P2P slave
Normal operation
Selection of the required reader mode. This
parameter is intended for trained users. As a
rule, the "Normal operation" operating mode of
the reader is used.
For P2P mode, one reader must be configured
as a "P2P slave" and one reader as a "P2P
master". If the P2P master also communicates
with ISO or RF300 transponders, you must
select the appropriate parameter value.
ECC mode
On
Off

Switching the ECC mode on/off
In ECC mode, the reader can detect bit errors
on the transponder with a high degree of prob-
ability and correct the sent data, if possible.
