communicates with the RFID readers using a pull-based architecture, where the readers fetch instructions from the
Resonate server
. To add readers to a Resonate RFID Reader Management instance to be managed, they must be initialized. This term refers to the steps taken to find the readers, connect to them, install the
Resonate Agent
utility onto the readers, and connect the readers securely to the Resonate RFID Reader Management instance.
For this purpose,
Resonate RFID Reader Management
comes with a separate Windows utility for device initialization,
Resonate Device Initializer
. Run the
Resonate Device Initializer
utility to prepare the readers for this architecture. The utility can discover all supported RFID readers on the subnet, and you use the
Resonate RFID Reader Management web interface
to choose which to manage and control.
The
Resonate Device Initializer
utility is separate to allow the option of running locally on the same network segment as the readers.
