6.1.2 Tag LR RF Survey
To verify tag communication:
1. Change the Reader’s transmission interval to 5 minutes, see 4.3.3 (the Reader
will automatically change the Tags transmission interval to correspond to the
Reader, so ther5e is no need to update test tags via the RPU).
2. Change the Reader’s transmission interval via the RT System configurator to 5
minutes (before going out), see 4.3.3.
3. Locate tags statically at the required coverage area borderline.
4. Turn on the Reader. Make sure the PC Comm LED is on, see 1.3.1
5. Wait 15 minutes, check the Activity Log Report, and verify that all of the tags
are identified in the report, with a message every 5 minutes.
6. When the location is approved, mount the Reader and set the steady state
interval back to the default (15 minutes) in the configurator only.
6.1.3 If Wi-Fi is used: Coverage Verification
To test the mounting point for proper Wi-Fi coverage
Verify that at least two stable Wi-Fi Signal Strength LEDs (i.e. Low and Medium) are
ON, indicating strong signal, see 1.3.1
Note: If the 2
nd
(Medium-strength) LED is not
lit steadily (i.e. blinking) it is not good enough!
6.1.4 If Wired Communication is used: Setup
To connect the Reader to the network cable
1. Open the Reader box and REMOVE the RED grommet: Unscrew the grommet
nut and remove the grommet.
CAUTION
Remove a plug only where a cable will replace it. If grommet holes are
left open, the box will not be waterproof, and components may be
damaged.
NOTE
For troubleshooting the connection, use back-to-back connection to your
