classes that can be used by customers to quickly configure a read point. Each read point Class has a Type
attribute whose values can be AREA, COMBINED1,COMBINED2,COMBINED3 and COMBINED4. These
options can be used to combine access/inventory operations on antennas. Using AREA implies do not
combine antennas. Other COMBINE options can be used to combine set of antennas. If an operation is
performed on an antenna, which is part of a combined antenna group, then the same operation will be
performed on other antennas in this group.
For example: To combine antennas 1 and 2 in one group and antennas 3 and 4 into different group.
Define two read point classes such as Zone1 and Zone2 with a Type such as COMBINED1 and COMBINED2.
Assign Zone1 to read points 1 and 2 and Zone2 to read points 3 and 4.
Perform a read/write operation on antenna 1, the same operation is performed on antenna 2 as well. The same
is true for antennas 3 and 4.
Options are:
• AREA: Long range antenna.
• PORTAL: Select for portal situations such as dock doors.
NOTE The default value for 4 port units is COMBINED1, 2 and the default for the 8 port units is COMBINED 1, 2,
3, 4).
In the Scan Period: drop-down list select how often to scan a read point for tags. Options are:
4.
• On Demand: Only scan read points when the user initiates a scan request.
• Polled: Scan read points continuously.
• Periodic: Select the time interval (time span between starts) to scan the read points.
