--- title: Directional Read Point slug: jetstream-v2/directional-read-point docTags: createdAt: 2024-01-22T14:53:43.682Z --- ## 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.

Not applicable when PointMode is "true". | Bool | 0 | 1 | 0 | | FieldOfView | Sets how scanner sets its range
* Narrow * Wide | String | - | - | Narrow | | HeartbeatEventInterval | The number of minutes between sending a HeartbeatEvent. | Int | 0 | 600 | 60 | | InactivityInterval | Time in seconds communications will wait before re-establishing a connection if there is no activity. | Int | 70 | 3600 | 300 | | JetstreamDeviceUrl | The URL to which the directional portal sends Jetstream messages. | String | - | - | us-device.jetstreamrfid.com | | JetstreamWebsocketAppEndpoint | The Jetstream resource used to connect for WebSocket communications. Using '#' will disable WebSocket communications. | String | - | - | /dwsliveconnection.ashx | | LingerTime | Time in seconds that a tag can "linger" under scanner before it is reported. Used to help with excessive reporting when a tag is directly under scanner and is picked up going back and forth. Not applicable when PointMode is "true". | Int | 0 | 300 | 30 | | LogEntryLevel | The verbosity of the logs sent by the reader
* Off * Error * Warning * Information * Verbose | String | - | - | Error | | LogFileLevel | The verbosity of the logs saved locally on the reader

A value of -1 disables this feature. | Int | -1 | 23 | 0 | | PointMode | When set to true, the device will send events when tags are simply in field of view. When set to false the device will send directional information. | Bool | 0 | 1 | 0 | | ReaderLogEntryOnFailure | Generate a LogEntryEvent when communications to the internal RFID reader fails. | Bool | 0 | 1 | 0 | | ReaderMode | Sets the mode that scanner searches for tags
* Performance * Sensitivity
Not applicable when PointMode is "true". | String | - | - | Performance | | RemoveEvent | Sets whether an aggregate event "remove" is sent when a tag leaves the field of scanning. Not applicable when PointMode is "false". | Bool | 0 | 1 | 0 | | SameSectorLogEntry | If set to true, the device will report that a tag exited the field in the same direction as it entered. Not applicable when PointMode is "true". | Bool | 0 | 1 | 0 | | SecureSocket | Use secure communications over HTTPS for the reader. | Bool | 0 | 1 | 1 | | TagPopulation | Estimate of number of tags in the field of view at one time. Not applicable when PointMode is "true". | Int | 1 | 1000 | 20 | | VersionsFileUrl | Location of file listing current versions of firmware. Used to configure auto firmware update. | String | - | - | http\://firmware.tersosolutions.com/versions.json | ## 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.
