CSL CS101-2 EPC CLASS 1 GEN 2 RFID HANDHELD READER USER'S MANUAL, VERSION 1.0 10.2.3 Customer Expectation Management Customer expectation must be well managed. It is the job of the system integrator, particularly the sales person, to warn the customer away from expecting perfect scores. The truth is, even if 100% read is not achieved, the user can still benefit (in the sense of ROI, efficiency, lead time, cycle time, etc.) to a substantial extent.

The following page has a flowchart that the system integrator needs to go through in order to set up the software. The first step is to configure the users parameter, such as operator name, ID, password, etc.

CSL CS101-2 EPC CLASS 1 GEN 2 RFID HANDHELD READER USER'S MANUAL, VERSION 1.0 10.2.6 System Integration The actual system integration should most desirably be carried out in two steps: 1. in house integration and test; 2. onsite integration and test.
PAGE 174
CSL CS101-2 EPC CLASS 1 GEN 2 RFID HANDHELD READER USER'S MANUAL, VERSION 1.0 10.2.7 Pilot Test Pilot test must of course be done on site. The unique building infrastructure and environment of the end-customer venue can result in dramatically different performance (worse, usually) scores compared to that in the system integrator’s own office. Therefore pilot test must be done on site.

The following are just a few possibilities and suggestions for customization.
