This section includes lists of problems and possible solutions.
Problems While Working With RFID
Many problems you may encounter when working with your RFID
system can be solved by carefully checking the RFID settings and
changing them accordingly. For help, see “About RFID Services” on
page 63.
RFID Problems and Solutions
Problem Solution
The IF61 is unable to read RFID tags,
or seems to read tags slowly or
inconsistently.
Check these conditions:
• Your RFID antennas must be connected correctly to
the IF61 and mounted in optimum locations. Make
sure all antenna connections are tight and that the
cables are in good condition. For help, contact your
Intermec RFID system consultant.
• For best performance, terminators should be installed
on all unused RFID antenna ports. If you have
operated the IF61 without terminators on all unused
antenna ports, the RFID module may be damaged.
For help, contact Intermec Product Support.
• To maximize IF61 performance, make sure you have
chosen the correct tag types for your application. For
help, see “Configuring BRI Settings” on page 64.
The IF61 does not respond to your
RFID application.
Your application may not be communicating with the
IF61 BRI server.
You may need to change BRI server settings to
communicate with your application. For example, if
your application is running on a desktop PC, you need to
enable external BRI connections to the IF61. For help,
see “Configuring the BRI Server” on page 70.
