6.2.2 Timeslot configuration

When multiple RFM antennas are installed in one row or close to each other, each

antenna must be configured with the correct timeslot setting, to avoid alarms being

triggered on other antennas when a tag is moving close to one of the antennas.

The selectable timeslots are 1 and 2 and must be set in an alternating pattern. When the

first antenna is set to timeslot 1, the second antenna must be set to timeslot 2, the third

antenna to timeslot 1, the fourth antenna to timeslot 2, the fifth antenna to timeslot 1 and

so on. The next image shows the correct timeslot setting for a multiple antenna setup.

6.3 RF Mono configuration

Although the RF Mono antennas come pre-configured with factory settings, it can be

necessary to fine-tune these antennas for best performance in your specific environment.

The RF Mono antennas must be configured using a CrossCONNECT Access Point and a

laptop computer with Cross Point Device Explorer software installed.

The next chapter will cover all configuration possibilities using Cross Point Device

Explorer.
