• Reader ID:

Indicates the Device ID for the selected ANT-RDR, as specified via the

•Reader Address:Indicates the AxLink Device Address for the selected ANT-RDR. In the Global Registery page, the Reader ID is always "Global", and cannot be changed.

•Acquired Threshold (1...255): The ANT-RDR will notify the Master that a Tag's signal has been acquired when its RSSI signal is above the Acquired Threshold value.

•The allowed range is 1 (min.) to 255 (max)

•Default = 200

•Lost Threshold (0...254): The ANT-RDR will notify the Master that a Tag's signal has been lost when its RSSI signal is below the Lost Threshold value.

•The allowed range is 0 (min.) to 254 (max)

•Default = 50

• Sensitivity (1...255)	The Sensitivity setting is used to reduce the message traffic between the
	ANT-RDR and the Master:
	The ANT-RDR remembers the last RSSI value sent to the Master for each
	Tag it has acquired. On the next poll, only Tags whose current RSSI value is
	outside the range of the last sent RSSI value +/- the Sensitivity value
	entered here will be sent to the Master.

•The allowed range is 1 (min.) to 255 (max)

•Default = 30

•Tag-Lost Timeout (30...255 Use this option to specify the period time allowed to continue monitoring

seconds)	Tags whose RFID signal has dropped below the level specified in the Lost
	Threshold.
	• If a Tag’s RSSI signal has dropped below the Lost Threshold level, and is
	re-acquired by the Reader within the time period specified here, it will
	automatically resume normal functionality.
	• Conversely, if a Tag’s RSSI signal drops below the Lost Threshold level,
	and is not re-acquired within the specified time period, the Reader will no
	longer monitor for that Tag. Therefore, once the timeout period has
	elapsed, the Tag will not be automatically re-acquired, and must be
	manually re-entered into the system.
	• Default = 30 seconds.

• Status (Online/Offline)	Indicates the current status of the selected ANT-RDR (display-only).
