RFID+ Study Guide and Practice Exam

| Exam Objectives | What it Really Means |
|---|---|
| 6.1 Given a scenario, describe hardware installation using industry standard practices | Understand the standard process and practices to deploy an RFID system. You must understand that system design selection and site analysis is a prerequisite for a successful installation. Also understand the concepts of ESD, grounding, and grounding loop in context of hardware installation. You should know how to consider different system variables and power sources during installation. You must understand that safety is a requirement and not just an option. |
| 6.2 Given a scenario, interpret a site diagram created by a RFID architect describing interrogation zone locations, cable drops, device mounting locations | You must be familiar with the issues involved with common installation scenarios such as conveyor portal, dock door portal, and forklift portal. You should also understand the importance of blueprints discussed in chapter 7. |
After selecting a system design, as discussed in Chapter 6, and performing a site analysis, as discussed in Chapter 7, you are now ready to install your RFID system. Think of installation as a process and not as an isolated task. The results from system design and site analysis are the input to the installation process. Installing hardware components and testing them are essential parts of deploying an RFID system. Before you actually install the hardware components, you should consider different installation scenarios and choose the one that best suits the given environment.
So, the core question in this chapter is: How can we successfully...
