Configuring Readers
Reader Configuration Methods
Each Reader Object has a set of named parameters which provide device metadata and/
or provide configuration settings. The names of parameters are strings; case
insensitive. Related parameters are grouped together in a filesystem-style layout, for
example, the parameters under
/reader/antenna provide information about and allow
configuration of the devices antennas.
paramGet()
The paramGet() method retrieves the value of a particular named parameter. The
returned type is generic (Object) and must be cast to the appropriate type.
paramSet()
The paramSet() method sets a new value for a parameter. The type of the value that is
passed must be appropriate for the parameter. Not all parameters can be set.
paramList()
The function String[] paramList() returns a list of the parameters supported by the
Reader instance. Readers of different types (serial, RQL, etc.) support different
configuration parameters.
Save and Restore Configuration
M6e Only
The M6e supports configuration settings to be saved in flash providing configuration
persistence across reboot. Currently (M6e FW v.1.B) the following settings can be saved
across reboots:
