Problem
My RFID channel[x] LED is flashing red on the interface.
Answer
Flashing red indicates no communications between the interface and the
transceiver. Check cables between the RFID interface and transceiver. Ensure the
power LED on the transceiver is green.
Problem
When I put a tag in the RFID field the LED on my transceiver and interface turns
amber.
Answer
When one or more RFID tags are detected in the field, the LEDs on the interface
and transceiver will turn amber indicating tag presence. When no tags are
detected the LEDs will turn green indicating no tags detected but
communications are healthy.
Problem
When I put a tag in the RFID field the power LED on the transceiver is solid
green, the R/W Status LED is solid green, and the LED indicator for that
channel is solid green.
Answer
Verify that the RFID tag is an ICODE compatible or SL2 style tag. The RFID
interface may not be able to detect proprietary tag types.
