4.3.3 Serial Port Configuration
You can use the serial port to configure slave addresses, to configure the list
of slaves in the EEPROM or to update the scanner firmware.
When editing from the serial port, slave address changes are recorded in the
slave but not in the EEPROM. Slave parameter changes are sent to the slave
at the time they are made, but they are not saved in EEPROM until the
Save
command is issued.
Exiting the serial port configuration without saving leaves all the address
changes, but any changes made are not stored in EEPROM. Only slaves in the
EEPROM are activated when the AS-Interface enters Protected mode.
4.3.4 Saving to EEPROM
Information is only saved to the EEPROM in two instances:
•
when the configuration in the G file is different than the network
AND the G bit is set
•
when you issue the
Save
command from the serial port

Configuring Slaves
4.4.1 Programming Slaves
Slaves “out of the box” are programmed for address 0. Use one of two
methods to set the module address:
•
Program the address using a handheld programmer before attaching
the slave on the network.
•
Attach the slave to the network and use the AS-i scanner serial port
to change the slave address. Slaves must be attached and addressed
one at a time in this method.
