Information technology — Radio frequency identification (RFID) for item management — Software system infrastructure — Part 3: Device management
This document defines interfaces for device management of RFID systems. Interfaces are defined that provide for discovery, configuration, initialization and monitoring of RFID systems within the software system infrastructure (SSI). This document only deals with devices that provide RFID related services. It does not distinguish the form factor of such RFID devices. This document provides two distinct interface sets, one based on the GS1 EPCglobal DCI standard and the IETF SNMP RFCs and the other based on the Organization for the Advancement of Structured Information Standards (OASIS) DPWS standard. The definition of the Device Profile for RFID is referred to in this document as the RFID Device Management Profile, or RDMP. Each interface option set provides interface definitions that provide ISO/IEC 24791-3 Client Endpoints and Services Endpoints with the mechanisms for: — the discovery of the RFID devices and services on a local or remote subnet; — a firmware upgrade service; — a management service that implements configuration related functions; — a monitoring service for reporting alerts, diagnostics, and performance information. The two interface set definitions provided by this document allow for clients and services endpoints to implement and provide the services based on the specific characteristics of the RFID system to be implemented. Subclause 1.2 defines the Conformance requirements for systems that implement components of one or both of the interface sets.

Introduction
Radio frequency identification (RFID) air interface technology is based on non-contact electro-
magnetic communication among interrogators and tags. RFID software systems are composed of RFID
interrogators, intermediate software systems and applications that provide control and coordination
of air interface operation, tag information exchange, and health and performance management of
system components. RFID technology is expected to increase effectiveness in many aspects of business
by further advancing the capabilities of automatic identification and data capture (AIDC). To achieve
this goal through the successful adoption of RFID technology into real business environments, RFID
devices, software systems and business applications have to provide secure and interoperable services,
interfaces, and technologies. This is the goal of the ISO/IEC 24791 series, created for RFID software
system infrastructure (SSI).

Part 3:
Device management
1 Scope
1.1 General
This document defines interfaces for device management of RFID systems. Interfaces are defined that
provide for discovery, configuration, initialization and monitoring of RFID systems within the software
system infrastructure (SSI).
This document only deals with devices that provide RFID related services. It does not distinguish the
form factor of such RFID devices.
This document provides two distinct interface sets, one based on the GS1 EPCglobal DCI standard
and the IETF SNMP RFCs and the other based on the Organization for the Advancement of Structured
Information Standards (OASIS) DPWS standard. The definition of the Device Profile for RFID is referred
to in this document as the RFID Device Management Profile, or RDMP.
Each interface option set provides interface definitions that provide ISO/IEC 24791-3 Client Endpoints
and Services Endpoints with the mechanisms for:
— the discovery of the RFID devices and services on a local or remote subnet;
— a firmware upgrade service;
— a management service that implements configuration related functions;
— a monitoring service for reporting alerts, diagnostics, and performance information.
The two interface set definitions provided by this document allow for clients and services endpoints
to implement and provide the services based on the specific characteristics of the RFID system to
be implemented. Subclause 1.2 defines the Conformance requirements for systems that implement
components of one or both of the interface sets.
1.2 Conformance
This document provides two interface sets; the DCI and SNMP Interface Set and the RDMP interface Set.
If a certain implementation conforms to the mandatory functions of at least one of the interface sets,
that implementation is conformant to this document.
1.3 DCI and SNMP interface set
This document divides the DCI capabilities into two Conformance Groups:
— Discovery, Configuration, and Initialization Conformance Group: this Conformance Group is defined
in Clause 7. It specifies the protocols and operational procedures that are required for conforming
Interrogator Implementations and Device Management Implementations, as defined in this
document as well as in ISO/IEC 24791-1.

---------------------- Page: 7 ----------------------
ISO/IEC 24791-3:2022(E)
— Performance Monitoring and Diagnostics Conformance Group: this Conformance Group is defined
in Clause 8. It specifies the SNMP MIBs that can be implemented by Interrogator Implementations
and Data Management Implementations as defined in this document as well as in ISO/IEC 24791-1.
Conforming implementations claim conformance to the MODULE_COMPLIANCE statements in the
SNMP MIBs appropriate for the particular implementation.
A conforming implementation has to implement all of the requirements of each Conformance Group for
its particular function in the SSI, but an implementation is not required to claim conformance to either
group.
1.4 RDMP interface set
This document specifies the following device management capabilities in RDMP:
— discovery of devices and hosted services in devices;
— a Firmware Upgrade Service to initialize and manage firmware on devices;
— a Management service to set and get device configuration and to perform specific device operations,
such as reboot;
— a monitoring service to monitor the health of a device using events and statistics.
RDMP interface set is defined in Clause 9.

5 Software system infrastructure architecture overview
ISO/IEC 24791-1 defines the architecture for the software system infrastructure. The basic relationship
among the interfaces and implementations of the software system infrastructure is depicted in Figure 1.
Figure 1 — Architecture overview including relationships to other RFID standards
The parts of the ISO/IEC 24791 series that define Data Management (i.e. ISO/IEC 24791-2), Device
Interface (i.e. ISO/IEC 24791-5), and Device Management (i.e. this document) each provide one or
more interfaces which allow a client to communicate with a service-providing implementation, either
within the same computing device or across a network. These client and service implementations are
consistently referred to as client endpoints and services endpoints, respectively, and in general, the

ISO/IEC 24791-3:2022(E)
client endpoint accesses the capabilities provided by the services endpoint. It is the responsibility of the
specific standard to define the formats, procedures, operations and conformance requirements of each
interface.
Device management is concerned with providing discovery, configuration, initialization, performance
monitoring and diagnostics of software system infrastructure components and interrogators. As
shown in Figure 1, device management defines interfaces that provide pairwise communications
between interrogator implementations, data management implementations and device management
implementations.
In addition to defining interfaces for providing configuration and control of the implementations in the
network, Device Management may also define requirements for basic initial operation of interrogators,
particularly related to initialization in networked environments. This is necessary in order to achieve
the SSI goal of providing scalable deployment and management of large numbers of interrogators in a
system.
Although Figure 1 depicts the Device Management Implementation residing outside of the boundary of
the SSI, the Device Management Implementation may be implemented within any device in a system.
For example, it may reside within a standalone network management application or it may be just one
component within a device that is also providing a Data Management Implementation. It may also be
one component of an application that is also providing the End System Implementation. As with all other
components of the SSI as defined in ISO/IEC 24791-1, the platform on which the standard interfaces
are implemented is not important; it is conformance to the interfaces and procedures defined in the
ISO/IEC 24791 series that is important. Examples of different deployment models of this document are
provided in Annex A.
6 UML modelling
Although Figure 1 provides a general overview of the relationship between the interfaces and
implementations in the SSI, UML is used for the figures in this document to graphically represent the
organization and operation of the device management interfaces and implementations so that a precise
and common understanding of the relationships among the components can be defined.
UML is a very rich language, but for simplicity only the physical diagram subset of the language is used
to represent the architecture of the software system infrastructure. Physical diagrams, comprised of
component diagrams and deployment diagrams, represent the relationships among the functions and
the interfaces provided by the SSI architectural elements as well as how these functions can exist in
standards compliant solutions, respectively. Refer to ISO/IEC 24791-1 for a more complete description
of how UML is used in other parts of the ISO/IEC 24791 series.
7 Device management
7.1 Architecture
Device management defines the interface(s) that provide discovery, configuration, initialization,
performance monitoring and diagnostics of software system infrastructure components and
interrogators. Device management also defines a set of standardized operational procedures that must
be executed by conforming devices, typically related to the initial operation of a device in a networked
environment.
Specific device management interface capabilities are provided by a device management services
endpoint. A device management client endpoint accesses the services endpoint in a component that
provides the desired service(s). Figure 2 provides the representation of the device management
interface in a component.

ISO/IEC 24791-3:2022(E)
Figure 2 — Device management representation
The software programs that provide device management client and services endpoints can reside
within any of the Implementations that can exist in the SSI, as shown in Figure 1. This document does
define requirements on how the implementations are developed or packaged within computing or
network platforms; requirements are only defined for the operation that is provided.
Device management is distinct from the data and control interfaces provided by ISO/IEC 24791-5 and
ISO/IEC 24791-2, respectively. It is possible that the implementation of the device management interface
utilizes the same network interface as the implementation of one of the data and/or control interfaces
in the implementation. It is also possible that for a specific operation or interface, a component can
be both a client and services endpoint, essentially resulting in peer-to-peer operation or a negotiated
client/server relationship. This does not change the architecture defined in this document or in
ISO/IEC 24791-1.
The functions covered by device management can be grouped and defined as follows:
— Discovery: the process of automatically finding components and devices in a system as well as
dynamically identifying service endpoints and enabling connections between the components and
services.
— Configuration: the process of setting operational parameters for components that are loaded at
system initialization and that change relativ
