Data Output Options
Smartreader Embedded can send the automatically collected information to one or more destinations through different protocols and methods configured in this section.
Local HTTP streams
To connect to the reader, form an HTTP request and consume the resulting stream for as long as is practical. The reader will hold the connection open indefinitely, barring reader error, excessive client-side lag, network hiccups, reader maintenance or duplicate logins. In the event there is no new data to stream for an extended period of time, a keep-alive CR-LF character pair will be sent.
The method to form an HTTP request and parse the response will be different for every language or framework, so consult the documentation for the HTTP library you are using.
Local socket server
When selecting this option, the Smartreader Embedded will send the tag information to a local socket server available inside the reader, in order to access the tag reading data just access the reader's IP address through the TELNET protocol on the port informed in the configuration (ex: 14150).
Local UDP server
When selecting this option, the Smartreader Embedded will send the tag information to a local UDP server available inside the reader, in order to access the tag reading data just access the reader's IP address through the UDP protocol on the port informed in the configuration (ex: 11000).
HTTP POST
If you want to send the read data directly to a web server, you can configure HTTP post information for your service here. It is possible to inform the URL of the server, the interval in seconds to perform the POST and choose an authentication type.
Serial Port
Smartreader Embedded will display the collected information on the USB port, using a virtual serial port. This feature also allows the Smartreader Embedded to send data over a special cable behaving like a keyboard if you select this option. You should choose a baudrate for this operation.
USB flash drive
The Smartreader Embedded will record the collected information on a USB stick connected to the reader's USB port, if you select this option.
