Create RFID Applications
An RFID application can communicate directly with the IF2 BRI
Server using the BRI protocol, or it can communicate with the IF2
using the Low-Level-Reader Protocol (LLRP).
Intermec recommends that you write and test your application on a
development workstation (your desktop PC). The application can
access the IF2 BRI interface via TCP on port 2189.
About RFID Services
The RFID service sets the protocol your application uses to
communicate with the RFID module. The available services are:
BRI (Basic Reader Interface) - Intermec proprietary protocol for
controlling the reader. To configure BRI settings, see the next
section.
LLRP (Low-Level Reader Protocol) - EPCglobal standard for
network interfaces between the RFID reader and its controlling
software. To configure LLRP settings, see
“Configure LLRP
Settings” on page 48.
