4 - 18 FX7500 RFID Reader Integrator Guide
Antenna Configuration
• Choose Read Point - Select a read point to display the configuration.
• Description - Enter a read point description of up to 32 alphanumeric characters.
• User Configuration - Enable or disable the read point. Disabling a read point blocks RF operation using
the port/antenna.
• Air Protocol - Displays the air protocols the read point supports. The reader currently supports only EPC
Class1 GEN2 air protocol.
• Cable loss (dB/100 ft) - Specifies the cable loss in terms of dB per 100 feet length for the antenna cable
that is used to connect this read point port to the antenna. Refer to the specification of the antenna cable
for this information. The default value is 0. Setting this and the cable length to non-zero values allows the
compensating for the RF signal loss in the cable due to attenuation by specifying an appropriate increase
in the transmit power for this read point. The reader uses this and the cable length value to internally
calculate the cable loss. The calculated cable loss is internally added to the power level configured on
the read point.
• Cable length (ft) - Sets the cable length in feet of the physical cable that connects the read point port to
the antenna.
• Set Properties - Select Set Properties to apply the changes. Select Commit/Discard on page 4-45 to save
the changes to the reader.
Read Points - Advanced
Click Advanced under Read points in the selection menu to view the Advanced Antenna Configuration window.
Use this window to modify the transmission power and frequency configuration elements of the antenna.
