Configuring antenna sequence, RF output power and region of operation
In “Antennas and Power” section:
• Select the RF output power. The output power can be lowered to avoid disturbing nearby
RFID systems (in such a case, check system performance). The output power can be
increased, but only to carry on tests.
• Select antenna sequence used when scanning the pedestal. Select “Top>Center>Bottom”
for standard operation or specifically an antenna for diagnosis operations (Top, Center or
Bottom).
In “Region” section, select the EMC regulations applicable to your region (FCC or ETSI).
Configuring & Enabling Asynchronous Event Notification Mode
In this section, one can activate the useful Event Notification, a stand alone feature which
duplicates the database entry by sending to any PC on the network a data frame. This allows
sending alarm data whenever an event occurs in any pedestal without having to regularly pool the
pedestal database over the network. It limits the traffic over the network.
To activate the Event Notification, just tick at least one Event out of the 3 available. All Events can
be selected if needed.
If IP address is left to the default “FF.FF.FF.FF.” data is broadcasted to all equipments on the
network. Possible Events are:
• People Counter Change: Whenever one walks through the gate passageway, data is sent
over the network once. The Data field includes the new In Out and In+ Out value.
• Alarms: Upon Tag(s) detection their UID & Memory Contents is sent over the network
according to the settings defined.
• GPIO State Changes: Whenever an Input or Output level changes it is notified over the
network. The data field reports the GPIO new status.

In any case, for operational configuration output power should not
exceed 4W to remain compliant with Radio Regulations.
