BLUEBOX CX Industrial UHF
Page 32 of 126
In ‘continuous’ mode the
BLUEBOX
can be configured to obtain the behavior of
a ‘spontaneous’ reader that
will send a message on the RS232/RS485 serial line
(if available) and/or on the Ethernet 10-100M connection (if available), as a TCP
Server or TCP Client (optionally with HTTP POST messages), and/or data bus (if
available) and/or CAN bus (if available) and/or Bluetooth connection (if
available). This feature is enabled (on) / disabled (off) by the switch 2 of the dip
switch SW1 or via communication software.
•
If configured and av
ailable an host can receive the ‘spontaneous’ message
through the RS232/RS485 s
erial port. The ‘spontaneous’ m
essage is sent
only once and no ACK/NAK reply message is implemented, see the
protocol manual for details
. Do not use the ‘spontaneous’ message fe
ature
in a RS485 ‘multipoint’ network to avoid communication errors due to
unmanaged collisions on RS485 bus!
•
If configured and available an host can connect the reader on the
configured TCP server socket and wait for ‘spontaneous’ messages.
The
‘spontaneous’ m
essage is sent only once and no ACK/NAK reply message
is implemented except of the normal TCP handshake mechanism, see the
protocol manual for details.
•
If configured and available an host can wait for an incoming TCP
connection to receive the ‘spontaneous’ messages.
The ‘spontaneous’
message is sent only once and no ACK/NAK reply message is implemented
except of the normal TCP handshake mechanism, see the protocol manual
for details. On a succesful connection there is a fixed inactivity timeout of
120 seconds.
•
If configured and available an host can wait for incoming HTTP POST to
receive ‘spotaneous’ messages. The ‘spontaneous’ message is sent only
once. On a succesful connection there is a fixed inactivity timeout of 120
seconds.
