4. Cycle the power on the MPRX and ensure that the sign-on message displays.
5. To test the antenna connected to RF PORT-0, input the commands listed in
Table 4-3 .
Note: For testing purposes, the MPRX should not be in MPRX mode and should not
be multiplexing between multiple antennas.MPRX mode is used for rail track smart
multiplexing.
Note: Settings for RF, ATA range, SeGo range, and output power are the same for all
antennas.

You can now connect the outer marks to draw the outer boundary of the read zone.
Figure 4 – 8 is a view of a sample read zone. The outer X marks show the outside edges
of the read zone.
