Functionality of the Mercury6e

Protocol Support

The M6e has the ability to support many different tag protocols. Using the MercuryAPI
ReadPlan classes the M6e can be configured to single or multi-protocol Read operations.
The current protocols supported are (some may require a license to enable):



ISO 18000-6C (Gen2)



I-PX



ISO 18000-6B

ISO 18000-6C (Gen2)

Protocol Configuration Options

The M6e supports multiple ISO-18000-6C profiles including the ability to specify the Link
Frequency, encoding schemes, Tari value and modulation scheme. The protocol options
are set in the MercuryAPI Reader Configuration Parameters (/reader/gen2/*). The
following table shows the supported combinations:

Note

It is important that the /reader/baudRate is greater than /reader/
gen2/BLF

, in equivalent frequency units. If its not then the reader could be
