Tarvos User Guide - Version 0.3 20
5.4 Profiles
There are several TSI commands that facilitate the ability to save and load profiles on the reader (in
addition to the reset_factory_default() function discussed earlier). Here are the commands:
reader.profile.delete()
reader.profile.list()
reader.profile.load()
reader.profile.save ()
reader.profile.active
These commands allow the user to save current configurations of variables. After saving the configuration,
the name given to that configuration will be active the next time the reader reboots. A total of 5 unique
profiles can be saved by the Tarvos reader.
Please see the additional information on these commands in the section that documents the TSI
commands.
5.5 Reader Modes
TSI has two main operating modes (‘standby’ and ‘active’). When in ‘active’ mode, the reader is actively
reading tags from any configured antennas (see ‘antennas.mux_sequence’). Any tags read during ‘active’
mode will be sent as events on the event channel (see “tag.reporting” namespace). In ‘standby’ mode, the
reader is no longer trying to read tags.
setup.operating_mode
To turn the reader into active mode, you can perform the following TSI command on port 50007 of the
reader:
“setup.operating_mode=active\r\n”
