Common Error Messages
Appendix A: Error Messages 55
Solution
Check the HW specifications for the supported powers and insure that the level is not
exceeded.
The M5e 1 Watt units support power from 5 dBm to 30 dBm.
The M5e-Compact units support power from 10 dBm to 23 dBm.
FAULT_MSG_INVALID_FREQ_RECEIVED (104h)
Cause
A message was received by the reader to set the frequency outside the supported range
Solution
Make sure the host does not set the frequency outside this range or any other locally
supported ranges.
FAULT_MSG_INVALID_PARAMETER_VALUE - (105h)
Cause
The reader received a valid command with an unsupported or invalid value within this
command.
For example, currently the module supports four antennas. If the module receives a
message with an antenna value other than 1 to 4, it returns this error.
Solution
Make sure the host sets all the values in a command according to the values published in
this document.
FAULT_MSG_POWER_TOO_LOW - (106h)
Cause
A message was received to set the read or write power to a level that is lower than the
current HW supports.
