The commands are grouped by the object they belong to. To specify the object a command relates to, the name of the object is used. Therefore, all commands that return the name of the object become useless, since the name must be known before it can be queried. All the names of a particular object type are global irrespective of where they belong to. Hence names need to be unique within their object type. All the commands are encoded by its straight forward conversion from UML notation. Each command is wrapped in its object type and contains its parameters as child elements. The id of the command The name of the object on which this command should be executed. It can be left out for static methods/ or commands targeted to ReaderDevice object An Alarm channel AlarmControl is the base class for all of classes within the RMP object model responsible for controlling the generation of alarm messages within an EPCglobal compliant Reader. Extension of Read point object for antenna. This class extends AlarmControl to control alarms generated when a monitored, integer-valued, model element first crosses a threshold value (the AlarmThreshold). The hardware element that provides external input and output lines to connect to other components outside the reader device. The notification channel carries messages issued asynchronously by the Reader to the Host. A Reader A ReadPoint A Read source A Read/Notify Trigger This class extends AlarmControl to control alarms generated when a monitored model element of type OperationalStatus transitions to a new value. For standard and vendor extensions Alarm channel object commands. static method to create an Alarm channel.
