ClassNet Terminal User Manual

Display Codes and Messages 

When a ClassNet Terminal is turned on, it displays the 

ASP

 signon 

message, then 

F-nn

 where 

nn

 is the firmware revision number, then 

U-nn

 where 

nn

 is the network ID number of the ClassNet Terminal. 

While the ClassNet Terminal is operating normally (ie it’s displaying the 
time), if you press the hidden button then release it, the number of scans 
stored in memory since the last download is displayed.  If you press the 
hidden button and hold it down, the number of scans, the network 
number and the firmware revision number are displayed in sequence until 
the button is released. 

If you press the hidden button and then read a TimeTag while you are 
still holding the button down, the ClassNet Terminal enters the Network 
ID Setting mode. 

Listed below are the various messages that may be displayed on the 
ClassNet Terminal, along with a brief explanation of what they mean: 

ASP 

This is what ClassNet Terminal displays at power up. 

CARD 

A barcode has been scanned. 

TAG 

An IDTag tag has been read. 

Stop 

This barcode or IDTag has already been read since the last download, 
and therefore has not been stored again. 

POLL 

Data is being retrieved from the ClassNet Terminal.  Wait until the 
time display returns before using the terminal. 

CLR 

The download has finished, storage memory has been cleared, and 
the internal clock has been synchronised. 

SET 

The internal clock has been set using a TimeTag. 

DONE 

A DataTag download is finished. 

FULL 

Storage memory is full.  You must download the stored data before 
you can make further scans. 

LOAD 

The DataTag that you’re downloading data into is full.  You should 
take this tag back to a PC and retrieve the data from it. 

U-nn 

Shows the current network ID number (nn can be a number from 01 
to 98), or allows the network number to be set. 

F-nn 

Shows the version of the firmware loaded into the terminal (where 
nn is the version number). 

ERR1 

This message signals that an internal error has occurred – the main 
CPU is not functioning correctly. 

ERR2 

At power up, the storage memory area was found to be invalid, and 
has therefore been cleared and initialised. 

ERR8 

You were downloading data into a DataTag, and the DataTag was 
removed before downloading was completed.  You should put the 
DataTag back to continue the download. 

ERR9 

The DataTag that you’re trying to download data into is not 
formatted correctly.
