2.0 COMPONENTS
2.1 i-PORT III
i-PORT III is the next generation of IDENTEC SOLUTIONS’ ILR interrogators. It is capable
of communicating with i-Q series tags with a communication range up to 100 meters.
Up to four antennas (plus one extra send antenna) can
be connected to i-PORT III. Built-in signal strength
measurement capability enables the localization of tags
using triangulation.
i-PORT III is delivered complete with standard software,
which offers the user a variety of options:
• Communication with ILR i-Q tags
• Simultaneous operation with up to four antennas
(receive), with the option of a fifth antenna (send)
• Communication with host computer systems via
Ethernet interface
• Data processing (event messages, in/out, etc.)
• Configuration by means of web-interface (remote
maintenance)
i-PORT III has a Real-Time Operating System (RTOS: Thread X) and an internal Real-Time
Clock (RTC), which permit an exact time allocation of the data. Up to 2000 data messages
can be stored temporarily.
2.2 Antennas
Patch antennas can be used with i-PORT III for definition of read zones. Your system
installer will select the appropriate mounting height for optimal communication range
along with consideration of safety issues.
