Integrating Into Your Asset-Tracking Solution

Integrating Into Your Asset-Tracking Solution

The basic steps for integrating Resonate RFID Reader Management into your asset-tracking solution are outlined below. This guide deals with the first step. Refer to the user guide for information on the remaining steps.
In these steps,
Resonate
refers to Resonate RFID Reader Management, and your application refers to your application or partner's application that processes RFID reads.
  1. Install
    Resonate
    on one or more Linux machines (nodes).
    When you run the
    online
    Resonate
    installer, it downloads
    Resonate
    containers from Zebra's Artifactory repository and downloads third-party open-source prerequisites as needed.
  2. From a browser, log in to
    Resonate
    to configure it and eventually to manage your RFID readers.
  3. If required, configure
    Resonate
    to use your Single Sign-On (SSO) provider (for example, IAM/SSO) for authentication.
  4. Configure
    Resonate
    to send email alerts to administrator users.
  5. Configure
    Resonate
    to send alert webhooks (https POST messages) to your IT case management solution.1
  6. Run the Resonate Device Initializer on a Windows machine to initialize the readers that
    Resonate
    needs to manage, monitor, and configure; this also installs the Resonate Agent on the readers. For automatic device discovery, run the utility onsite and on the same subnet as your RFID readers; for an explicitly specified list of readers, you can run the utility from any Windows machine provided the network access is open2. The Resonate Device Initializer is a single executable without an installer and with no outside dependencies.
  7. Connect business applications that consume RFID tag read data directly to each reader to subscribe to its data streams.
1 Currently, your application is responsible for alert monitoring.
2 This mode is referred to as file-based mode and will be supported in an upcoming release.
