Configuring the Reader with RF Command Suite
RF Command Suite can be used to easily configure your reader. The Reader
Config
interface provides control over the reader configuration registers that set
communication parameters, change operating modes, and control the transmitter
and receiver. These configuration registers are located under General
Configuration
.
In addition, individual protocol configurations can be modified. The protocol
configuration registers are located under Protocol Configuration.
NOTE: If reader configuration commands have been recently sent from the command line
or by pressing the function keys, the Reader Configuration window may not reflect
the updated settings. Refresh the Reader Configuration window by collapsing and
re-expanding the directories (see Figure 26). The updated settings should be
displayed.
1. To configure the reader, select the Reader Config tab.
Figure 26 – Reader Configuration
2. To modify the general configuration registers expand the directory under
General Configuration.
3. To modify the protocol configuration registers expand the directory under
Protocol Configuration.
Caution
SAMSys readers use internal registers to provide a high degree of flexibility in
setting operational parameters. However, improper setting of these registers can
result in reader inoperability or permanent damage. For detailed information on
reader and protocol configuration registers, refer to the Comprehensive Heuristic
Uniform Messaging Protocol (CHUMP) Reference Guide and the Field Installation
Guide.
NOTE: To make any reader changes permanent, the changes must be written to non-
volatile memory (NVM). To make changes permanent, select the Persistence Flag
option before sending the change to the reader.
