SmartScan Model 2400 Portable AEI Reader
To start taking inventory use the portable AEI reader to read one of these tags before
reading the tags on the rail vehicles. When a Track AEI tag is read the display in
Figure 4 will be shown.
Figure 4 - Active Track Display
Two tracks can be active at any given time. This allows rail vehicles on two adjacent
tracks to be scanned in the same session.
When two tracks are active, rail vehicles can be moved back and forth between the
two tracks by depressing the Switch Track button shown in Figure 2 or by reading the
same vehicle's AEI tag a second time. Each time the same vehicle's AEI tag is read,
the portable reader will switch the vehicle to the other track.
The portable reader will assign all of the rail vehicles to one of up to two active tracks
until a second Track tag on one of the active tracks is read or until the user issues a
command to the portable reader to stop taking inventory on that track (see Paragraph
2.4).
The second method is to manually enter the track information into the portable reader.
To manually enter a track name, tap the Menu button on the screen. This will cause a
pop-up menu to appear (see Figure 5).
