Why is my TransCore Rfid Systems not communicating with the host device?
The MPRX might not be communicating with your host device. Check the power supply to your host device, and check the connections between the host device and the MPRX. Try reversing the receive and transmit connections. Also, check the position of the Interface Selection Switch.
How to fix TransCore Rfid Systems when it is not reading tags?
Make sure the MPRX is powered on. Verify that the reader is set to RF ON (#6401). Ensure that the antenna is connected correctly.
What to do if TransCore MPRX Rfid Systems reads tags intermittently?
If another MPRX is in the same area, make sure it is operating on another frequency that is at least 2 MHz different. Check for possible interference from another nearby RF source, such as fluorescent lights, neon signs, high voltage power lines, or cellular telephones. Lights will need to be removed or shielded. Point the external antenna in a different direction to see if interference comes from only one direction. You may require a different MPRX that uses another frequency. Verify that the RF power is set to an appropriate value. Verify that the range adjustment is set to the maximum. Verify that the reader is getting at least 12V (wayside), 24V (onboard).
How to restore factory defaults on TransCore Rfid Systems?
Different commands may have been used to support the other site’s specific configuration. You can restore the factory defaults by using a terminal emulation program to switch to command mode and issuing command #66F Load Default Operating Parameters. All factory defaults except RF frequency will be restored.
What to do if TransCore MPRX displays Error06?
Reset the frequency using Command #647XXX.
What to do if my TransCore MPRX Rfid Systems is not displaying data?
The MPRX may not have the software loaded inside the unit. Contact Technical Support. If you are using a terminal emulation program, check that the terminal emulation setting on the MPRX is VT100. Check that the MPRX communication cable is connected to the correct COM port. Verify that the external antenna is connected correctly. Also, check the position of the Interface Selection Switch.
Why TransCore MPRX external antenna angle needs adjustment?
The angle of the external antenna may need adjustment. Slightly tilt the external antenna to a different angle to change either the length or width of the read zone. Check the range control adjustment.
How to troubleshoot TransCore MPRX Rfid Systems when it is not reading specific tags?
Ensure that the reader is in the correct interface mode for the test tag, that is, AAR for an AAR-formatted tag. Check the system defaults using a terminal emulation program. Both PC and reader should be set to 9600 baud, 8 bits, 1 stop bit, and no parity.
How to resolve Error07 on TransCore MPRX?
Reset the RF frequency.
What to do if TransCore MPRX Rfid Systems wiring is not working?
Check all wiring connections and antenna connections and ensure that the buzz box is functioning. The wires from the MPRX are grouped in pairs. You may find more than one red wire, more than one black wire, and so on. Be sure to connect the correct red and white wire pair to the leads from the battery. Verify that RF is on. Using a terminal emulation program, you may switch to command mode and issue command #527 to determine RF status.
