File-Based Mode

File-Based Mode

Resonate Device Initializer
, when used together with the Device Migrator utility, allows you to add a specified list of RFID readers to
Resonate
for management. You specify the required list using a spreadsheet file.
This is a two-part process:
  1. Use Device Migrator to add site and reader information into
    Resonate
    . The utility takes as input a standard XLSX spreadsheet file that lists your readers with the required information, including their site name. The spreadsheet must include the column headers detailed in the Additional Information subsection of Device Migration Utility. There must be a record (row) for each reader with this information. If the reader's site already exists in
    Resonate
    , specify only the site's name; otherwise, specify both the site's name and its full address.
  2. Use
    Resonate Device Initializer
    with the
    --no-ws
    option to load Resonate Agent onto each reader, securely connect the readers to
    Resonate
    , and then transfer control to the agent.
This solution is identical to the process for migrating readers from MotionWorks RFID Reader Management to
Resonate
. Follow the same instructions as described in Migrating from MotionWorks RFID Reader Management; file-based mode is referred to as adoption mode in this section.
