Configure device using Web Interface

To connect the reader to TCPIP endpoint, follow the steps below:

Import Certificates(For Secure TCPIP mode only)

For Secure TCP connections the Root CA certificate of the tcpip client need to be imported into the reader.

Using SCP

  • Copy generated certificates and CA certificate into reader. (copy to desired folder inside /apps/).

Using Web UI

  • Create PFX file from certificate generated and import into the reader. For information on how to import the certificates to reader, refer to Certificate Management Section.

Add TCPIP Endpoint

  1. Open a web browser to connect to the reader using the host name or IP address.

  2. Click Communication > Zebra IoT Connector > Configuration.

  3. Click on Add Endpoint button to add new endpoint.

    ZIOTC Add Endpoint

  4. Select TCPIP for Endpoint Type.

  5. Configure Endpoint Name and Endpoint Description fields.

  6. Configure Connection details with desired settings.

Note

port

  • port at which reader should listen for tcpip client connections

protocol
  • protocol used for connection.

    • TCP for unsecure connection over TCP(nonsecure TCPIP mode)

    • TLS for secure connection over TCP (secure TCPIP mode).

KeepAlive

  • The time (in seconds) the connection needs to remain idle before TCP begins sending keepalive probes to check if the connection is still alive.

KeepAlive Interval

  • The interval (in seconds) between successive keepalive probes if no acknowledgment is received from the remote host.

KeepAlive Count

  • The maximum number of keepalive probes TCP should send before deciding that the connection is dead and closing it.

Verify Server Certificate

  • verify the peer certificate in case of secure TCPIP.

  1. Configure Certificates section with the location of certs inside reader for secure tcpip mode only. The certificate and passphrase need to be provided in secure mode.

  2. Click on Add.

  3. Once added the endpoint will be seen under Endpoint Configurations.

Interface Configuration

  1. Open a web browser to connect to the reader using the host name or IP address.

  2. Click Communication > Zebra IoT Connector > Configuration.

  3. Select TCPIP_TEST endpoint for Tag Data Interface1. Choose the desired endpoint for Management Interface , Control Interface and Managementevent Interface if required.

  4. Click on Update button to update interface configuration.

Start ZIoTC Service

  1. Open a web browser to connect to the reader using the host name or IP address.

  2. Click Communication > Zebra IoT Connector > Connection.
