1.4.1.8 Hot Lists
The FP-300RA supports up to 20 hot lists with a total of 1024 transponders:
2. A hot list consists of an automatically-performed function (auto-function), a
digital output command and a list of transponders.
3. A transponder can be included in only one hot list.
4. Hot list 0 is the default hot list and contains no transponders.
When a transponder enters the communication zone, the FP-300RA checks whether it is a
member of a predefined hot list: if positive, the corresponding hot list auto-function and digital
output command are performed.
1.4.2 Maintenance Mode
The tasks performed in the maintenance mode are as follows:
 Configuration
 Communication zone calibration
 Self-test.
1.4.2.1 Configuration
The FP-300RA configurable parameters are divided into two groups:
 Parameters that can be changed only via the maintenance interface
 Parameters that can be changed via either the host or the maintenance interface.
The current configuration is stored in non-volatile memory. When the FP-300RA is restarted, it
looks for the last saved configuration and uses it.
If no valid configuration is found, the FP-300RA sets the configuration parameters to their
default values. The configurable parameters are explained in Appendix C.
1.4.2.2 Communication Zone Calibration
The FP-300RA has built-in transmit power and digital squelch control. The FP-300RA stores
the transmit power and digital squelch settings for every active lane and use it when switching
between lanes. The calibration procedure (explained in Appendix E), enables setting every
lane’s communication zone.
1.4.2.3 Self-Test
The FP-300RA supports two types of tests, destructive and non-destructive. Non-destructive
test enables the FP-300RA to continue operating in normal mode, whereas the destructive test
terminates the normal mode.
