Description: The reader can support the use of multiple antennae. This
command allows the user to select which antenna port(s) to use. If the
antenna is fixed, set this list to just one antenna number. Setting this list to
more than one antenna number will cause the reader to cycle through the list
on each successive tag read. Multiple antennae are specified by passing in a
comma separated list as the argument. An asterisk (*) by a number indicates
the current antenna in a list. The default value is 0. Currently antenna ports 0
and 1 are supported by this reader.

//Always use antenna 1
>Set AntennaList =1
