Directional Read Point

5min

About
Directional portals are powerful RFID sensor that can be mounted almost anywhere to track RFID tags passing through the sensors range. The most common configurations include doorway-mounted portals that track the movement of tags in and out of the room, and ceiling or wall-mounted portals that track the sightings of tags in a particular location.

LogEntryEvents
The list below are some common, potential LogEntryEvents a directional portal may send in. However, not all possible LogEntryEvents are listed in this table. The LogEntryLevel in use determines which LogEntryEvents are sent to Jetstream.
Name
Description
LowFlashMemory
LowFlashMemory occurs when the directional portal has less than 25% flash memory.
LowMemory
LowMemory occurs when the directional portal has less than 25% memory. This event will be sent every hour until the device reboots. Reboot occurs automatically if memory drops to 10%.
NewFirmwareDownloadError
NewFirmwareDownloadError occurs when a request to upgrade firmware fails.
ReadException
ReadException occurs when there is an issue performing an RFID scan.
Startup
Startup occurs whenever the directional portal is started up.
SensorReadingEvents
The Directional Portal does not generate any SensorReadingEvents.
