Cautions

Cautions indicate a risk of damage to equipment or loss of data.

CAUTION:

Caution description here.

The following cautions appear in the manual:

Improper modification of configuration parameters may adversely affect system operation.

The default values may not be appropriate for the specific application. It is the system

integrator’s responsibility to tailor the configuration parameters to the specific operating

environment.

Both CTMs in a redundant Reader must be properly configured. Each CTM has its own

browser interface and is configured independently, unless Configuration Alignment is

enabled. If Configuration Alignment is not enabled, ensure any configuration changes made

to one CTM are applied to the other CTM, as required.

Log file formats are not under ICD control and the format may change without prior

notification. Log files are for diagnostic purposes only and are not guaranteed to be

maintained in non-volatile storage.

Excessive bending or kinking can damage the RF feedline cables. Do not excessively bend or

kink the RF feedline cables when installing them between the antennas to the Reader

enclosure.

Removing a powered CTM from the Reader rack can damage the CTM. Before removing a

CTM from the Reader, ensure that power on the affected side of the Reader is turned off, i.e.

the power switch on the PSM is in the off position, or the PSM AC input power cord is

disconnected.

To avoid damaging the modules, ensure that the connector on the module is properly aligned

with the connector on the DSM back plane before the module is securely plugged into the

DSM.

Activating inactive factory software/firmware on a running system is not recommended. The

factory software/firmware may not be appropriate for the specific application.

During software/firmware activation (typically less than 60 seconds), the Reader will switch

over to the other side to process and report transactions, regardless of the position of the
