Protocol-Specific Functionality
See the MercuryAPI Programmers Guide and language specific reference guides for details on supported
Gen2 command functionality.
IP-X
The Micro 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:
IP-X Protocol Configuration Options
Return Link Freq
(kHz)
Modulation
Scheme
Notes
64
PWM
Protocol ID = TagProtocol.IPX64
256
PWM
Protocol ID = TagProtocol.IPX256
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 Micro 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
