Configuration for the Troverlo Mobile Tag Reader for a customer (TTR-MHr1) (Internal)

Article on configuring the Troverlo Mobile Tag Reader for Customers (Internal)

Firmware can be found in this folder on dropbox

~\Troverlo Dropbox\Troverlo Server\Product\reader\Reader_1.7.0

Config.py

The config.py file is used to set all the configurations for the Tag Reader

Please check to ensure all these fields are set to these values before it is programming and sending a Tag Reader to a customer.

I highlighted the ones I change at times for testing and prototyping in
