Set the Command IP address to the IP address of the HSS-MUR-300 reader obtained in section 1.2.2.1 above. Set the Command Port to 4684. Click Save. The host computer is now configured to issue commands to the Reader. 4. We now need to configure the host computer to listen to the Notification Channel, to receive information about tags read by the reader. Select Settings:Windows:Start nchannel. 5. After a moment, the Notification Channel 0.0.4 window will appear. [Note that this is a separate application, launched from Reader Management Utility.] Click Listen. You may see a security message if you have a firewall active on your host computer; click Unblock to allow the Notification Channel application to connect.](https://usermanual.wiki/Hitachi-America/HSS-MUR-300/User-Guide-661595-Page-13.png)

The read point is predefined to be assigned to one of the Antenna objects corresponding to the two physical antennas. To report the tag events to the host, the object also needs at least one notification channel, and a data selector with at least one data item (such as the tag ID) selected for reporting. All these objects should have been configured when you loaded the recreate_nc.txt file. If some of the objects are missing, you can use the Reader Management Utility to add them. You can also change the configuration of the reader to suit your requirements; e.g., you can add a continuous trigger or a timed trigger, or you can set up a filter that reports only tags that have been observed (read multiple times) rather than glimpsed (read once). The Reader Management Utility provides a pane on the left side to display the reader object’s current state, a set of panes on the right side to send Reader Protocol commands to the reader to change its state, and a set of menu commands for other specific purposes. To find the current configuration of the reader’s object model, click on the Get Reader Information button. The left-hand window will then be populated with a tree diagram depicting the state of the virtual reader. Click on the [+] symbols to expand the tree any object and show what objects it contains. You can issue Reader Protocol commands to the reader using the right-hand panels.](https://usermanual.wiki/Hitachi-America/HSS-MUR-300/User-Guide-661595-Page-17.png)

Antenna gains listed above do not include 0.6 dB cable loss, which must be added to published antenna gains to calculate effective antenna gain. Use of antennas with higher effective gain than the recommended antenna may lead to failure of the unit to comply with applicable standards for unlicensed operation in the United States. [2] The HSS-MUR-300 RFID Reader provides 4 externally accessible digital inputs and 4 outputs. These inputs are optically isolated (positive or negative, up to 30V differential) for external event sensing. The 4 digital outputs (on/off MOSFET switch operation up to 30V differential) control external devices. 8 Notices 8.1 RFID limitations Communication between tags and readers at 2.4 GHz is a complex phenomenon depending on details of the environment surrounding the tags and reader(s) as well as the equipment being used. Some environmental aspects (such as tag placement and orientation) may be controllable by the user; others (such as reflections of the RF radiation by ambient objects) are generally not. Careful installation and testing, and development and adherence to appropriate operating procedures, are indispensable for successful implementation of RFID. Hitachi America Ltd. makes no representation or warrantee that any specific configuration of RFID tags and readers will provide any given performance characteristics. 8.2 Safety Any use of this equipment with antennas or cabling installed outdoors or otherwise exposed to inclement weather must avoid proximity with power lines or other high-voltage conductors, and provide for proper grounding and lightning arresting devices to protect the equipment user in the event of a lightning strike. See National Electrical Code (NEC) requirements articles 725, 800, and 810 for further information. Do not operate the stationary portal readers in any area where critical safety equipment may be sensitive to RF interference, such as medical or life support equipment. Do not operate the stationary portal readers on board any aircraft in flight, or at any other time when operation of radio devices such as cellular phones is prohibited. Personnel should not be closer than 20 cm (8 inches) from any Stationary portal reader antenna for prolonged periods of time. See FCC bulletins 56 and 65 for further information on electromagnetic field exposure. 8.3 Limitation of liability The information in this manual is subject to change without notice and does not represent a commitment on the part of Hitachi America Ltd. Hitachi America Ltd., specifically disclaims liability for any and all direct, indirect, special, general, incidental, consequential, punitive or exemplary damages, including but not limited to loss of profits, revenue, or anticipated loss of profits or revenue, arising out of the use or inability to use any Hitachi America Ltd. product, even if Hitachi America Ltd. has been advised or the possibility of such damages or they are foreseeable, or for claims by any third party. 8.4 Patents Portions of the products described in this manual may be covered by granted or currently-pending US and foreign patents.](https://usermanual.wiki/Hitachi-America/HSS-MUR-300/User-Guide-661595-Page-31.png)

These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures: -- Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna. -- Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver. -- Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected. -- Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help. NOTE: Changes or modifications not expressly approved by Hitachi America Ltd. could void the user's authority to operate the equipment described in this manual. 9.1.1 RF Radiation Exposure Statement These devices comply with FCC radiation exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled environment, and users must follow specific operating instructions for satisfying RF exposure compliance. To comply with FCC RF exposure requirements, a separation distance of at least 20cm must be maintained between the antenna of this device and all persons. This device must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter.](https://usermanual.wiki/Hitachi-America/HSS-MUR-300/User-Guide-661595-Page-32.png)
