About RFID Services
The RFID service sets the protocol your application uses to
communicate with the RFID module. The available services are:
• BRI (Basic Reader Interface) - Intermec proprietary protocol
for controlling the reader. To configure BRI settings, see the
next section.
• LLRP (Low-Level Reader Protocol) - EPCglobal standard for
network interfaces between the RFID reader and its
controlling software. To configure LLRP settings, see
“Configuring LLRP Settings” on page 71.
Configuring BRI Settings
By default, the IF61 reader module uses BRI as its main protocol.
This section explains how to configure BRI settings that control
reader operation and communication with your application:
• To configure BRI attribute settings that control reader
operation, such as read and write tries, tag types, or antenna
settings, see the next section, “Changing BRI Attribute
Settings.”
• To configure BRI server settings, which manage how your
application communicates with the reader, see “Configuring
the BRI Server” on page 69.
Changing BRI Attribute Settings
BRI attribute settings control how the IF61 reader module reads
tags. Follow the next procedure to change attribute settings.
When you use the Diagnostics tool to display tags, the IF61
RFID module uses settings from the BRI Attributes screen. For
help, see “Testing the GPIO Interfaces” on page 73.
To change BRI attribute settings
1 From the menu, click RFID Services > BRI > BRI
Attributes. The BRI Attributes screen appears.
