The system utilizes “beacon” tags that periodically report their presence with an encoded radio transmission. The Scorpion I Reader is a dual channel radio receiver tuned to the Scorpion I Tag transmission frequency. The Scorpion I includes a Client Bridge as the interface between the Scorpion I Reader and an Ethernet network. The reader receives the message and decodes the tag’s identity each time the tag transmits. The reader sends the tag identity information through the Client Bridge to the RF Code Concentrator LI software application for processing. The Client Bridge can be configured to operate as a wired connection to the Ethernet 10/100 network, using an RJ-45 connector, or using an IEEE 802.11b wireless connection to the host computer. 2 Purpose This manual provides instructions for the Scorpion I Reader setup and operation. The Scorpion I Reader has different modes of operation and optional functions that are user-selected, depending on the system’s operational requirements. 3 Scope The instructions in this manual show how to configure the Scorpion I Reader for physical options contained within the device itself. Operational Instructions for the Scorpion I System using RF Code’s Concentrator LI software are found in the Concentrator LI User’s Guide; RF Code publication IS1007 Scorpion I IIIAR Reader 2  Copyright 2001 RF Code, Inc. 4 Scorpion I Reader The Scorpion I Reader cont…
