6.5. Setting the API Level of the UHF RFID Reader
The UHF RFID reader has two modes when it comes to API. The demo program provided
with the equipment uses low level API to communicate with the reader. Whereas, the UHF
reader tool uses high level API to communicate with the reader. When connecting to the reader
using the UHF reader tool, the tool automatically checks the mode of the API. The tool
automatically switches to high level API mode if it finds that the reader is in low level API mode.
A message box pops up if automatic switching of low level to high level API occurs. Click "OK"
button to proceed if the message box pops up.
Always check the networking configuration and Ethernet cable when attempting to find the
UHF RFID Reader. If the tool cannot connect to the reader after a period of time, user could try
to switch API level manually by clicking on the "Set API" button on the search reader dialog.
The set API level can only be performed when a reader has been successfully searched. Select
"Set High Level API" button to switch the reader to high level API mode.
