Operating the Reader Using the ReaderStart Software
③
Keep alive time
specifies the intervals of time at which the r
eader sends a data packet to check whether the
receiver is still available
If the connection to the reader is broken, the reader shuts down the connection. If this parameter
is deactivated (0 ms), the socket is shut down only when the reader is restarted.
If no keep-alive time is set, it may happen that the reader cannot take up any further
connections because the existing connections have not been properly shut down, e.g.
following a breakage in the wire. In this case, it is necessary to restart the reader. It is
recommended to use the keep-alive time to check the connection between the reader
and PC.
