Hybrid Deployment
In a Hybrid deployment, the Control, Management, and Data interfaces can be configured to connect to
different endpoints. For example, the Control and Management interfaces can be connected to the cloud
services platform and the Data interface can be configured to connect to a local HTTP/HTTPS server. This
scenario is illustrated in Figure 3. When the Data interface is configured to connect to the local
HTTP/HTTPS server, the reader will send tag data information to the HTTP/HTTPS server as POST
requests.
NOTE: The solid lines in Figure 3 represent the Management interfaces, the dotted black lines represent
the Control interface and the dotted red lines represent the Data interface. The Control and management
functionalities can be exercised through the ZDS REST APIs.

Local Deployment
In a local deployment, the reader is setup to have all the interfaces (Management, Control and Data)
exposed locally so that once enrolled, the reader does not have to be connected to the Internet. When
setup this way the Control and Management interfaces are exposed as REST APIs on the reader that can
be directly accessed as shown in the figure below. The data is sent as HTTP/HTTPS POST request to the
specified server. This is illustrated in Figure 4.
NOTE: The solid lines in Figure 4 represent the Management interfaces, the dotted black lines represent
the Control interface and the dotted red lines represent the Data interface. The Control and Management
functionalities can be exercised through the local REST APIs.
