Chapter 4 - BRI Commands Understanding the Parameter This section describes the reader attributes you specify in the parameter in ATTRIBUTE commands. For help using the ATTRIBUTE command, see "ATTRIBUTE" on page 36. You can use this command to display the current values for the reader attributes on your reader: ATTRIBUTE The BRI returns a list of attributes that varies based on the current setting for the TIMEOUTMODE attribute: • If TIMEOUTMODE is enabled, then ANTTIMEOUT and IDTIMEOUT appear in the list. • If TIMEOUTMODE is disabled, then ANTTRIES and IDTRIES appear in the list. (TIMEOUTMODE is disabled by default.) The reader attributes are all reserved keywords, as listed in "Keywords Reserved for Reader Attributes" on page 20. ANTENNAS or ANTS Sets the antenna sequence to be used during READ and WRITE commands. This parameter is reader-dependent because different readers have different numbers of antennas. ATTRIBUTE ANTS=n,n,n,n,n,n,n,n where n is a number between 1 and 4 which identifies an antenna. You can specify up to eight n values. This attribute is limited to values up to the number of antennas supported on the reader. Default is 1. This example tells the reader to turn on the second antenna: ATTRIBUTE ANTS=2 86 Basic Reader Interface Programmer Reference Manual

Basic Reader Interface Programmer Reference Manual
Understanding the <ATTRIBUTE NAME> Parameter
This section describes the reader attributes you specify in the <ATTRIBUTE NAME>
parameter in ATTRIBUTE commands. For help using the ATTRIBUTE command,
see
“ATTRIBUTE” on page 36
.
You can use this command to display the current values for the reader attributes on
your reader:
ATTRIBUTE<CRLF>
The BRI returns a list of attributes that varies based on the current setting for the
TIMEOUTMODE attribute:
•
If TIMEOUTMODE is enabled, then ANTTIMEOUT and IDTIMEOUT appear
in the list.
•
If TIMEOUTMODE is disabled, then ANTTRIES and IDTRIES appear in the
list. (TIMEOUTMODE is disabled by default.)
The reader attributes are all reserved keywords, as listed in
“Keywords Reserved for
Reader Attributes” on page 20
.
ANTENNAS or ANTS
Sets the antenna sequence to be used during READ and WRITE commands. This
parameter is reader-dependent because different readers have different numbers of
antennas.
ATTRIBUTE ANTS=
n,n,n,n,n,n,n,n
where
n
is a number between 1 and 4 which identifies an antenna.
You can specify up to eight
n
values. This attribute is limited to values up to the
number of antennas supported on the reader. Default is 1.
This example tells the reader to turn on the second antenna:
ATTRIBUTE ANTS=2
