Greetings of the day
We are using RFID Sdk for Xamarin Andriod to perform some inventory in our application, I facing a scenarion where, im using TC21 and our app downloaded on it, after reading the tags if i keep the device idle for 30+ minutes, the Reader is turned off, Is there a way to keep the zebra device on for long hours? Whats need to be configured after reader connection?
Note: This isnt about 123RFID, we are using RFID SDK in our application, we gone through the developer guid, but unable to find it..

You can check the reader status with a timer, for example every 15 seconds.
Turn it on if the reader is off, but if the reader is on, then ignore it.
If you are using an RFD40/90 you can also use the 123RFID Desktop application to make configuration change the default sleep timeout. This is set to default for 30 minutes idle time to go to sleep to save battery.
Launch the 123RFID Desktop and connect to reader sled and navigate to the 'General' settings tab , now change the 'Off Mode Timeout' from 1800 seconds default to a newer desired setting. By making change to this setting the battery will depelet at a faster rate.
