Local Device Alternative Network Settings
This parameter allows configuring the device according to the desired layout.
Selections:
Alone or ID-NET
the scanner is in a stand-alone configuration connected to a Host or utilizes an
ID-NET network configuration.
Master RS232
(Type A)
this selection is maintained for backward compatibility. The master
configuration varies according to the types of scanners that will be connected
together in the network as Slaves: TCNM-AD/EX/SP families.
To select this option it is necessary to disable the transmission on the Auxiliary
Serial Port and enable it on the Main Serial Port through the corresponding Data
Tx parameter.
Slave RS232
(TypeA)
this selection is maintained for backward compatibility. The slave configuration
varies according to the types of scanners that will be connected together in the
network as Master: TCNM-AD/EX/SP families.
Network Baud Rate (bps)
This parameter is enabled when the Local Device Alternative Network Settings parameter is set to Alone or ID-NET. It
defines the baud rate for the ID-NET network.
Selections: from
19200
to
1Mb
.
NOTE
In order for the Backup & Restore function to work correctly, when changing the ID-NET network
baud rate, all slaves must be set manually to the new baud rate either through GeniusPlus or
through the slave TCNM-ACBB Backup module rotary switches.
Number of Slaves (Type A)
This parameter is enabled when the Local Device Alternative Network Settings parameter is set to Master RS232 (Type
A). It defines the number of slaves to be connected to the master scanner.
Selections: a number in the range
