Deployment Modes
Introduction
Cloud Connect for RFID can be setup in three different modes of deployment.
• Pure Cloud deployment
• Hybrid deployment
• Local deployment
All of these deployment modes require that the reader be enrolled with the Zebra Data Services. For more
information on the enrollment go to https://developer.zebra.com/docs/enrolling-fx-reader
.
Pure Cloud Deployment
In a Pure Cloud deployment, the Management, Control, and Data interfaces of the Cloud Connect for RFID
feature are all configured to connect to the cloud services platform. The APIs provided by the Zebra Data
Services can be used to manage/control the reader and get the tag data. Figure 2 illustrates a Pure Cloud
deployment and the flow of different interfaces.
NOTE: The solid lines in Figure 2 represent the Management interfaces, the dotted black lines represent
the Control interface and the dotted red lines represent the Data interface.
