made in the following order:
•
Connect at least one antenna to the RF SMA port
on the SPSDEVR1-8 reader
•
Connect an Ethernet cable from the SPSDEVR1-8
to the host computer that will be running the
application software
•
Plug in a power supply suitable for the
SPSDEVR1-8
Note: please refer to SPS tag datasheets to verify optimal

TagReader Software Setup
After the reader is powered on, open a web browser and
type in the IP address of the reader into the search bar. The
SPS Reader App startup page will then be shown as seen on
left in Figure 2. Toggling the “Connect to Reader” slider
button will allow the rest of the parameters on the page to
be set, such as frequency region, individual antenna
activation, and individual antenna power as shown on the
right side of Figure 2. The “Advanced Configuration” tab
allows precise tuning of various parameters related to the
UHF protocol and is pictured in Figure 3.
