IF2 Network Reader User’s Manual 41
Report Timeout
Sets the timeout (in ms) for delays in tag reporting when the IF2 is in 
continuous read mode. Range is 0 (default) to 65534.
Timeout Configuration Mode
Enables a timeout mode. Instead of specifying the number of antenna 
or ID tries, you specify an antenna or ID timeout value. If the IF2 does 
not find any tags after an antenna or ID try, the reader waits this long 
before starting the next antenna or ID try. If you enable timeout 
mode, you need to set the ID Timeout and Antenna Timeout values.
This setting is equivalent to the TIMEOUTMODE BRI attribute, and 
is disabled by default.
To enable Timeout Configuration mode
1 Check the check box. The screen refreshes. The Antenna Tries 
setting is replaced by Antenna Timeout, and the ID Tries setting is 
replaced by ID Timeout.
2 Specify the value (in ms) for the antenna or ID timeout in the 
entry fields and then click Activate Changes.
For more information on ID Timeout and Antenna Timeout, see 
those topics later in this section.
Select Tries
(Not supported by EPCglobal Class 1 Gen 2 tags) Sets the number of 
times a group select is attempted. A group select is the command that 
starts the identity process. Valid range is 1 (default) to 254.
This setting is equivalent to the SELTRIES BRI attribute.
Unselect Tries
(Not supported by EPCglobal Class 1 Gen 2 tags) Sets the number of 
times a group unselect is attempted. Valid range is 1 (default) to 254.
Session
(EPCglobal Class 1 Gen 2 tags only) Sets the command session 
parameter to the corresponding EPCglobal Class 1 Gen 2 air protocol 
command (default is QueryAdjust).
