RFID::Matrics::Reader::TCP - Implement RFID::Matrics::Reader over a TCP connection

This class takes a host and port to connect to, connects to it, and implements the Matrics RFID protocol over that connection. It is designed to use a serial-to-Ethernet adapter plugged into the serial port of the reader; I tested it with the NPort Express from Moxa.

An example:

    use RFID::Matrics::Reader::TCP;

    my $reader = 
      RFID::Matrics::Reader::TCP->new(PeerAddr => 1.2.3.4,
				      PeerPort => 4001,
				      Node => 4,
				      Antenna => MATRICS_ANT_1,
				      Debug => 1,
				      Timeout => CMD_TIMEOUT,
				      )
        or die "Couldn't create reader object.\n";

This class is built on top of RFID::Matrics::Reader and RFID::Reader::TCP.

This constructor accepts all arguments to the constructor for RFID::Reader::TCP. All other parameters are passed along to the set method.
