Adapter - DE5240-RFID-Dispenser

This page describes version 2.0.7 of the adapter.

Overview

This adapter controls the DE5240-RFID-Dispenser device using the Kiosk Router. Adapter remote communication with the DE5240 requires an Ethernet to Serial converter device such as the Perle IOLAN DS1 or a remote serial port software service provided by NEC, like Serial2TCP. The remote software service has the option to use certificates. The Serial2TCP Windows service must be configured to connect to the Kiosk Router and to communicate with the serial port the dispenser is connected to.

Connection Information

The adapter connects to Kiosk Router using information specified in the adapter properties.

  • The URL to the Kiosk Server such as https://kioskserver:8080.
  • The Kiosk position name the device is connected to.
  • The router token specified in Serial2TCP on the device.
  • The client certificate and private key for the adapter to connect.
  • This is available in Kiosk Admin under UIP Adapter Connection in Connection Settings.

The Kiosk position name and router token together make a unique key to match the adapter and Serial2TCP running on the client.
