RFID Applications and the IP30
The IP30 communicates with the mobile computer through the Basic
Reader Interface (BRI) Server, which can be accessed in the
Application Connection screen within Intermec Settings. The BRI
Server controls the reader by issuing various BRI commands.
• To configure the BRI Server, see “Configure the BRI Server” on
page 29.
• For more information on the BRI, see the Basic Reader Interface
Programmer’s Reference Manual or the Intermec Settings
Command Reference Manual.
Use the RFID Resource Kit
The Developer Library RFID Resource Kits includes Java and .NET
tools you can use to develop applications that control the reader and
data management.
The resource kit is available as part of the Intermec Developer Library
(IDL). To learn more about the RFID Resource Kit, go to
www.intermec.com > Products > Applications and Software >
Development Tools > Developer Resource Kits.
Create Applications for the IP30
You must create an application for the IP30 before it can read and
write tags. Follow this general outline for developing your RFID
application:
• Write your application on a development workstation (your
desktop PC).
• Install and test the application on your mobile computer.
If you do not have an application but want to verify that your IP30 can
read and write tags, you can download the demo application from the
Intermec website.
