Reader Settings
The Reader Settings screen allows you to see and change certain parameters of the RFID reader,
such as transmit power, and some Gen2-specific parameters on the RFID tab. There is a second
Network tab with some additional parameters related to the reader’s network interface and some
common Alien features, such as a Heartbeat and TagStream functionality.
To commit any changes made on the Reader Settings pages, you must click the OK button at the
lower-right corner. Clicking the Cancel button or the Close (X) button in the top-right corner returns
you to the main screen without applying any of the changes that you made.
The RFID tab has controls for RF Power
and some Gen2 parameters, such as
Session, Q, and Inventory Target.
The Network tab shows the reader’s
MAC and IP addresses, as well as fields
and checkbox controls for the Heartbeat
server (for UDP-based discovery), and a
TCP-based TagStream feature.
