Chapter 5 — Reader-Specific Platform Specifications
Basic Reader Interface Programmer Reference Manual
121
Antennas
Readers that contain the IM5 module have four antennas that can be controlled
with the ANTS attribute.
GPIO
Readers that contain the IM5 module have four general purpose input ports and
four general purpose output ports. The WRITEGPI command requires you to keep
track of the current status of the output lines in the application software. For help,
see
“WRITEGPO” on page 73
.
Reader Attributes
The default for the attribute INITTRIES is 1. Intermec recommends that you leave
the INITRIES value set to 1 for readers that contain the IM5 module. For more
information, see
“INITTRIES” on page 92
.
FACDFLT Command
The FACDFLT command restores the reader to its factory default configuration, as
described in
“Resetting the Reader to the Factory Default Configuration” on
page 3
. However, the reader remains in BRI mode of operation.
Readers That Contain the IM4 Module
RFID readers that contains the IM4 module with software version 5.
xx
(and higher)
support the BRI. These readers deviate from the BRI specification as described in
this section.
For a complete list of RFID readers that contain the IM4 module, see your Intermec
representative.
WRITEGPI Command
The WRITEGPI command sets the state of all the GP output lines available on a
reader. For more information, see
“WRITEGPO” on page 73
.
Readers that contain the IM4 module have two GP output lines, which you can set
to 0 (OFF) or 1 (ON). The WRITEGPI command can include a value from 0 to 3, as
shown in the next table.
