What Chainlink Wizard does with the SPECTRE

On each connection, the Wizard checks that the reader remains in autonomous mode.

  1. Discover

    The Lantronix module on the network.

  2. Set up

    Network settings and autonomous mode.

  3. Register

    Registration as an RFID portal and forwarding of reads.

03

Why the Wizard acts as a bridge

The SPECTRE delivers its reads on the local network. Chainlink Wizard sends them to your instance with the portal, antenna and signal strength.

  • The computer that runs the Wizard must remain on, with the Wizard installed as a system service
04

Confirming that the reader is online

The Wizard checks every 15 seconds that the reader responds.

  • If the reader does not respond, the portal changes to «Offline» even while the Wizard remains open
  • When the reader returns, the Wizard reconnects and sets autonomous mode again
05

Requirements

  • The reader on the network through its Ethernet module
  • Chainlink Wizard running as a service on a computer on the same network
  • On macOS, the local network permission
  • Professional or Enterprise and one RFID portal license

Frequently asked questions

For any other question, contact sales.

Does the SPECTRE send its reads directly to Chainlink? +

No. In autonomous mode, the reader delivers its reads over the network to Chainlink Wizard, which sends them to your instance. For that reason, the Wizard must remain open or be installed as a system service.

Is the USB-C port on the front of the reader used? +

That port emulates a keyboard. Chainlink does not use it: the reader connects by network, through its Ethernet module.

What does it cost to connect it? +

Each fixed reader registered as a portal uses one RFID portal license; the price per plan is on the pricing page. The reader, antennas and installation are purchased from a distributor.
