2.3.7. Wireless power saving
Activation levels:
In order to reduce the power consumption it is
possible to set the activity rate of the reader.
The default setting is ‘Active’, meaning that the
reader will continuously check for
communication. By setting the level to a certain
time the reader will reduce activity and check
for communication only at the set time.
Auto disconnect:
Power consumption can also be reduced by
auto disconnect settings as described in the
chapters: Auto disconnect options and Auto
reconnect options.
IEEE 802.15.4 power saving:
IEEE 802.15.4 based readers change the
antenna output power instead of changing the
activity rate. See figure 2.08.
