Installing ACT

The Autonomous Configuration Tool is available for 32-bit and 64-bit Linux and Windows.

The executables for all are available in the Auto-config zip package available on the
ThingMagic website http://rfid.thingmagic.com/devkit.

Required Software

ACT requires Java runtime engine (JRE) version 1.8 or later.

W A R N I N G !

There is a JRE regression (https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8055875)
introduced in Java 1.8.20 (currently not fixed as of version 1.8.25) which can
cause ACT to crash.
Until it is fixed, for stable operation we recommend using Java version 1.8.11.
