Configure Region
Different countries have different RF regulatory requirements. To assure regulatory compliance, select
Region to set the reader for specific regulatory requirements in the country of reader operation using the
Configure Region Settings window.
Because of the differing frequency requirements, there are several versions of the hardware. The list of
choices on this page is limited by the software to those selections compatible with the hardware in use.
Note that if only one option is compatible with the hardware, that option is selected automatically.
Figure 37 Configure Region Settings Window
• Region of Operation - Select the region for the country of operation from the drop-down list. This list
includes regions which have regulatory approval to use with the current board.
• Communication Standard - Select the communication standard from the list of standards that the
chosen region supports. If a region supports only one standard, it is automatically selected.
• Frequency Hopping - Check to select frequency hopping. This option appears only if the chosen
region of operation supports this.
NOTE:Region configuration is not required for readers configured to operate in the United States region
(under FCC rules).
