                            • Kathrein provides free of charge a test and configuration software called “ReaderStart“ with every reader for easy-to-start application developments. All management parameters of the reader, e.g. setting the IP address, can be configured as well as all RFID-specific values in order to prepare the reader for its application. By using predefined templates such as gate application for goods or access control for vehicle/ person identification, an RFID reading result can be achieved very quickly, even if an application software is not yet available. The Reader!Start software is the all for use with RAIN RFID readers from Kathrein Solutions.

                            • RTLS SOFTWARE

                            • The test and configuration software RTLS!Start offers you the possibility to operate the entire system in a test mode or to configure all parameters and settings. For example, the three different localization methods (ToF, TDoA, AoA) can be selected and tested for suitability to solve your application. The tool can also be used to update the firmware status and load configurations. RTLS!Start is not used as software for productive operation, for productive use we recommend Kathrein CrossTalk or the integration of our system into a comparable system using the available API.
