IDentity Flex Hardware Manual – Site Planning sirit
Version 2.3 Page 15
makes available an optional desktop reader which allows each tag to be scanned
into the database. Users can scan in the source tag Identification number and
then assign a destination or output identification number containing a facility code
and ID. Each IDentity Flex reader is capable of storing up to 10,000 translated
T21 transponders in its database.
Antenna Mounting
Gated Access systems may require that the SIRIT antenna be mounted lower in
height compared to Parking Access systems. In order to ensure consistent reads
SIRIT recommends that the antenna be mounted at 10-15 feet above the island.
Please consult with SIRIT if lower antenna heights are desirable.
Installers of Gated Access systems should also review lane logic considerations
for Parking Access systems as some of the sections (e.g. Antenna LED’s – Tag
read indicator and SIRIT Pre-site assistance) will also apply.
MULTIPLE READER INSTALLATIONS
Multiple Local or Remote Readers
Gated Access systems may have multiple local or multiple remote readers. If
configurations or tag databases need to be updated SIRIT has a number of
options available. SIRIT can support up to 60 local readers through optional
smart switches. Local readers can be connected up to 4 miles away with the use
of optional short haul modems. If access is required to readers that are located
beyond the 4-mile limit SIRIT makes available dial-up capabilities using optional
US Robotics® 56K external modems. Multiple local or remote reader access
requires the use of SIRIT’s Windows®-based IDentity Flex software.
Instructions for configuring the IDentity Flex system for multiple readers can be
found on page 41. Additional information can be found in the Windows®-based
IDentity Flex software manual.
