INfinity 510 Protocol Reference Guide - Sirit

Chapter 1 - Introduction
Machine Interface
Command/Response and Event Channels
The machine interface is a direct connection to the reader’s
command/response and event channels. The command/response channel
is a bidirectional interface and connects across port 50007. Commands
and the corresponding responses are sent across this channel. The event
channel is unidirectional and connects across port 50008. The event
channel reports asynchronous events such as errors, tag arrivals, and
digital output triggers.
A sample of software code required to open a communication session with
a reader is provided in the Establishing a Machine Interface section in
Chapter 2.
Interface Protocol
The INfinity 510 reader’s native protocol is ASCII text based and is used to
communicate over the Command/Response and Event Channels.
Every command is sent to the reader over port 50007 and should end with
\r\n. The corresponding reader response will end with \r\n\r\n. An
example of a command and response is shown in the following:
fcc\r\n\r\n
Events are returned from reader over port 50008. Every event is completed
with \r\n\r\n. An example event is shown in the following:
event.tag.report tag_id=0xAABBCCDDEEFFGG\r\n\r\n
