3. 

Connect:

  Connect to a specific reader.  

When the reader is in server mode, it listens 

for incoming requests on the network.  Using 

this mode, the reader-service must connect 

to the reader explicitly by using the reader’s 

IP address.  The reader’s IP address can be 

obtained through the reader auto-discovery 

mentioned earlier in this document. 

NOTE:

  The host and port parameters are 

selected from the list of network connected 

readers.  The reader plug-in name is specific 

to the model or brand of reader.  In this ex-

ample, the reader is a Nordic-ID RF reader.

{

  “host”: “177.77.7.112”,

  “port”: 4333,

  “readerPluginName”: “NordicId”,

}

NOTE: 

 Get the connected reader details and 

ID from the connect command response. The 
RF reader ID is needed for the other com-

mands.  In this specific example, the reader 

ID is 

K182100224
