RFID Applications and the IF30
An RFID application communicates with the IF30 through the Data
Collection Engine (DCE), and controls the reader by issuing Basic
Reader Interface (BRI) commands.
• For more information on the DCE, see “Configuring the Data
Collection Engine” on page 49.
• For more information on the BRI, see the Basic Reader Interface
Programmer’s Reference Manual.
Creating Applications for the IF30
An RFID application can communicate directly with the IF30 DCE
using the BRI protocol. For more information, see “Configuring the
Data Collection Engine” on page 49.
To develop RFID applications for the IF30, you will need to write and
test your RFID applications on a development workstation (your
desktop PC). The application can access the IF30 via TCP on port
2189.
Configuring RFID Settings
This section explains how you use the web browser interface to change
the settings for the IF30 RFID module. As you install and test
applications, you can configure the RFID settings for the best system
performance.
To change RFID module settings
1 From the menu, click RFID Module. The RFID Module screen
