SMR-650P Reader Communication
The SMR-650P Reader has both ultra high frequency (UHF) and low
frequency (LF) transmitters that communicate with all Savi RFID tags
via the integrated antenna.
Savi SmartChain Mobile Manager is Savi-provided software with the
SMR-650P-211 Reader that you must install on your Symbol 8100 or 8146
handheld. It displays information for tags that have been interrogated,
collected, or scanned. Tags are interrogated when the SMR-650P Reader
is in UHF mode, collected when the SMR-650P Reader is in UHF or LF
mode, and scanned when SMR-650P Reader is in LF mode.
Through the Symbol handheld, SmartChain Mobile Manager interfaces
the SMR-650P-211 Reader with the wireless and wired LAN so you can
download and upload information to and from the database.
UHF Mode Operation
The UHF transmitter sends commands and write information to Savi
RFID tags. In UHF mode the mobile reader supports single and continuous
collection modes.
When the mobile reader is in single UHF mode, you can only perform
one tag collection within a fixed radius. When the mobile reader is in
continuous UHF mode, you can perform multiple tag collections while
moving through a facility.
The amber status LED shows when the SMR-650P Reader is receiving
a UHF signal. When the amber LED flashes, it indicates that the mobile
reader received a valid data packet. The amber LED continues to flash until
all data is received. The amber LED is not functional during UHF transmit
or LF transmit.
