WebSphere brand IBM WebSphere Sensor Events, Version 6.2

Configuring fixed readers

Asset Inventory Management Services for WebSphere® Sensor Events can be integrated with readers, as well as other devices capable of producing tag reads, that are defined and configured as part of WebSphere Sensor Events. A fixed reader is a stationary device located at the entry or exit point of a zone and is used to automate the tracking of asset movement between zones.

Asset Inventory Management Services for WebSphere Sensor Events system properties are configured using a WebSphere Resource Environment Provider. You can access the system properties using the WebSphere Application Server administrative console:

  1. Browse to: http://localhost:9060/admin
  2. Navigate to Resources > Resource Environment > Resource Environment Providers > AVSProperties > Custom properties.

The fixed reader integration offers two types of functionality:

The following system properties can be used as part of configuring fixed readers:

com.ibm.rfid.atv.fixedreaders.ids
A comma delimited list of fixed reader IDs.
For example:
com.ibm.rfid.atv.fixedreaders.ids=R1, R2
com.ibm.rfid.atv.fixedreaders.boundingzoneid.reader_id
The ID of the bounding zone to associate with the reader having a certain reader ID. Replace the variable, reader_id, with one of the reader IDs listed as part of the value of the com.ibm.rfid.atv.fixedreaders.ids property.
For example:
com.ibm.rfid.atv.fixedreaders.boundingzoneid.R1=1
com.ibm.rfid.atv.fixedreaders.boundingzoneid.R2=2

The zone ID for this property can be determined using the Update Zone option in the Asset Inventory Management Services for WebSphere Sensor Events user interface.

com.ibm.rfid.atv.fixedreaders.timer.reader_id
A time, in milliseconds, denoting for how long subsequent tag reads of the same asset should be ignored before applying the fixed reader logic again.
For example:
com.ibm.rfid.atv.fixedreaders.timer.R1=1000
com.ibm.rfid.atv.fixedreaders.timer.R2=2000
com.ibm.rfid.atv.fixedreaders.logic
The algorithm to apply for the fixed reader logic, either LOGIC_BOUNDING_ZONE or LOGIC_ZONE_IN_ZONE_OUT.
For example:
com.ibm.rfid.atv.fixedreaders.logic=LOGIC_ZONE_IN_ZONE_OUT
