Manual Datafox ZK-MasterIV
3.3 Commissioning
On delivery the device is already in working order and configured with a demo setup for a TS TMR33-LTM
so that you immediately can test the access control. After having connected the door module via RS485 to
the ZK-MasterIV (see chapter
), you can establish the power supply by plugging in the power supply
unit. The ZK-MasterIV automatically starts booting, recognition of the hardware options and loading
the setups. Because the device has no display, you can only discern the booting by the flushing LEDs.
After having finished booting the device automatically switches to the operating mode (
8
) in figure
and
is "‘ON"’ (
9
) is "‘OFF"’. Now the ZK-MasterIV is ready for use. Only use power supply units with
appropriate power to establish the power supply (see chapter
). Also note the information in figure
On delivery the device is set for a communication via RS232 with 38400 Baud. Because the ZK-MasterIV
has no display, changes that concern the device bios - which includes the change of the communication -
can only be made via the DatafoxStudioIV. You can find further descriptions in chapter
Note:
Before changing the communications read the corresponding paragraph in chap-
ter
3.4 Operation
General guidelines for the operation
Because the ZK-MasterIV has no display, all changes of the configuration of the device can only be made
via a PC with the help of the DatafoxStudioIV. You can find a more detailed description in chapter
3.5 Communications
The ZK-MasterIV has different interfaces for communication (dependent on features and hardware ver-
sion). Thus, peripheral (e.g. bar code- or transponder reader) can be connected to the device or a
communication with the device is possible. Because the device has no display, all configurations have to
be made via the DatafoxStudioIV, see chapter
. For this purpose the device has to be connected to
a PC.
3.5.1 Communication via RS232
3.5.1.1 Requirement
For a communication with a ZK-MasterIV over an RS-232 connection, the device has to be set for this
communication in the system menu-BIOS (see chapter
). Furthermore, baud rate and timeout of
the RS232-interface of the terminal and the PC must be coordinated. Permitted baud rates are 9600,
19200 and 38400. The timeouts have to be between
100
and
2000
. When you select RS232 for
communication the timeout is set on 100 by default.
