Ex Libris / 3M RFID Integration
Exlibris has recently updated the page below to include the latest information about 3M RFID integration in Alma.
https://developers.exlibrisgroup.com/alma/integrations/rfid
It is recommended that you place nginx at the root of C: when working on a Windows Machine. The service can be started and stopped using the following commands:
| nginx -s stop | fast shutdown |
| nginx -s quit | graceful shutdown |
| nginx -s reload | changing configuration, starting new worker processes with a new configuration, graceful shutdown of old worker processes |
| nginx -s reopen | re-opening log files |
Why are we doing this?
- To ensure that RFID materials can be read by the system, and their status can be changed (checked in / checked out).
- To ensure that the security gates do not alarm for items that are checked out, and do alarm when items that are not checked out
- To ensure that the security gates beep when non-checked out items walk outside the building.
Goals
- Successfully implement RFID integration in Alma
