2.4.6 Base station
Configuration
The Base station configuration can be performed in two ways: by sending configuration strings
from the Host PC via the RS-232 or USB-COM interface or by reading configuration barcodes
with the Balluff BVS HS-PB reader.
Serial
Configuration By connecting the Base station to a PC through an RS-232 or USB-COM interface cable it is pos-
sible to send configuration strings from the PC to Base station.
Configuration
Barcodes Link the cradle and the reader using the procedures described in the BVS HS-PB or BVS HS-PB
Quick Reference. Once the pairing is complete, you can configure the Base station cradle by
reading configuration barcodes in this manual.
To configure the Base station using the Balluff BVS HS-PB reader models (paired to the cradle
with the Bind command), follow the procedure according to the interface selected.
2.5 Interface
Selection Upon completing the physical connection between the reader and its host, proceed to Table
Available Interfaces on page 24 to select the interface type the reader is connected to (for exam-
ple: RS-232, USB, etc.). Scan the appropriate barcode in that section to configure your system’s
correct interface type.
2.5.1 Setting the
Interface
Scan the programming barcode from this section which selects the appropriate interface type
matching the system the reader will be connected to. Next, proceed to the corresponding section
in this manual (also listed in
Table Available Interfaces on page 24 ) to configure any desired set-
tings and features associated with that interface.
Available Interfaces
NOTE
Unlike some programming features and options, interface selections require
that you scan only one programming barcode label. DO NOT scan an ENTER/
EXIT barcode prior to reading an interface selection barcode.
Some interfaces require the reader to start in the disabled state when powered
up. If additional reader configuration is desired while in this state, pull the trig-
ger and hold it for five seconds. The reader will change to a state that allows
programming with barcodes.
