6.  Verify the host receives the tag data. 

„

 

Refer to indications specified in applicable user guide to verify the tag 
was read successfully. 

 

7.  If bench test conditions are verified, proceed to installation.  

 

 

NOTE: To perform a hard reboot of the system, simply cycle power on the reader.

 

Installation 

This section provides guidance for configuring components in your RFID system. 
You should consider the overall design of your specific system before 
permanently mounting the equipment.  
 
Installation involves all the same connection steps required for bench test. 
However, instead of placing equipment on a tabletop, the reader, antenna, and 
their accessories are mounted in your application environment.  

Requirements 

Before installing your RFID Reader system, you will need the following: 

„

 

A PC running Windows 98 or higher, with Ethernet connectivity and, 
optionally, one available RS-232 serial port. 

„

 

Standard 120 or 220 VAC power for the reader  

„

 

Host software (Gateway, for example)  

„

 

(Optional) extra antennas (if desired for additional coverage or 
configurations) 

„

 

Additional RS-232 cables or antenna coax cables needed to 
accommodate routing requirements  

„

 

Standard grounded, three-pronged power cord of desired length 

„

 

Mounting hardware suitable for the surface to which equipment is to be 
attached (e.g., wood screws, moly-bolts, brackets, etc.)
