You can only achieve optimum alignment of the antennas of the SIMATIC Ident CB Gate via
the connected PC or a PG and using the WBM (Web Based Management) of the reader. This
procedure is described below.
Required tools
The following tools are required:
• Inbus (5)
• Torx screwdriver (T30)
Requirements
• The individual components of the CB Gate are connected.
• A PC or programming device (PG) is connected.
• The CB Gate has started up but is disabled ("Home > Controls > Enable Gate > Off").
• The WBM of the reader was started.
Note: For the configuration via the WBM, a PC or PG must be connected, the connection
established and the access enabled. You can find information on this in the section
