Chapter 3 Optional Features and Accessories 35
Options
Scan Time: determines the maximum time to attempt
to scan for before giving up. When the scan button is
pushed, the RFID scans until it nds a tag or until this
amount of time has elapsed.
Power Level: Sets the power level of the module.
Worst Case Off Time: If the power is set higher than the
regulatory threshold, this shows the maximum amount
of time that the radio will remain off before it will allow
another scan. The Mesa 3 regulatory threshold is the
same as the maximum power of the RFID module so this
number will always be zero.
Select Scan Button: Allows you to select from P1, P2, or
P3 as the RFID scan button. While the RFID application is
running, these override what is specied in the Keypad
Control Panel. If the RFID Connector has P1 set as the
scan button, the Keypad Control Panel will show P1
as blank. This should not be changed from within the
Keypad Control Panel while the RFID Connector is
running. Once the RFID Connector closes, the scan
button reverts back to what it was just before the RFID
Connector launched.
Beep on good/bad read: A sound plays when a tag is
read. A different sound plays when the time has elapsed
and no tag was read.
Startup RFID Connector on bootup: The RFID Connector
software will automatically start when the device boots.
Startup RFID Connector Minimized: The RFID Connector
software will automatically be minimized when it is
started.
Use copy/paste buffer: When this is set, the RFID data
(sometimes including prex/sufx data) is placed in the
copy buffer, and then a “Ctrl-V” is simulated to paste the
data wherever the user has focus.
Caution: The data is left in the copy buffer, so if sensitive
data is being scanned, use “individual keystrokes”. This
method is much more snappy.
Use individual keystrokes: When this is set, every character
(including prex/sufx data) is sent as individual
keystrokes.
