Resonate Device Initializer and Initializing the RFID Readers
Resonate Device Initializer and Initializing the RFID Readers
After installing Resonate RFID Reader Management, you must run the Resonate Device Initializer utility on a Windows machine to initialize the readers; this also installs the Resonate Agent on the readers. The utility is separate from Resonate so that it can run locally on the same network segment as the readers for discovery purposes.
Resonate Device Initializer supports two modes:
Discovery-based device onboarding: Resonate Device Initializer automatically discovers all supported RFID readers on the same subnet. In this case, you must run the utility onsite and on the same subnet as your RFID readers.
File-based device onboarding1: Resonate Device Initializer requires that you provide a file with an explicit list of supported RFID readers that you need Resonate RFID Reader Management to manage. You can run the utility from any Windows machine provided there is network access to the RFID readers.
The Resonate Device Initializer utility is a self-contained executable (
rm-device-initializer-<VERSION>.exe
) without an installer. It is distributed in the
resonate-<VERSION>.tar.gz
file that you received from Zebra.
Resonate requires a fresh installation and device initialization.
For information on how to use the utility, refer to the Resonate RFID Reader Management User Guide.
