Troubleshooting the IF61
This section includes lists of problems and possible solutions.
Problems While Working With RFID
Many problems you may encounter when working with your
RFID system can be solved by carefully checking the RFID
settings and changing them accordingly. For help, see “About
RFID Services” on page 63.
RFID Problems and Solutions
Problem Solution
The IF61 is unable to read RFID tags,
or seems to read tags slowly or
inconsistently.
Check these conditions:
• Your RFID antennas must be connected correctly
to the IF61 and mounted in optimum locations.
Make sure all antenna connections are tight and
that the cables are in good condition. For help,
contact your Intermec RFID system consultant.
• For best performance, terminators should be
installed on all unused RFID antenna ports. If you
have operated the IF61 without terminators on all
unused antenna ports, the RFID module may be
damaged. For help, contact Intermec Product
Support.
• To maximize IF61 performance, make sure you
have chosen the correct tag types for your
application. For help, see “Configuring BRI
Settings” on page 63.
The IF61 does not respond to your
RFID application.
Your application may not be communicating with the
IF61 BRI server.
You may need to change BRI server settings to
communicate with your application. For example, if
your application is running on a desktop PC, you need
to enable external BRI connections to the IF61. For
help, see “Configuring the BRI Server” on page 69.
