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.
