The maximum transmit power is restricted depending on the country of use.
Note that the 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.
Note that the readers cannot be operated in VLANs whose ID is ≠ 0.
