Software / Configuration
A monitor program runs in the antenna, to which a connection can be established
with a PC. Depending on the antenna variant, this is done via the serial or USB inter
-
face. In both cases, the monitor program can then be called up via a terminal pro
-
gram on the PC. The monitor program can be used to
check the version of the antenna firmware,
program a transponder and
to carry out a firmware update for some variants.
9.1 Connection to a PC
9.1.1 Via the serial interface (HG G-71450 / HG G-71451 / HG G-71453)
The 5-pin ST 1 connector (see e. g. 3.2.2.1 on page 17) can be used for the variant
of the transponder antenna with serial RS 232 interface to establish a connection to
a PC. A PC with a serial RS232 interface is required. For PCs that do not have a serial
interface, it is recommended to use a USB to RS232 adapter, which is available in
specialized stores.

Connection example RS 232: Connection with the serial interface of a PC
Depending on the variant, the serial interface of the transponder antenna is operated
with the following standard transmission parameters. These must be set, for exam
-
ple, in the terminal program on the PC (see below).
Please note that the transponder antenna may have been changed to different inter
-
face parameters after delivery. In this case, the terminal program must be started
with correspondingly changed parameters.
