RMS RFID System Management Commands
Command Description
RFID.INITIALIZE This command will send an instruction to the RMS client to re-initialize the RFID system, readers,
and tag information with the RMS server.
RFID.READER.REGISTER-
<rfid-reader-address>
(,<rfid-reader-address>..)
This command should be sent to the RMS client to register all RFID Readers.
This command should be sent in response to the RFID.INITIALIZE event.
Each reader address should be included, this command supports 1 or more reader addresses.
RFID.READER.STATUS-
<rfid-reader-address>,
<rfid-reader-status>,
<error-code>
This command should be sent to the RMS client on any RFID reader status change. This command
only needs to be sent after the RFID system has been initialized.
RFID.TAG.REGISTER-
<rfid-reader-address>,
<rfid-tag-id>,
<rfid-tag-name>,
<rfid-tag-info>,
<rfid-tag-timestamp>,
<rfid-tag-signal-strength>,
<rfid-tag-battery-level>
This command should be sent to the RMS client immediately after registering the RFID readers
using the RFID.READER.REGISTER command.
This is typically in response to the RFID.INITIALIZE event and allows the RMS client to synchronize
all RFID tag information with the RMS server.
This command buffers all the tag registrations in preparation for submission to the RMS server.
RFID.READER.SUBMIT.
REGISTERED.TAGS-
<rfid-reader-address>
This command should be sent to the RMS client after all the RFID tag registration commands are
