AdvanGo
Introduction
This read mode requires AdvanNet-2.5.4-xx or higher.
This read mode is designed for AdvanGo systems, but it can also work with any general purpose reader.
AdvanGo read mode is meant to be used with self checkout systems with the reader connected to a computer that manages the self checkout procedure and where the reader feeds the computer the EAN values decoded from the tags placed in the shopping bin through the keyboard emulation feature. It makes sure that every tag placed in the bin is sent only once to the complimentary computer to avoid overcharging repeatedly the end customer with the same item.
Configuration
Select the Autonomous system mode and under the RF & Antenna options select READMODE_ADVANGO under the Read Mode drop down menu and you'll see the read mode's specific configuration:
Cache TTL (m): Is the amount of minutes a tag must be out of reach of the system to be fed to the complimentary computer.
Events
This read mode will generate TAG_ADDED events. This is to be taken into account when configuring Events & Actions or configuring services like HTTP Service:
[{
"event":"TAG_ADDED",
"path":"'/path/to/my/resource/1'",
"body":"
var body='{';
body+='\"type\": \"'+ctx_type+'\",';
body+='\"devid\": \"'+ctx_devid+'\",';
body+='\"devip\": \"'+ctx_devip+'\",';
body+='\"devmac\": \"'+ctx_devmac+'\",';
body+='\"epc\": \"'+ctx_epc+'\",';
body+='\"uri\": \"'+ctx_uri+'\"';
body+='}';
"
}]

USB HID Service
In order to make the system compatible with most hardware we suggest using the usb hid service to feed the EAN values to the computer though keyboard emulation. The default configuration (with Enabled = true ) works for most cases if the tags are properly SGTIN encoded.
