Chapter 3 — Developing and Using RFID Applications
54 IF61 Fixed Reader User’s Manual
RFID Applications and the IF61
The IF61 supports Java and C# applications. Your application
communicates with the IF61 through one of two RFID services:
• the Basic Reader Interface (BRI) server, which controls the reader
by issuing BRI commands. For more information on the BRI
server, see “Configuring the BRI Server” on page 70.
For more information on using BRI, see the Basic Reader Interface
Programmer’s Reference Manual.
• the Low-Level Reader Protocol (LLRP), based on the EPCglobal
standard. For more information on LLRP settings, see
“Configuring LLRP Settings” on page 72.
For more information on LLRP, see the LLRP Programmer’s
Reference Guide.
There are two ways to use the IF61 with your RFID application:
• You can run the application on a remote server. In this case, all
processing is performed by the server.
• You can run the application locally on the IF61. In this case, the
application resides on the IF61, and much of the processing occurs
on the IF61 and not remotely on the server.
Running your application on the IF61 improves system scalability by
minimizing network traffic, since the IF61 can handle many
processing tasks such as data filtering.
You can set up your application to auto-start when the IF61 boots.
For more information, see “Auto-Starting Applications at Boot
Time” on page 57.
If your application uses the IF61 GPIO interfaces to control external
devices such as indicator lamps, running the application on the IF61
decreases response time for those devices. For more information, see
Chapter 5, “Using the IF61 GPIO Interfaces.”
Using 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 management.
