RFID Applications and the IP30
The IP30 communicates with the mobile computer through the
Basic Reader Interface (BRI) Server, which can be accessed in the
Application Connection screen within Intermec Settings. The
BRI Server controls the reader by issuing various BRI commands.
• To configure the BRI Server, see “Configuring the BRI
Server” on page 22.
• For more information on the BRI, see the Basic Reader
Interface Programmer’s Reference Manual (P/N 937-000-xxx) or
the Intermec Computer Command Reference Manual (P/N
073529-xxx).
Using the RFID Resource Kit
The Intermec Developer Library RFID Resource Kits includes
Java and .NET tools you can use to develop applications that
control the reader and data management.
The resource kit is available as part of the Intermec Developer
Library (IDL). To learn more about the RFID Resource Kit, go to
www.intermec.com and choose Products > Applications and
Software > Development Tools > Developer Resource Kits.
Creating Applications for the IP30
You must create an application for the IP30 before it can read
and write tags. Intermec recommends this general outline for
developing your RFID application:
• Write your application on a development workstation (your
desktop PC).
• Install and test the application on your mobile computer.
Note: European regulatory requirements state that a reader
operating in the 869 MHz frequency can only operate for 6
minutes every hour. The IP30 provides event messages
periodically informing the user of the remaining time the reader
can be used before this time limit expires. For more
information, see the RFID Resource Kits.
