attribute.
Enable Antenna Port
Enables or disables the antenna connected to antenna port n.
Check the check box to enable that antenna. Antenna Port 1 is
enabled by default.
If more than one antenna is enabled, the antennas always fire in
sequence numerically (1, 2, 3, 4). To change this sequence, you
need to set the ANTS BRI attribute. For more information, see
the BRI programmer's reference manual.
The IF30 data collection engine (DCE) handles communication
between your application and the RFID module. It allows up to
10 applications to use the same reader simultaneously.
When your application is communicating with the DCE, the
blue Intermec Ready-to-Work Indicator on the IF30 front panel
turns on and stays on. For help, see "Learning About the
Intermec Ready-To-Work Indicator" on page 7.
You can configure many settings for the DCE. For help, see the
next procedure.
To configure DCE settings
1 From the menu, click RFID Module > DCE Configuration.
The DCE Configuration screen appears.
2 Change DCE settings as needed. For help, see the next table.
