You can change the Control Station's group name after installation by invoking the
RFID Configuration Manager. The only way to change the group name for the
Execution Agents is to reinstall them, so be careful when you define the group name.
Note – All of your deployment information is managed from the Control Station.
No configuration information is lost by reinstalling an Execution Agent.
Managing a Distributed Installation
Use a custom installation to create distributed installations where the Execution
Agent components are located on separate machines that are remote to the Control
Station machine. See the Sun Java System RFID Software 3.0 Installation Guide for more
information on creating a distributed installation for your RFID Software.
Distributed Installation Component Scripts
The RFID Software includes scripts that are designed to run or stop various software
components. When a distributed installation is created, the Control Station and
Execution Agents can be started separately by invoking their individual startup
scripts. The same is true for separately stopping the components. These scripts also
include a “restart” option for use with their respective components.
Note – The Control Station must be started before the Execution Agent can be
started. Starting the Execution Agent when no Control Station is present results in
an error. You need to stop and restart the Execution Agent after the Control Station
has been started.
Starting and Stopping the Control Station
If the Control Station components are installed as part of a Custom installation, use
the script station stored in /rfid-install-dir/bin to start the Control Station.
To use the script, change to the specified directory and type one of the following:
■ To start the Control Station, type station start.
■ To stop the Control Station, type station stop.
■ To show the status of the Control Station, type station status.
■ To show the version of the Control Station, station version.
