that protocol’s frame and which channels are employed for that protocol. The Frame Sequence continually

repeats over the air.

Note 1: The Frame Sequence defines the repeating protocol time sequence that will be followed by the

reader, irrespective of the assigned MRFM-S status in the Channel panel.

Note 2 For an RF Module to participate in a protocol it must both be enabled for that protocol in the

applicable protocol panel and also set to Active or Guard in the Channel page.

Note 3: It is possible to create a sequence with channels and timeslots assigned for MRFM-S that are not

populated or active in the reader. This often occurs and is required when synchronizing two readers with

different number of channels populated as the time structure of the Frame Sequence needs to be the same

on both readers.

Note 4: For single lane solution where maximum handshake performance is desired, it is possible to set the

TDM frame sequence with a single channel.

Reader supported protocols

The Reader supports the following protocols.

• TDM

• SeGo

• ISO-6B

• ISO-6C

• ATA

To add or remove protocols from the frame sequence:

1. From the Dashboard page, select , or as a shortcut, click in the banner on any

protocol icon (e.g. ) to navigate directly to that protocol’s settings page.

Result: The following screen appears. By default, the reader is set up for reading and writing TDM protocol

transponders. Additional protocols can be added by clicking on the "+" icon.
