⑨
Antenna type
selects the antenna type between pre-defined and custom antennas
If the pre-defined antenna is selected, the programme sets the antenna gain to the maximum
value permitted for this antenna. If
Custom antenna
is selected, it is possible to freely set the gain
and power.
⑩
Gain
selects the antenna gain between –32.00 dBiC and 31.75 dBiC
⑪
ERP/EIRP
switches between
ERP
and
EIRP
⑫
Port
selects the antenna port or deactivates it
If the antenna is not activated, the system proceeds to the next antenna in the
Port Multiplex
Configuration
.
► For more details, refer to the Chapter MultiplexingAntennaport1...8 in the
Reader Configuration Manual
.
⑬
Exposure time
specifies the exposure time on the antenna; only used for asynchronous operation
► For more details, refer to the Chapter MultiplexingExposureTime1...8 in the
Reader Configuration Manual
.
⑭
Communication
Standard
selects a country-specific communication standard; the device version determines which commu-
nication standard is permitted
⑮
Communication
Profile
selects the profile for the data rate and read reliability
This option allows the technician to directly influence the performance of the reader and the spec-
trum of the signal. The profile names contain basic orientation on the transmission and reception
data rates.
⑯
Available
channels
(only avail-
able for
ETSI-readers)
selects the channel for the reader to use
Depending on the region, the reader transmits in the frequency range 865–868 MHz for Europe or
902–928 MHz for USA/Canada.
In Europe, the number of channels to be used can be limited. For this reason, it is necessary to
check the related check box for each channel the reader is to use. This way, it is possible to avoid
using specific channels on which there is interference.
⑰
Initial Q
reflects the number of tags expected in the field; see also Chapter
InitialQ in
Reader Configuration Manual
⑱
Sel
specifies whether other parameters are of interest for an inventory of the tag population or not;
see also Chapter QuerySel in
Configuration Manual for Kathrein RFID UHF Readers
⑲
Session
sets which session the reader is to work with; see also Chapter Sessions in
Reader Configuration
Manual
⑳
Target
specifies which tags in the population should take part in the inventory; see also Chapter Que-
ryTarget in
Configuration Manual for Kathrein RFID UHF Readers
To operate the reader in accordance with the related national standards, it is necessary to take into account
the antenna gain and the cable attenuation in the transmission power setting.
► Do not exceed the permitted transmission power. Failure to observe this instruction can result in
non-compliant operation of the reader leading the termination of the type approval.
To operate the reader in accordance with the related national standards, it is necessary to set the correct
communication profile to use the correct frequency range.
► Make sure to operate the reader in the correct country-specific frequency range. Failure to observe
this instruction can result in non-compliant operation of the reader leading the termination of the type
approval.
