Chapter 3 Making RFID Applications

NOTE: The yellow RFID LED on the RS700’s front panel indicates the Smart- Reader Server status. On means SRS is running. On and flashing means TCP server in SRS is running and waiting for request from SRSRC. On and fast flashing means TCP server is processing requests from SRSRC. Off means SRS is not running. On and not flashing means TCP server in SRS is not running so SRSRC cannot connect to it.
