Channel

For the Active Extension, by default the Channel ID is set to auto. In this case, the system performs a channel survey when turned on and selects the channel used the least in order to avoid interferences between the active system and other devices. Note that

• Even if a channel is heavily used by Wi-Fi, there would still be sufficient gaps to operate the active system on the same channel.
• Auto mode will usually select channel 1 because this channel is not used by Wi-Fi and is often completely free.

If necessary, a different channel can be selected, when selecting the channel setting the system will first perform a channel survey and then show the channels and their qualities. You should select the channel(s) with the highest percentage, this is the clearest channel and will have the least interference.

Power

Adjust Loop Power using the left and right arrow keys, to understand how Loop Power impacts performance see Loop Power.

Note that the Active Extension automatically determines the length of the loop and adapts the real power on the loop accordingly, so that the same percentage value should always result in roughly the same read height.

Loop ID

Similar to the channel, the Loop ID normally runs in an auto mode. The RACE RESULT Active Extension, USB Timing Box, and Loop Box, each send out a status beacon every second on their Repeat channel. When turning on an Active Extension with auto loop mode, it will listen for a few seconds for the signals from the other Active devices and then select an unused Loop ID.

The auto loop mode is easy to use, but it may be easier to assign fixed Loop IDs so that you immediately know which Loop ID belongs to which device. Make sure not to assign a Loop ID twice - otherwise you will receive the detections on both Active devices (when running on the same channel).

If you accidently select a Loop ID which is already being used, the Loop ID will flash between the occupied Loop ID and an X. The example below shows a RACE RESULT System with a Loop ID which has already been selected. Another Active device has been assigned this Loop ID, so it should not be used.

V1 Legacy Mode

By default the V1 Legacy Mode is set to AUTO, in this mode it will use both the primary and backup channels to receive passing data, however if a transponder is detected which does not support this then the switching will be disabled until the system is rebooted or the setting is modified manually.

Channel switching can be set to ON to always keep it on, or OFF to always disable it, however this is not recommended since forgetting to change the setting back could have a negative impact on the data transmission.
