3.3. Functional Test and Verification
1. Ensure that the matching board cables are properly
connected to the match boxes which are located on
the back of each compartment (Figure 10).
When the iRISupply™ Cabinet System has been
installed, the system must be tested to ensure optimal
operation. This includes antenna tuning, power-up
testing, validating LAN connectivity, and functional
compartment verification.
3.3.1. Power-Up Testing
Prior to powering up the cabinet for the first time
ensure that:
1. All antenna cables are connected to the
multiplexer;
2. The RFID reader is connected to its port on the
multiplexer; and
3. The antenna terminator is connected to the first
port on the multiplexer.

2. Route the matching board power cables from the
cabinet to the control cabinet through the trough
provided on the top rear of the cabinets.
NOTE
If these cables are not connected prior to
starting the cabinet, damage to the reader can
occur.
3. Route the matching board power cables into the
control cabinet through the holes at either end of
the trough of the control cabinet. Use the hole
nearest the cabinet being connected.
Once the cabinet is plugged in, powering up the
cabinet will include the following steps:
4. Connect the matching board power cable to the
appropriate connector in the patch panel (Figure
11). Remember that the cabinets are identified
from left to right as A through E. Each port in the
patch panel is labeled appropriately.
1. Insert the cabinet power key into the cabinet. Turn
the key all the way to the right. The ‘Power’ and
‘Reset’ buttons will turn red (Figure 27).
