IP-X
The M6e supports multiple IP-X profiles including the ability to specify the Return Link Frequency, encoding
and modulation scheme. The two profiles are treated as distinct protocols, the individual parameters are
not configurable as with the other protocols. The following table shows the supported combinations:
NOTE: The two link rates are effectively two different protocols and treated as such. IP-X tags are fixed
to one of the two frequencies and cannot communicate on the other, unlike ISO 18000-6B/C tags
which can operate under multiple profiles.
ISO 18000-6B
The M6e supports multiple ISO-18000-6B profiles including the ability to specify the Return Link
Frequency, encoding, Forward Link Rate and modulation scheme. The protocol options are set in the
MercuryAPI Reader Configuration Parameters (/reader/ iso18000-6b/*). The following table shows the
supported combinations:
Delimiter
ISO18000-6B tags support two delimiter settings on the transmitter. Not all tags support both delimiters,
some tags require the delimiter be set to 1, but the default is 4.
The delimiter setting is set using the MercuryAPI Reader Configuration Parameter:
/reader/iso180006b/delimiter
