INSTALLING MULTIPLE
SMARTREADERS
When multiple SmartReaders are installed in close proximity, additional set up
is required to ensure all Electronic ID tags are read correctly.
Each SmartReader must be able to communicate with all other SmartReaders
to enable the antenna panel to be switched on and off at the appropriate
times to ensure both Electronic ID tags can be read. For additional
information about tags, see Electronic ID tags (p 2).
• If you have two SmartReaders to install you may use either wired or
wireless installation. The wired option is the preferred option for the
greatest reliability.
• If you have more than two SmartReaders you must use wired installation.
