Additional Properties Information for SAMSys
Reader
■ communicationTimeout – This property is used exclusively for all commands
and responses on the device, except tag read commands and the respective
responses. The property defines the inactivity threshold for reader responses.
Performance can be highly dependent on this property, therefore reduce it from
the default value of 10000 msec (10 seconds). You can start with a value of
1500msec, and make further reductions after observing deployment-specific
performance. Observe the read performance with log levels set to FINEST. For
more information, refer to
TABLE 2-4.
Both the communicationTimeout and observationSetTimeout properties
are used for detecting responses to the read command. The
communicationTimeout property is used for the initial response, while
observationSetTimeout is used for all subsequent observation responses.
communicationTimeout behaves this way for all other commands.
The observationSetTimeout property sets the inactivity threshold for
signalling that an observation set has completed. Default is 100 msec. This value
can be reduced after observing deployment-specific performance.
■ enableCommandResponseCRC – Specifies the Command Response Cyclic
Redundancy Check (CRC). Each command response received from the reader is
provided with a CRC checksum. The SAMSysAdapter enables you to verify that
the command response arrived without any transmission error. Alternatively, this
check can be omitted. This property is used to establish whether these checks are
performed. The valid values are true and false.
■ enableTagReadResponseCRC – Specifies the Response Cyclic Redundancy
Check (CRC). Each reported tag observation sent from the reader is provided
with a CRC checksum. The SAMSysAdapter enables you to verify that the
transmitted tag data arrived without any transmission error. Alternatively, this
check can be omitted to achieve greater system throughput. This property is used
to establish whether these checks are performed. The valid values are true and
false.
■ scanDuration – The SAMsys reader does not offer the ability to poll for a
specified duration as some other reader devices do. The adapter for the SAMSys
reader emulates this capability. The adapter waits for the end of transmission
from the reader (which could exceed the specified value) and dwells for the
remaining time if the elapsed time is less than the value specified in the
scanDuration property.
■ protocol – The SAMSys reader supports reading a number of different RFID
tags. The value of this property specifies the types being used during data
capture. The default is ALL. Multiple property definitions can be combined by
using a comma-separated list.The following protocols have been tested:
■ For ISO 18000-6A, the value is IS186A.
