Verifying Tag Read Capability
After verifying communications between the MPRX and the PC, verify the capability to read tags. The test
tag should match the tag type and protocol of the tags that your system will be reading.
The polarization of the test tag must be aligned in the same direction as the antenna.

horizontally polarized antenna and tag. The test tag must be mounted flush against a metal backplane.
Note:
Matching the tag and antenna polarization is critical to obtaining optimal system
performance.
Note:
The default tag read mode of the reader is the protocol(s) programmed into the reader. Use
only those test tags programmed with the correct protocol(s) for the reader.
Caution
To avoid damage to the MPRX, you must connect the antenna before applying power to the
reader.
To verify tag read capability
1. Once communications are verified, enter the following sequence of commands to turn on
continuous RF:
•
#01
•
#6401
•
#40
•
#00
2. Pass one test tag in front of the active MPRX antenna. If the MPRX reads the tag, the terminal
emulation application displays the tag information on the screen
.
