62 IF2 Network Reader User Manual
Manage the IF2
There are two methods you can use to manage the IF2. You can use:
• a web browser. For help, see “Use the Web Browser Interface” on
page 11. This manual assumes you are using this method for all
procedures.
• the Device Configuration web service. For help, see the next
section.
Use the Device Configuration Web Service
The Device Configuration web service provides a way to
programmatically configure the IF2 over your network. This SOAP-
based service provides a configuration API that allows you to specify a
variety of network, RFID, and system settings via XML-encoded
messages.
Follow the next procedure to enable the web service or to download
the Device Configuration web service description language (WSDL)
document.
For more information on the Device Configuration web service, see
the Device Configuration Web Service Command Reference Manual.
