⑨
Antenna type
selects the antenna type between pre-dened and custom antennas
If the pre-dened 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
Port power shows the selected power on the port
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
Conguration .
► For more details, refer to the Chapter MultiplexingAntennaport1...8 in the
Reader Congura-
tion Manual .
⑬
Exposure time
species the exposure time on the antenna; only used for asynchronous operation
► For more details, refer to the Chapter MultiplexingExposureTime1...8 in the
Reader Congu-
ration Manual .
⑭
Communica-
tion standard
selects a country-specic communication standard; the device version determines which com-
munication standard is permitted
⑮
Communica-
tion prole
selects the prole for the data rate and read reliability
This option allows the technician to directly inuence the performance of the reader and the
spectrum of the signal. The prole 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 specic channels on which there is interference.
⑰
Initial Q
reects the number of tags expected in the eld; see also Chapter InitialQ in Reader Conguration
Manual
⑱
Sel
species whether other parameters are of interest for an inventory of the tag population or not;
see also Chapter QuerySel in Conguration Manual for Kathrein RFID UHF Readers
⑲
Session
sets which session the reader is to work with; see also Chapter Sessions in Reader Conguration
Manual
⑳
Target
species which tags in the population should take part in the inventory; see also Chapter Que-
ryTarget in Conguration 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 prole to use the correct frequency range.
► Make sure to operate the reader in the correct country-specic frequency range. Failure to observe
this instruction can result in non-compliant operation of the reader leading the termination of the type
approval.
