FIG. 26 Reader Configuration Options
Reader Configuration Page
• Reader ID: Indicates the Device ID for the selected ANT-RDR, as specified via the
• Reader Address: Indicates the AxLink Device Address for the selected ANT-RDR. In the
Global Registery page, the Reader ID is always "Global", and cannot be
changed.
• Acquired Threshold (1...255): The ANT-RDR will notify the Master that a Tag's signal has been acquired
when its RSSI signal is above the Acquired Threshold value.
• The allowed range is 1 (min.) to 255 (max)
• Default = 200
• Lost Threshold (0...254): The ANT-RDR will notify the Master that a Tag's signal has been lost when
its RSSI signal is below the Lost Threshold value.
• The allowed range is 0 (min.) to 254 (max)
• Default = 50
• Sensitivity (1...255) The Sensitivity setting is used to reduce the message traffic between the
ANT-RDR and the Master:
The ANT-RDR remembers the last RSSI value sent to the Master for each
Tag it has acquired. On the next poll, only Tags whose current RSSI value is
outside the range of the last sent RSSI value +/- the Sensitivity value
entered here will be sent to the Master.
• The allowed range is 1 (min.) to 255 (max)
• Default = 30
• Tag-Lost Timeout (30...255
seconds)
Use this option to specify the period time allowed to continue monitoring
Tags whose RFID signal has dropped below the level specified in the Lost
Threshold.
• If a Tag’s RSSI signal has dropped below the Lost Threshold level, and is
re-acquired by the Reader within the time period specified here, it will
automatically resume normal functionality.
• Conversely, if a Tag’s RSSI signal drops below the Lost Threshold level,
and is not re-acquired within the specified time period, the Reader will no
longer monitor for that Tag. Therefore, once the timeout period has
elapsed, the Tag will not be automatically re-acquired, and must be
manually re-entered into the system.
• Default = 30 seconds.
• Status (Online/Offline) Indicates the current status of the selected ANT-RDR (display-only).
