1.2. Reader Software
The INfinity 610 is shipped with two software applications that you can use
to configure and control the reader.
Reader Startup Tool (RST)
RST is a Microsoft Windows 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, perform diagnostics, and upload new
software. 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.
Embedded Reader Configuration Tool (RCT)
RCT is an embedded reader application that allows you to access your
readers across the internet. Enter the IP address of the reader into your web
browser and the RCT allows you to fully modify and operate the reader. With
the same functionality as the RST, this application allows you to modify the
reader’s communication, network, and operational parameters. You can
also read tags, review tag data, perform diagnostics, and upload new
software. This application is primarily intended for configuring and
managing deployed readers. Detailed information on the RCT is provided in
Chapter 6.
1.3. Transitioning from the INfinity 510 to INfinity 610
Users who transition from the INfinity 510 to the INfinity 610 should not
experience any significant compatibility issues. However, there are a few
cases where the 610 is not 100% backwards compatible with the 510.
These include:
h 610 uses LF240 instead of LF256 (should only affect FCC region).
h 610 does not support operating modes of
autonomous and polled.
Only
active and standby are supported.
h 610 uses reader.events.register instead of
reader.register_event.
h 610 uses reader.events.unregister instead of
reader.unregister_event.
h 610 GPIO connector pin 1 is on the left.
