Dense Reader Mode

The Gen 2 (or Class 1 G2) Dense Reader Mode, allows the reader operate in an environments where multiple
readers are simultaneously operating, where few readers are operating or just the one reader is operating.

Connection Options

The reader provides flexibility for connecting to networks with an Ethernet connection. Access each reader from
anywhere on the network with the unique IP address. The reader may be configured to obtain its IP address from a
DHCP server, automating the IP address and default Gateway configurations.

Flexible Read Point Configurations

Connect up to eight antennas (four transmit and four receive) to a single reader. This decreases the per-read-point
cost. Logically combine antennas to create a single, wide read point with a much greater range than that of a single
antenna.

Physical Interfaces

At the physical layer, the XR reader can support an ethernet interface for command and data communication with
the reader. The RS232 serial interface can be used to configure basic communication parameters such as TCP/IP
address and viewing system logs etc. The RS232 port cannot be used to send tag information out on reader COM
ports.
