Chapter 2 - Designing Robust BRI Applications Using the RFID Resource Kit You can use the RFID APIs to provide an abstraction layer between Intermec RFID devices. This ensures compatibility with all Intermec BRI readers and future enhancements to BRI. The RFID APIs are included in the RFID Resource Kit, which you can download from the Intermec Developer Library (IDL). To download the RFID Resource Kit • From the Intermec website at www.intermec.com, select Products > Software and Tools > Developer Library > Developer Resource Kits. If you cannot use the RFID Resource Kit, you should implement the software structure described in this chapter. Recommended Software Structure This section describes a design for software that communicates with a BRI reader. Follow this design if you need to develop your own implementation without the RFID Resource Kit. This software structure has distinct Message and Transport layers, which are described in "Programming the BRI Message Layer" on page 11 and "Programming the BRI Transport Layer" on page 12.

Using the RFID Resource Kit
You can use the RFID APIs to provide an abstraction layer between Intermec RFID
devices. This ensures compatibility with all Intermec BRI readers and future
enhancements to BRI. The RFID APIs are included in the RFID Resource Kit, which
you can download from the Intermec Developer Library (IDL).
To download the RFID Resource Kit
•
From the Intermec website at

Developer Resource Kits
.
If you cannot use the RFID Resource Kit, you should implement the software
structure described in this chapter.
Recommended Software Structure
This section describes a design for software that communicates with a BRI reader.
Follow this design if you need to develop your own implementation without the
RFID Resource Kit.
This software structure has distinct Message and Transport layers, which are
described in
“Programming the BRI Message Layer” on page 11
and
“Programming the BRI Transport Layer” on page 12
.
