Before you begin
You specify names for logical readers (that is, read or write points) when defining physical readers. You can create additional logical readers by combining existing logical readers. A reader created in this way is called a composite reader.
Composite readers are logical readers that combine a set of physical RFID readers as one group. They are used within an ECSpec to identify a group of readers based on a composite name, thereby providing the flexibility of adding physical readers to the group without having to change the ECSpec itself.They provide an easy way to add or remove logical readers when one or more ECSpecs have already been defined.
By defining composite readers, you can decouple applications from decisions you take at deployment time about how many readers are needed to cover a single location. For more information on composite readers, see Configuring and Monitoring Readers.
The Composite Reader page displays the composite reader names.
The Edit Composite Reader page displays the device name and the included readers.
