instructions.

14.11.1 Currently Available Apps
AccessManager
Automated vehicle identification (AVI) is one of the key markets that Kathrein Solutions is focusing on. AVI includes free
flow identification, plaza and parking applications. For parking applications, Kathrein provides a specially configured
software for access control called
AccessManager
.
The RRU 4xxx and ARU 3xxx series readers have a built-in industrial controller with Linux operating system. The entire
application can be installed and configured directly on the reader. The system can be operated as an isolated solution
without a network connection or alternatively via remote access over the network for configuration purposes or for data-
base adaptations.
The
AccessManager
application software allows user-guided input and configuration of the transponder data that is to be
captured. No programming knowledge is required in this case.
Flexible and efficient detection (e.g. of vehicles) is assured on the basis of the four digital inputs provided in Kathrein
RFID systems which can be used for activation. A start point can be defined for the application in this way, whereby a
light barrier or inductive ground contact is queried in order to activate the reading process.
Skidata
The Skidata app is a software-based solution that provides simple and easy interface integration of Kathrein RFID
readers with Ethernet in the latest generation of Skidata barrier systems. With the Skidata app, the reader will become
an officially certified SKIDATA compatible product.
Low Level Reader Protocol
Kathrein RFID readers are available with an optional LLRP (Low Level Reader Protocol) stack installable as an LLRP app.
All readers with an integrated embedded Linux OS can be controlled via LLRP 1.0.1 port 5084 for easier integration. To
specify air interface commands between readers and clients, LLRP is a ratified standard protocol from EPCglobal.
Profinet IO
The Profinet IO app allows the integration of a reader into a Profinet IO environment; the reader acts as an IO device. To
run the app, a valid licence key is needed. Licence keys (either a full licence or a time limited demo licence) are bound to
the specific reader the app is running on. For obtaining a licence key, the hardware key provided by the app is needed.
TagBlower
The TagBlower app can read tags asynchronously and generate messages,when a tag is coming or going. The app pro-
vides a server on a configurable port, where TCP clients can connect to receive those messages. The message format
can be specified by the user by setting a coming and/or going datagram. A datagram consists of normal text and
keywords.
