Configuration and Operation
This chapter explains how to set-up and configure a RFID System S21. The IPC implementation is
a practical example of the RFID System S21 configuration. For more information about the RFID
System S21 configuration, refer to the RFID System S21 Technical Guide.
Before You Begin
Before starting the RFID System S21 configuration, do the following:
1. Check whether all equipment is correctly installed and interconnected according to the
requirements stated in
Chapter 2, Reader RD21 Installation and Connections and Chapter 3,
Exciter EX21 Installation and Connections in this guide.
2. Check if each Reader and Exciter has a unique address according the approved documentation
describing the RFID System configuration (see the specific Site Survey documentation).
3. Familiarize yourself with the instructions format described in the RFID System S21 Reference
Guide, and the system’s functionality described in the RFID System S21 Technical Guide.
4. Refer to the section, RFID System S21 Configuration Principles on page 1-3, for some general
explanations on configuring the RFID System S21. Pay special attention that the jumpers on
the CTL21 and LFA21 are set for S21 operation.
General Procedure Rules
Each Reader and Exciter in the RFID System must be configured individually.
Lyngsoe recommends that you follow the general rules listed below:
1. Configure each Reading Point, one by one. Each Reading Point is defined and controlled by a
reader. Configuration of the Reader and interconnected Exciters is accomplished by
connecting a PC to the serial communication link.
2. Follow the step-by-step instructions described in this chapter.
3. If you do not obtain the expected results, refer to Chapter 7, Troubleshooting.
