System Guide Organization
Note: TransCore offers the Encompass 4/4800 Multiprotocol Reader in two models:
one with an internal antenna and one that requires connection to an external antenna.
In this system guide, information and instructions for both Encompass 4/4800 Multi-
protocol Reader models are presented. Where separate sections dictate, a section
detailing one Encompass 4/4800 Multiprotocol Reader model is followed immediately
with a section detailing the other reader model. In this system guide, the reader with
an internal antenna is listed first. In cases where the information does not warrant a
separate section, the addition of "...or antenna" distinguishes between the Encompass
4/4800 Multiprotocol Reader models.
