Running the Device Controller Manually

This section explains how to enable and use the SAP device
controller on the IF5. In your SAP system, the controller
communicates with an SAP Auto-ID Infrastructure (SAP-AII)
server. On the IF5, the device controller software is installed in
the /usr/local/dc directory.
Note: Before you can use the SAP device controller, you need to
disable other RFID edgeware and enable the device controller.
When the controller is enabled, it automatically starts whenever
the IF5 is booted. For help, see
page 71.
To configure and enable the SAP device controller
1 Start the web browser interface. For help, see
Browser Interface" on page 19.
2 Assign a static IP address to the IF5. For help, see
"Configuring the IF5 (Setting the IP Address)" on page 10.
3 (Optional) If actual time should be used in messages reported
by the SAP device controller, set SNTP parameters. For help,
see "Configuring SNTP Client Settings" on page 36.
4 Change settings in the SAP-DC configuration files as needed.
For help, see "About the SAP-DC Configuration Files" on
page 143.
5 Save your changes and reboot the IF5. For help, see
Configuration Changes" on page 22.
When you enable the SAP device controller, it automatically
starts when the IF5 is booted. You can also start, stop, and
reconfigure the device controller manually via a Telnet session.
For help, see the next section.
Note: To open a Telnet session, you need to enable Telnet shell
access to the IF5. For help, see
