Antenna/read point configurations

You can connect up to four external antennas to the RF680R reader. The standard setting is
that four antennas are connected when the reader is started. When connecting multiple
antennas, note the information in the section "Specified minimum and maximum spacing of
antennas (Page 49)".
With the graphical user interface of the integrated Web server, you can set up various
different configurations of antennas and/or reading points as required. It is possible to find
solutions to many different tasks through the number of data sources and subsequent
assignment of the antennas.
Examples of possible antenna reading point configurations
● Four data sources each with one antenna for four different reading points.
● Two data sources each with two antennas for small portals.
● One data source with 4 antennas for large portals.
