Chapter 1 - Introduction
TYPES OF INTERFACES
The INfinity 510 reader supports human and machine communication
across either the serial or Ethernet ports. For the purposes of the human
interface discussion, this manual assumes you are communicating with the
reader using a standard Windows based PC.
Human Interface
PuTTY SSH Client
You can use any SSH
client application to
establish an SSH
connection to the
reader. The examples in
this manual use a free
application called
PuTTY. This application
is distributed under the
MIT license and is
provided on the product
CD.
The human interface allows you to manually submit commands to the
reader and observe any responses. There are several methods you can use
to establish this type of interface: Secure Shell (SSH) or Terminal Emulation.
To communicate across the Ethernet port, open an SSH using an
application such as PuTTY. This is a free application that is available from
http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/download.html.
To communicate across the serial port, open a terminal emulation session
with an application such as HyperTerminal. Namespace commands can
then be submitted across either port.
