1. INTRODUCTION
AWID's Sentinel-Sense MPR-3014 WinCE bi-static reader MPR-3014WF-QB is a multi-
antenna Radio Frequency IDentification (RFID) reader with an on-board WinCE.
Reader Versions
MPR-3014WF-QB-NA (WinCE, Fixed, Quad-Ant, Mono-static & North America)
I/O Interface
One unique configuration for the MPR-3014WF-QB readers is the possibility of having
RS-232 interface and Ethernet interface simultaneously present at the reader data input
ports. To arbitrate possible data collision, MPR-3014 determines that local entry always
dominates. Therefore, when both Ethernet commands and serial commands are
present, serial command will dominate. This arbitration process is automatic and
transparent to the user.
MPR-3014WF-QB are long-range (12 to 25 feet, tag dependent) readers with general
purpose digital I/O (GP I/O – four (4) inputs four (4) outputs) that work with all leading
passive UHF passive tags. Each of these readers comes with a unique combination of
long read range, small size, and low power consumption. Its primary applications are
asset management & tracking, and fleet management applications.
