System Configuration
The AI1401 Reader is designed to interface with a range of user-supplied handheld
antennas and other equipment for portable applications. A typical portable reader sys-
tem consists of a tag that operates within the 915 MHz frequency band, an antenna/
actuator, a direct current (DC) power source, the AI1401 Reader, a host computer, and
communications hardware, for example, RF modems (Figure 2-2).
Figure 2-2 Example of AI1401 Reader System Configuration
The AI1401 Reader is designed to operate using a 13.2V rechargeable NiCad battery
or equivalent DC power source. The reader can store approximately 1,000 tag reads of
128 bits within its 32K buffer. This information may then be transferred to a host
computer. The system also supports real-time reader-to-host communication by
connecting an RF modem to the AI1401 Reader's ASCII RS

232C port (Figure 2-3)
or by connecting a PC, handheld, or other computer directly to the reader.
