2 Introduction
This document applies to Sargas readers with firmware version 5.1.3 or later, used in conjunction with API
version 1.29.1 or later. It explains how to set up the Sargas readers, how to configure them for network
operation, and how to use the browser-based interface. See the corresponding Sargas Firmware Release
Notes for operational differences that what is in this User Guide specific to a firmware version.
Separate appendices contain specifications and antenna information that are specific to the Sargas reader.
Applications to control the Sargas from an external host can be written using the high level MercuryAPI. The
MercuryAPI supports Java, .NET and C programming environments. Applications to control the Sargas using its
internal processor can be written via the C programming environment. The MercuryAPI Software Development
Kit (SDK) contains sample applications and source code to help developers get started demonstrating and
developing functionality. For more information on the MercuryAPI see the MercuryAPI Programmers Guide and
the MercuryAPI SDK, available on the ThingMagic website.
This document is broken down into the following sections:
Development Kit Quick Start Guide - Provides the minimal number of steps to begin reading tags using the
Sargas reader with a Sargas Development Kit.
Hardware Overview - Provides detailed specifications of the Sargas hardware and physical interfaces.
Programming Interfaces - Describes the programming interfaces, including on-reader applications, where to find
