The UHF transmitter sends commands and write information to these Savi RFID tags. When in UHF mode, this mobile reader will support two modes of collection: single and continuous mode.When your mobile reader is in single UHF mode, you can only perform one tag collection within your radius. When your mobile reader is in continuous UHF mode, you can perform multiple tag collections while moving through a facility.You would use the LF transmitter to put ST-654 tags to sleep mode to prevent unwanted interrogations (performed when the SMR-650P Pod is in UHF) and to preserve tag battery life.SMM.cab is a Savi-provided software that must be loaded onto your Symbol 8100 or 8146 handheld. It works in conjunction with the handheld and SMR-650P Pod and displays the tag information for tags that have been interrogated, collected, or scanned. Tags are interrogated when the SMR-650P Pod is in UHF mode, collected when the SMR-650P Pod is in UHF or LF mode, and scanned when SMR-650P Pod is in LF mode.Through the Symbol handheld, SMM.cab interfaces with the wireless and wired LAN to allow you to download and upload information to and from the database.60533RGZLWK6\PERODQGThe SMR-650P Pod is compatible with the Symbol 8100 and 8146 handheld, which are Windows Pocket PC devices with two keyboard options: 37 and 47 alphanumeric keyboards.
