If the Reader you are configuring is used for applications such as a “sign of life” where a Tag
can come into and out of range of a Reader frequently without adversely affecting your use
of it, then set this to its minimum value. If you are using the Reader for applications such as
lighting or music, and you do not want to change the music or lighting frequently or in
error, then set this to a higher value.
Likewise, as with the Reader timeout, the additional timeout associated with the individual
Tags can help customize the system. If the Tag is one that does not move very often or
moves slowly, you can set the additional timeout to a value perhaps 3 to 5 seconds. If, on
the other hand, the Tag is on something expected to move in and out of range of many
Readers very often, you can leave the additional timeout at its default value of zero.
4.3.7 Adding Tags
The plug-in will only acknowledge signals from Tags that you have configured in the system.
The Tag’s address number can be found on the Tag itself. The portion of the configuration
screen that you add Tags to the system with is shown in
Figure 16
4.3.8 Tag ID
The Tag’s ID Number is unique to each tag and is found on a sticker on the Tag. There
should only be one of any given address in your R500HA RFID system. The Tag’s address
can be anywhere from 1 to 10 digits.
4.3.9 Tag Model
The tag model must be set to the model number of the tag being used. The model number is usually on
stamped on the back of the tag. Selecting the proper model of tag enables tag specific triggers (such as
Keyfob button pressed) to be utilized in various events.
4.3.10 Name
The name assigned to the Tag is for your identification only. When setting up triggers and
conditions, the Tag name prevents you from having to remember the Tag’s address.
