Change ID and Name of Active OR Tags

Each Active OR tag comes with an automatically assigned ID and a default name. These can be changed in DISPLAX Connect to make identification and management easier.

For example, you may want to:

  • Reassign a tag ID (e.g., change Tag ID 1 to Tag ID 2, since IDs are attributed by pairing order)

  • Rename a tag with a user-friendly name instead of the default one

Important Notes

  • Tag IDs are assigned in the order tags are paired, but can be changed manually.

  • Tag names can be customized, but spaces are not allowed (use underscores or hyphens if needed).

  • IDs and names are stored in the system and reflected in DISPLAX Connect and the DISPLAX Service API.
