RFID Applications and the IF2

Your application communicates with the IF2 through one of two RFID services:
•
•
For more information about creating an installation package or installing an appli-
cation on the IF2 with Expanded Memory option, see Chapter 4,
Applications on the IF2 with Expanded Memory Option."

Use the RFID Resource Kit

The Intermec Developer Library RFID Resource Kit includes Java and C# tools you
can use to develop applications that enable control of the reader and data man-
agement.
The resource kit is available as part of the Intermec Developer Library (IDL). To
learn more about the RFID Resource Kit, go to
Software>Software and Tools>Developer Library>SDKs for Windows>Intermec
Resource Kits>Developer Tools.

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 Pro-
tocol (LLRP).
Honeywell 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:
•

The Basic Reader Interface (BRI) server, which controls the reader by issuing BRI
commands. For more information on the BRI server, see
Server" on page 31.
For more information on using BRI, go to

The Low-Level Reader Protocol (LLRP), based on the EPCglobal standard. For
more information on LLRP settings, see
