Configuring Voting Time

Manually setting a voting time gives a fixed voting time to each channel. Dynamic voting time allows the Reader

to calculate and base the voting time on the average capture zone span time (the average time it takes for OBUs

to pass through a capture zone, for a given channel).

Manually set the voting time for a channel

Prerequisites: Accessing the Reader web interface, page 42.

1. Navigate to the Channels page.

Result: The following screen appears.

In the Voting Time field enter a voting time in milliseconds, to set the voting time for all OBUs that are not TDM

bumper mount transponders transponders. Repeat for all channels.

In the LPT/FME Voting Time field enter a voting time in milliseconds, to set the voting time for TDM bumper mount

transponders (also referred to as LPT or FME). Usually these OBUs are given a longer voting time. Repeat for all

channels.

Review the Transponder Timeout field in the Group panel. This specifies the minimum time a transponder must

be away from the last read in a capture zone before it is reported again as a new transaction when it is detected.

Allowing the Reader to calculate the optimum voting time using Dynamic Voting

Prerequisites: Accessing the Reader web interface, page 42.
