#3 Reader Management Commands: The current APIs support very minimal features of RM. There is a need to support most of the RM commands over APIs, so that whatever is currently possible through webconsole can be achieved by using our APIs. This include the new features that are being added as part of Falcon 1.1 program like GPIO debounce, Activesync/RNDIS switching, OSupdate using push mechanism etc. #5 Reader Statistics support: Support all the reader statistics supported in Merlin/Ozone readers.
The following features of ReaderManagementCommands will be exposed via API3 1.1:
-

CProxyCommandHandlerFALCON class will be extended to implement the new Reader Management commands supported by the Reader. The repeated block of code moved to seperate function to avoid redundancy and save Lines of Code.
-
The Reader Management Interface IReaderManagement will be extended new functions
-
CProxyCommandHandlerXR & CDeviceCmdHandlerOZONE requires dummy implementation for the new functions
-
Known Issue No1 - In Set User LED API, the LED_OFF enum is not turning off the LED, this issue will be confirmed with Merlin 1.1 team.
-
A specific version of .NET Dll should always be used along with the C-Dll released along with it.
-
Ensure backward compatibility of API31.1 Dll with API31.0 Applications (Sample Applications, API31.0 Testcases). Wherever existing structures have been expanded out of RESERVED fields, its to be ensured that if older applications are executed, there should not be any access violations due to unintialized fields.
APIs which are taking string input should be tested for both ANSI and UNICODE.
