Working with RFID Access
Management
What does the device status mean?
The status of an RFID interrogator results from the current communication status between
the
ECS
software component and the device in question.
The following scenarios are used to differentiate the communication between the software
and the device:
•
Update to device configuration
: Changes to the configuration of the access points are
transferred automatically to the RFID interrogators available in the network as soon as
they are saved.
•
Update to access authorizations
: Changes that affect access authorizations are also
transferred to the RFID interrogators available in the network as soon as they are saved.
Such changes include adding or removing access profiles for an authorized participant,
deleting participants with at least one access profile, or modifying assigned access
profiles.
•
Retrieval of access information
: All the access information for an RFID interrogator
is retrieved continuously by RFID Access Management.
•
Retrieval of system logs
: The same applies to actions reported by an RFID interrogator.
Meaning of status LEDs
Status LEDs and notes have the following meaning:
Color
Note
Meaning
Green
Updated
(connection type
Permanent
and
Temporary
)
The RFID interrogator is up to date.
No update is required.
Yellow
In progress
(connection type
Permanent
)
The RFID interrogator is currently being updated.
If the update was able to be performed successfully,
the status LED switches to green.
If the update fails, the status LED switches to red.
Pending
(connection type
Temporary
)
The RFID interrogator needs to be updated.
To do this, connect the RFID interrogator to the
configuration software.
If the update was able to be performed successfully,
the status LED switches to green.
If the update fails, the status LED remains yellow.
Red
Fault
(connection type
Permanent
)
The update to the RFID interrogator has failed.
Check the network connection.
Make sure that the current firmware has been installed
on the RFID interrogators.
Make sure that the microSD card has been inserted
in the corresponding RFID interrogator.
