2. Run setup.exe and follow the commands to install the Host. The setup procedure
installs an icon named MPI 6000 Host on your computer desktop.
The following sections tell you how to use the MPI 6000 Host software.
Connecting to the MPI 6000 Reader with the Host Software
1. Double-click on the MPI 6000 Host icon.
2. Select UDP on the main screen.
3. In the UDP Command Link Config field, enter the IP address of the reader.
Write the IP address near the Ethernet connector on the MPI 6000 enclosure for
future reference.

Configuring the MPI 6000 Reader Operating Frequency
1. Select the Configuration tab.
2. Select the Transceiver Configuration sub-tab.
3. Set the frequencies to desire values. Nominal values are 918.75 for downlink and
903 for uplink. Values must be between 902.25 and 903.75 or between 910 and
918.75 for the downlink. Values must be between 912.75 and 918.75 for the
uplink.
Operating the MPI 6000 Reader
1. Select Tags > FDOT.
2. Enter hex data into the IT2200 Write Data and SeGo Page Data fields. Use 32
hex characters for IT2200 (Allegro) and 16 hex characters for SeGo. This is the
data that is going to be written to the tag.
3. Select Read or Write in the SeGo Sequence Field. This sets the Read or Write
parameters for both IT2200 and SeGo tags.
4. Press Start to begin tag processing.
5. Tag responses should appear in the IT2200 and SeGo fields.
6. To stop the display or the response count, select the check boxes.
7. Press Stop to end tag processing.
8. Press Exit to close the FDOT page.
MPI 6000 Readers have been preconfigured for most needed operations. Parameters
such as attenuation, step-lock settings, and tag command sequences are set when the
reader powers up.
