The RST is a Microsoft Windows based application you install on your
computer. With RST, you can view all readers on your network. After
selecting a reader, you can modify its communication, network, and
operational parameters. You can also read tags, review tag data, and
perform diagnostics. This RST is primarily intended for initially configuring a
reader prior to deployment. After deployment, use the Embedded Reader
Configuration Tool (RCT). Detailed information on the RST is provided in
Chapter 5.
