<strong>Protocol</strong>s<br />

Install Type<br />

The setup.protocols variable is used to configure which protocol(s) to<br />

utilize on the air interface. Currently, the reader can operate with either<br />

ISO18000-6B, ISO18000-6C, Supertag (iPX), EASALARM, or any<br />

combination of these. The EASALARM protocol is only applicable to specific<br />

tags developed by NXP.<br />

The setup.install_type variable indicates what type of application<br />

the reader is. This variable, along with the information in the region,<br />

sub_region, and tag_volume variables, provides a context for the reader to<br />

customize its detailed configuration settings to optimize performance.<br />

A user is expected to configure all of the setup variables during the initial<br />

turn-up of the reader which will result in the reader applying specific values<br />

to other variables. In many cases this will be all of the configuration<br />

needed. The user can always customize settings at any time.<br />

Tag Volume<br />

The setup.tag_volume variable indicates the number of tags being<br />

presented to the reader at any one point in time. This variable, along with<br />

the information in the region, sub_region, and install_type variables,<br />

provides a context for the reader to customize its detailed configuration<br />

settings to optimize performance.<br />

ANTENNA CONFIGURATION<br />

Setting the Antenna Power<br />

The <strong>INfinity</strong> <strong>510</strong> allows full antenna configuration. As a result, you can<br />

configure the following:<br />

Antenna Power<br />

Antenna Gain<br />

Cable Loss<br />

Attenuation<br />

The reader supports the ability to independently set the conducted power<br />

level for each antenna. It provides two methods for setting the conducted<br />

power for an antenna:<br />

User Set<br />

Reader Calculated<br />

All antenna power settings are specified in ddBm (deci dBm or tenths of<br />

dBm). To convert from dBm to ddBm, multiply the dBm by 10. To convert<br />

from ddBm to dBm divide the ddBm by 10.<br />
