ISO 18000-6C (Gen2)
The M6e supports multiple ISO-18000-6C profiles including the ability to specify the Link Frequency,
encoding schemes, Tari value and modulation scheme. The protocol options are set in the MercuryAPI
Reader Configuration Parameters (/reader/gen2/*). The following table shows the supported combinations:
NOTE: It is important that the /reader/baudRate is greater than /reader/ gen2/BLF, in equivalent
frequency units. If it is not, then the reader could be reading data faster than the transport can
handle and send, and the reader’s buffer might fill up.
Protocol-Specific Functionality
The host can “get” many settings when it first connects to a module to determine whether the settings are
as desired or need to be changed. Now, an additional “get” can determine if any optional Gen2 extensions
have been enabled for the module. (Only one custom extension is offered - IAV Denatran support.) The
parameter to get protocol extensions is /reader/Gen2/ProtocolExtension.
See the MercuryAPI Programmers Guide and language specific reference guides for details on supported
Gen2 command functionality.
