Configuration Instructions

1. Transcore Reader Setup

• Configuration: Transcore readers are configured via host software at the distributor.

• Default Setup: The readers are typically set up correctly by default. In case of issues, revisit the initial setup.

• Power Supply: Ensure the Transcore reader has a separate power supply.

• Installation: Ensure the transcode reader is correctly oriented to read tags by adjusting the pan & tilt of the device to be facing directly at car windshields. Line of sight is best way to ensure the reader is correctly oriented.
