Communications
RS-232 Auxiliary Port
The auxiliary port offers an alternative port that can be configured to communication in
RS-232 in several modes including daisy chain.
Aux Port Connections
As with the host port parameters, the auxiliary port settings (baud rate, parity, stop bits,
and data bits) must be identical with those of the auxiliary device.
Note: Aux port connections are not available when Ethernet is enabled.
Baud Rate, Aux Port
Parity, Aux Port
Usage:
An auxiliary port connects the reader to a remote display or to other readers
that can display or transfer data.
Definition:
These commands set the communication parameters with the auxiliary port
which can be used to configure menus, send data to the host, display data
transmissions originating from the host of the reader, and relay data from
other readers set in tandem (daisy chained).
Usage: Can be used to transfer data faster or match an auxiliary device.
Definition: The rate at which the reader and host transfer data back and forth.
Serial Cmd:
< K101, aux port mode, baud rate ,parity,stop bits,data bits,daisy chain ID
status,daisy chain ID>
Default: 115.2K
Options:
0 = 600 1 = 1200 2 = 2400
3 = 4800 4 = 9600 5 = 19.2K
6 = 38.4 K 7 = 57.6K 8 = 115.2K
Usage: Only changed if necessary to match host setting.
Definition:
An error detection routine in which one data bit in each character is set
to 1 or 0 so that the total number of 1 bits in the data field is even or odd.
Serial Cmd:
< K101, aux port mode,baud rate, parity ,stop bits,data bits,daisy chain ID
status,daisy chain ID>
Default: None
Options: 0 = None 1 = Even 2 = Odd
