Transponder Programming and Update of the Internal Software
For the realization of these requirements the antenna has to be set to the monitor
mode, i. e. connect the serial interface of a PC / laptop with the appropriate pins (Rx
and Tx) of the antenna. Then start the terminal program (see below). The interface pa-
rameters have to correspond to those parameters — adjusted by DIP-switches — of the
reading device.
4.1
Terminal program
In the following we refer to the program
HyperTerminal
®
(
Hypertrm.exe
) which is
part of the scope of supply of Microsoft
®
Windows
®
95/98/NT
®
. We apply this program
because many operators use it. Due to the configuration files we supply it is very user-
friendly. It is possible to download the latest version of these files under the following
address

. Enter search term

to find the
files for each single reading antenna (7145x.zip; 7145xxxx.ht).
However, it is possible to apply any other terminal program, provided that it implies
ANSI- emulation. Should you use a different program, please consider the documen-
tation enclosed to this program and adjust it to the values indicated in section 4.1.2.
Please continue on Seite 19 then.
