commands

List the available command configurations

createreader <readertype> [<prop> <val>]*

Create a reader configuration. You must supply a readertype (from the output of the readertypes command). If called with no other arguments, a reader configuration with default properties will be created. You may change default properties, by supplying prop val pairs. The output of this command will give you the ID of the reader configuration, which you will need to control the reader later. A few examples:
createreader Alien9800 - Create an Alien9800 reader configuration with default properties.
createreader Alien9800 ip 192.168.1.115 port 23 - Create an Alien9800 reader configuration with the supplied IP and Port properties.

deletereader <readerID>

Delete a reader configuration. You must supply the ID of the reader configuration to delete (The ID was the output of the createreader command).

createcommand <commandtype> [<prop> <val>]*

Create a command configuration. You must supply a commandtype (from the output of the commandtypes command). If called with no other arguments, a command configuration with default properties will be created. You may change default properties, by supplying prop val pairs. The output of this command will give you the ID of the command configuration, which you will need to control the command later. A few examples:
createcommand Alien9800-GetTagList - Create an Alien9800 command configuration that gets tags with default properties.
createcommand Alien9800-GetTagList tagtype 1 - Create an Alien9800 command configuration that gets only Gen2 tags.

deletecommand <commandID>

Delete a command configuration. You must supply the ID of the command configuration to delete (The ID was the output of the createcommand command).

List the properties of the configuration. The ID can either be a reader configuration ID or a command configuration ID.

setproperties <id> [<prop> <val>]*

Set the properties on a configuration. You must supply either a reader configuration ID or a command configuration ID. Then you can list prop val pairs.
