i-PORT III User’s Guide
Document ID: UG-i-PORT III NAE -24-
Duration The amount of time to put a tag into Sleep/Mute mode. The maximum sleep time for i-D2
is 6 seconds and 256 seconds for i-Q.
Detection
i-PORT settings which determine which tag types to interrogate and how.
Tag Type 3 Options: “i-Q8/32”, “i-D2” and “Both”
Depends on which tags need to be interrogated.
Note: “i-D2” and “Both” are not working in this version operating under FCC
15.231!
Mode 3 Options: “Normal”, “Max. Level” and “In/Out”
Normal: Tag is reported when it enters the read zone.
Max. Level: Report the tag with it’s largest recorded field strength during the
detection time interval.
In/Out: Report the direction tag Orientation recognition activated (Antenna
1…In, Antenna 2…Out, Antenna 3…In, Antenna 4…Out)
Detection Time Max. Level Mode: The window size used to determine the largest recorded field
strength. (Note: must be less than the Inhibit Time)
In/Out Mode: The window size used to determine the tag direction. (Note: must
be less than the Inhibit Time)
Inhibit Time If a previously interrogated tag leaves the zone for longer than the Inhibit Time,
it will be recognized as a new tag when it reenters the zone. If the tag reenters
the zone before expiration of the Inhibit Time, this time is reset as if the tag had
never left the zone
Event message
i-PORT settings to determine when an event message is to be sent and how it should look.
Event message - Event reason:
A tag or an input can serve as a trigger for an event
Tag 3 Options: “Enter”, “Leave” or “Enter and Leave”
A message is generated when the tag enters the zone, when it leaves the
zone, or both when it enters AND when it leaves the zone.
Input 4 Options: “None”, “Rising Edge”, “Falling Edge” or “Changing”
A message is sent when the Input detects either a rising edge, a falling edge, or
when any change at the Input is detected. Use None if nothing is attached to the
Inputs.
Message content Each message can contain up to 4 additional pieces of information. By marking
the check box, the corresponding information is added to the message (in
addition to the Tag ID): i-PORT ID, Time/Date, Tag Status and Field Strength.
Antenna settings:
i-PORT settings for the antennas, power outputs, etc.
Enable By marking the check box, the corresponding antenna is activated
Scan Enable By marking the check box, the corresponding antenna is also able to send
