Extended Range Terminal

INTRODUCTION

The ImproX ER Extended Range Terminal is available, in a metal housing with one or two external antennas. The ImproX ER is ideally suited for use as an access control terminal or for OEM custom requirements where extended read range is necessary. The unit is designed to be used as an access point and will interface into the IXP200, 300 and 400 access control systems.

Due to its extended read range, this unit is capable of being used in situations where the use of a normal short-range passive proximity reader would not be effective.

A simple, auto-tuning procedure allows it to be placed in various locations where different amounts of metal are found.

The terminal is intended for indoor use.

APPLICATIONS

The ImproX ER is designed to be compatible with IXP200, 300 or 400 systems and is typically used for:

• Livestock Identification.
  
• Vehicle Identification.
  
• Product and Asset Management.
  
• Certain Access Control situations (as a ‘hands free’ door terminal).
  
• For OEM developments.

OTHER INFORMATION

Address Allocation – ImproNet System ImproNet Systems automatically allocate addresses to units, either on initial software start-up, or on request, depending on the system configuration. Also, in a system configured for address allocation on software start-up, when the system software is started-up after adding a new unit to an existing system, a system address will automatically be allocated to that unit.

Address Allocation – OEM Systems In an OEM system, the unit logical addresses are allocated individually using commands available in the ImproX Secure Communications Protocol. Details of this process are described in the ImproX Secure Communications Protocol document.
