Chapter 3 — Developing and Using RFID Applications
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 Library > Developer Resource Kits.
Creating RFID Applications for the IF61
Intermec recommends this general outline for developing your RFID
application:
1 Write and test your application on a development workstation
(your desktop PC). The application can access the IF61 via TCP on
port 2189.
2 After testing is complete, install the application on the IF61. For
help with installing applications on the IF61, see “Installing
RFID Applications on the IF61” on page 59.
Note: If you plan to auto-start your application when the IF61
boots, Intermec recommends that you install your software on the
IF61 and start it manually to verify that the executable or script
runs properly. Then you can use the web browser interface to
configure the application to auto-start at boot time. For
information about starting an application manually, see
“Managing Applications” on page 60.
Delivering Applications to the IF61
Note: The IF61 does not provide C# compilers or Java JIT compilers.
You can perform application compilation on a development
workstation.
For Java applications, create a .zip file that includes your Java
application (.tar, .gz, .bz2, or .zip format only), RFID Java libraries,
and a configuration file. Install the .zip file on the IF61 as described in
“Installing RFID Applications on the IF61” on page 59. Be sure to
specify the class path to the libraries.
For more information on configuration files, see the next section. For
help with executing Java applications, see “Executing Java
Applications” on page 58.
