The aim of this tutorial is to configure a SpringPark as a Network SmartReader. The SpringPark in this configuration acts as a TCP server (default factory port is 4000) and sends its tags to the client connected to this port.
For this howto, we will assume that:
Our SpringPark will output tag information using the SCRDR format (cf. SCRDR Protocol).
What is still possible: the Classical Access Control Architecture
SpringCard FunkyGate-IP/RDR is a network-attached wall smart reader, targetting physical Access Control and adopted by modern office buildings, airports, sensitive areas. The FunkyGate-IP+POE/RDR is the powered-by-the-network version. In a classical Access Control Architecture, the FunkyGate-IP/RDR acts as a TCP/IP server, and the Door Controller or the Access Control Central Computer connects to every reader as a client. The communication uses a custom client/server protocol, designed for reliability, security and speed.
