Abstract

See full text

A system for identifying which equipment slots of an equipment enclosure have equipment components located in them when specific equipment components containing radio frequency identification (RFID) tags thereon are inserted into specific ones of the equipment slots. The system may use a plurality of antenna elements that wirelessly sense the presence of an RFID tag at any of the equipment slots, and which generate outputs that may be interpreted as forming a plurality of codes. Each code is uniquely associated with a specific one of the equipment slots. A decoder system may read the output signals from the antenna elements to thus obtain the code and determine which specific ones of the equipment slots that an RFID tag was sensed at.
