Assigning SCR Collar with Allflex RS420 Dual Stick Reader in Mobile App
Background
BoviSync customers now use the BoviSync mobile app to scan NFC tags for SCR Transponders. NFC reading allows tags to be assigned simply by scanning with a wand in the barn. NFC readers can provide the number by electronically reading the tag. The NFC reading capability works with an Allflex RS420 Dual Stick Reader.
Instructions
Connecting
Connect the Reader to the device via Bluetooth. The device name should start with "RS420".
Pair the Reader in the BoviSync app (hamburger menu > Settings > EID Readers)
Once you get the blue checkmark next to the Reader name, you are set!
