Chapter6 Configuration
Configuring the Reader
After installing the MPRX, you need to configure its operating parameters. Terminal settings should be
initially set at 9600 baud, 8 data bits, no parity, 1 stop bit, and no software flow control.
Default Operating Parameter Settings
Table 26 contains the factory default configuration settings for the MPRX operating parameters. The
default configuration settings may not be the correct operating configuration settings for a specific site.
Review the default configurations shown in Table 26 to determine which parameters, in addition to
operating frequency and operating range, need to be adjusted. Refer to “Commands” on page 5–56 for
a complete list of parameters and the corresponding commands.
Note: The dual-protocol MPRX internal timing varies depending on the operative tag read mode
and the type of tag in the read field.
