3. OPERATING PROCEDURES

CAUTION:

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, with the aid of the Kapsch Operations Group.

CAUTION: Redundant Reader

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.

Starting up the Reader

This procedure outlines the correct way to power on and boot up a Reader.

Prerequisites: PSM power switches set to the off (0) position.

CTM ON/OFF switches set to OFF.

Set the Redundancy Mode switch on the SPM to AUTO.

Set the secondary and primary PSM power switches to the on (I) position.

Result: The +15V STATUS LED and the +5 STATUS LED on the PSMs illuminate solid green.

Set the CTM ON/OFF switch to the ON position, and wait for the CTM to complete its power up cycle, when the

Primary side ACTIVE indicator becomes green (typically less than 90 seconds). At this point the reader is able to

process tag reads.

Result: The POWER LED illuminates green. The MC indicator should blink green to indicate the reader software

is running. The CGC indicator should be solid green. The ACTIVE indicator should be green on the Primary side.

Note: If any CTM STATUS LEDs indicate an abnormal state, (see Table 6-1: CTM LED states explained on

page 183) perform the necessary troubleshooting procedure. See Troubleshooting Methodology on page

181 for more information.
