310 to have no
auxiliary information appended (factory default). Press ENTER.
ID Separation
The host can select a unique ID separation of one ID or two IDs. The reader default
operation is for a unique ID separation of one ID and a uniqueness timeout of
two minutes. You can disable the uniqueness check using command #40 Transmit All ID
Codes. In this case, every tag ID received is transmitted without regard to uniqueness. You
can reinstate uniqueness checking with commands #4100 or #4101 Select ID Separation.
Note: The MPRX internal timing varies depending on the operative tag read mode and
the type of tag in the read field.
Refer to section “40 Transmit All ID Codes” on page 7–10 “and section “410N Select
Unique ID Code Criteria (Anti-passback Feature)” on page 7–11 .
To set ID separation parameters
1. Ensure that the host device is in command mode.
2. Enter command #4100 to select a separation of one ID; enter command #4101 to select
a separation of two IDs. Press ENTER.
