NAME

RFID::Matrics::Reader::TCP - Implement RFID::Matrics::Reader over a TCP connection

SYNOPSIS

This class takes a host and port to connect to, connects to it, and implements the Matrics RFID protocol over that connection. It is designed to use a serial-to-Ethernet adapter plugged into the serial port of the reader; I tested it with the NPort Express from Moxa.

An example:

    use RFID::Matrics::Reader::TCP;

    my $reader = 
      RFID::Matrics::Reader::TCP->new(PeerAddr => 1.2.3.4,
                                      PeerPort => 4001,
                                      Node => 4,
                                      Antenna => MATRICS_ANT_1,
                                      Debug => 1,
                                      Timeout => CMD_TIMEOUT,
                                      )
        or die "Couldn't create reader object.\n";

DESCRIPTION
