Configuring the Reader’s Application Parameters
5-16 Configuration and Operation
To remotely test the MS functionality do the following:
Send the :TEST:MS:EXCITER n command. Wait for a period of time. Send the
:TEST:MS:EXCITER n again. Check the value of the EMS parameter. This value indicates the
number of times the MS turned active since the last time the :TEST:MS:EXCITER n command was
sent. If you know that there was some activity around the gate but the EMS=0, this means that the
MS is defective.
Note Execution of the :TEST:EXCITER n command is not affected by the motion sensor status. If MS is
not active, the LF field is forced ON for a brief period of time enough to finish the self test
procedure.
Configuring the Reader’s Application Parameters
You can configure the Reader’s application parameters by setting the appropriate values for the
parameters in the following groups:
• Data buffering/reporting configuration (D)
• Hardware configuration (H)
• Instrument generic configuration (I)
• Tag data reading/excitation configuration (R)
• Serial communication configuration (S)
For detailed explanations refer to the RFID System S21 Reference Guide.
Example For example, for an IPC application, do the following:
1. Set the Flags reporting format to S95:
DFA=N <Enter>
2. Enable the Gate ID filtration on the Reader, by typing:
IFA=Y <Enter>
3. Set the data filtration on the Reader, by typing:
DCI=10 <Enter>
DRI=30 <Enter>
4. Set the reported data format as ANS.1 format, by typing:
DHX=Y <Enter>
5. Set the Tag data character count, by typing:
RCC=5 <Enter>
6. Use the default values for all the other parameters.
