METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR OPTIMIZING MANAGEMENT AND CONFIGURATION OF RADIO FREQUENCY IDENTIFICATION READERS

摘要

A host server may optimize configurations of a set of readers under its control. The server assigns a multicast address to each reader in the set. Once connected, the server sends a multicast message to each reader assigned to the multicast address or to each reader within a given address range. Information in the multicast message is used for configuring or managing polling operations of each reader assigned to the multicast address or each reader within the given address range.
