This will allow you to see specific information about the device, including recommended settings as shown in Figure 9 and Figure 10.
RFID HW GUI User Manual 3.2. Advanced Reader Settings 3.2.1. Tag Mode: Gen2, Gen2+ RSSI, ISO6 Gen2： ISO 18000-6C Tag Gen2 + RSSI：ISO 18000-6C Tag, but with a more thorough evaluation, provides the Received Signal Strength Indication (RSSI), channel Q, and channel I- path readings ISO6B：ISO 18000-6B Tag 3.2.2. Region MTI RFID ME TM HW GUI program will detect the region you are using automatically.
RFID HW GUI User Manual 3.2.3. Power Level To achieve the longest reading or writing range, please set the power to the highest level (18dBm) as shown in Figure 12. Lower power levels decrease reading or writing range, but conserve energy consumption. It is possible to set the minimum power level to as low as 5 dBm. Figure 12 3.2.4. Frequency Setting (Fixed vs. Hopping) Hopping：Offered for the majority of customers as shown in Figure 13.
RFID HW GUI User Manual Fixed ： Offered for engineers and larger companies interested in more comprehensive testing. CW/Modulation/Pluse as shown in Figure 14. CW：To test Output Power Linearity for the desired frequency. Modulation：To test the Mask for the desired frequency. Pluse：To test ETSI 302 208 v1.3.1 Time- only used for modulation setting. Figure 14 3.2.5. Gen2 Setting This could let you modify the Gen2 profile between the RFID METM HW and the EPC tag as shown in Figure 15.

RFID HW GUI User Manual 4. Inventory Run To begin the inventory run, press the “Start Scan” button located in the lower left corner of the window as shown in Figure 16 . Figure 16 Figure 17 shows the results of a “Start Scan” operation and where the RFID ME TM HW is reading one tag. The EPC for each of the tags is provided and a Relative Signal Strength Indicator (RSSI) of the individual tags is presented.
RFID HW GUI User Manual 5. Tag Setting To configure the tag (write to the tag), first stop the scan (Stop Scan), then Right Click on the EPC of the tag you want to modify, to access the “Advanced Tag Settings”. This will allow you set the parameters of the tag as shown in Figure 18. Figure 18 Next, move into the functions section, where you will be able to set tasks for your tags as described in the following points as shown in Figure 19.
RFID HW GUI User Manual 5.1. Tag Setting Function 5.1.1. Set EPC： It will allow you to modify a tag’s EPC, select and alter the “New EPC” section to the new EPC you desire, then press “OK” to rewrite as shown in Figure 20. Note: The default setting for the “Current Access Password” is 00-00-00-00. For any other settings, please reference the Class 1 Generation 2 UHF Air Interface Potocol Standard “Gen 2” at http://www.epcglobalinc.org/standards/uhfc1g2.
RFID HW GUI User Manual Failed Message： If the Set EPC fails, a message box like the one shown below in Figure 22 will be displayed. You can repeat the Set EPC process until you successfully write the new EPC. Note: One remedy that can increase your Set EPC success, is to move the tag closer to the RFID METM HW, or increase the Transmit Output Power to a higher setting.
RFID HW GUI User Manual 5.1.2. Set Password： Set Kill or Access password as shown in Figure 23. The default Current Access Password is 00-00-00-00.
