About This Guide
This guide explains how to set up the Mercury4 or Mercury5 Reader, how to configure it for
network operation, and how to use the browser-based interface. Separate appendices contain
specifications and antenna information specific to each reader.
To learn more about the software operation of the Mercury 4 and Mercury5 readers, a Reader
Query Language (RQL) Reference Guide is available at http://www.thingmagic.com/html/
support/manuals.htm. RQL queries for accessing tags are built into the reader’s web interface
but you can get more out of your reader by modifying them.
ThingMagic’s low-level application programming interfaces (APIs) provide fine control over all
aspects of the reader. A separate API Programming Guide and software developer kit (SDK) is
available upon request from [e-mail].
