USB operation Mode

This feature is supported only on FX series readers. The FX Reader’s USB connection can be configured to be either ActiveSync or Network. While in ActiveSync mode, the ActiveSync application running on host gets connected as soon as the USB cable connected to the Reader is plugged in to the host. While in Network mode, the Reader and the host gets connected as a virtual network, reader being 169.254.10.1. This acts as a fallback mechanism to login to the Reader’s web console to know its primary IP. The property USBOperationInfo can be used for getting or setting this information.

            try

            {

                // Get USB Mode

                USBOperationInfo usbOpInfo = rm.USBOperationInfo;

                Console.WriteLine("Current USB Operation Mode is      : " + usbOpInfo.Mode.ToString() +

                    "AllowLLRPConnectionOverride = " + usbOpInfo.AllowLLRPConnectionOverride.ToString());

                // Set USB Mode

                USBOperationInfo newUSBOpInfo = new USBOperationInfo(USB_OPERATION_MODE.NETWORK, true);

                rm.USBOperationInfo = newUSBOpInfo;

            }

            catch (OperationFailureException exception)

            {

                Console.WriteLine("USB Operation Mode failed " + exception.Message);
