1 HOST MODE PROGRAMMING
Host Mode programming allows you to perform a partial configuration of your reading device
as an alternative method to configuration using DL.CODE
™. It consists of substituting or
modifying the Matrix N Family device configurations by sending command strings over one of
the communication channels.
Probably the most useful command is to change configuration jobs from among those saved
in the device memory, directly from the Host.
These strings take the form of command sequences that are specific to each saved
configuration. They can be personalized to make command recognition easier. They are
transmitted from the Host system to the Matrix reader on the following interfaces:
On-board Ethernet TCP/IP interface
Main RS232/RS422 serial interface
Auxiliary RS232 serial interface
In order to send the programming strings, it is necessary to switch the reader into
Host
Mode
.
CAUTION:
DL.CODE must be disconnected from all reader interfaces
before entering in Host Mode.
By entering in Host Mode, any DL.CODE Monitor or X-PRESS connections
to the reader will be closed.
Ethernet Interface
The programming commands and strings can be sent to the reader using the on-board
Ethernet TCP/IP interface. Connect to the device IP address, port number: 1023 (pre-
defined).
Serial Interfaces
The programming commands and strings can be sent to the reader at the programmed baud
rate of the selected serial interface (e.g. if the baud rate of the Auxiliary interface is
programmed at 115200 bps the command must be sent at 115200 bps).
