Smart Antenna Reader Addressing
Description
Smart Antenna Readers retain their address in onboard EEPROM. To change the address, use the RS232
connection to issue the [2XXXX] command. If two or more Smart Antenna Readers have the same
address on the bus, the system will not know due to the anti-collision hardware. It is the responsibility
of the user to manage Smart Antenna Reader addresses. Always use permanent labels to mark your
addresses.
New Smart Antenna Reader installation
New Smart Antennas come with the address 01; before they can be used, you need to assign them an
operational address.
1.
Use the command [2xx01] to assign the new address where xx = new address.
2.
You should receive the response of OK. If so, skip the rest you are done.
3.
If you receive a FAILED_X response, refer to Serial Port Commands to the Smart Antenna
RFID Readers on page 12 for details.
Reassign Smart Antenna Reader Address
1.
If you don’t know a Smart Antenna Reader’s address disconnect all other Readers from the
network.
2.
Run a [3] scan command to learn the Reader address.
3.
Use [2XXXX] to assign a new address.
4.
Reconnect the rest of your Readers and run [3] scan command again.
5.
If the number of addresses on the scan matches the number installed you are done.
6.
If you have duplicate addresses in the network, remove one Reader at a time while running [3]
scan each time.
7.
After removing a Reader check that the [3] command returns one less Reader address than
before.
8.
If you remove an Reader and the [3] command returns the same number of addresses it did
before you removed it, you have found the duplicate. Follow steps 1 to 4 to assign it a new
address.
