3.2. PREPARATION FOR INSTALLATION
3.2.1. Bench Top Verification
It is always a good idea to verify system operation before committing to a full-scale
installation. The following are the necessary steps to test reader s operation in a static
environment.
·
Connect reader to Network with a network cable at the TCP/IP port
·
Connect the power jack from the wall plug power supply to reader
·
Load the demo program CD onto (installation) PC and launch the demo program.
Try Connect after filling in the IP address of reader and then some commands.
3.2.2. Aiming of Antenna
Antenna Pattern for MPR-3014WF-xM
MPR-3014WF-xM comes with a set of (up to 4 or 8) antennas each circular polarized to
ensure reading tag with random orientation. Most circular polarized antenna has a
horizontal to vertical differential of up to 3 dB, this will cause the antenna pattern to
deviate from a true circle. AWID s antenna has a horizontal to vertical differential of
typically less than 0.5 dB, making the antenna pattern as near to a circle as possible.
