The maximum transmit power is restricted depending on the country of use.
Note that the RF615R/RF680R/RF685R readers do not support IRT (Isochronous Real
Time). The readers can also not function as IRT conductors (e.g. in a bus structure).
The readers can be configured as clients in MRP rings. Network diagnostics via SNMP is
supported by the readers.
