SYSTEM COMMUNICATION OPTIONS
9
Connections
The DAS-8010 and DAS-8020 have three data connection options available for communicating with a
computer. There are two USB options and a 9-pin RS-232 serial connection for legacy computer system
support. Simply connect to the preferred port and note that the front LED automatically confirms connection.
The DAS-8010 has LED display connection for either Serial USB or Keyboard USB while the DAS-8020
has LED display for the three connection methods. It is best not to have more than one connection being
used at a time to avoid data collision.
SYSTEM NOTE: Although not necessary, BMDS DASHost software is suggested to allow for easy
communication with the computer and associated data collection software. DASHost will allow incoming
data from the reader to be transmitted as keyboard entries. Certain commercial software packages will
have serial COM port interfaces but most generic software such as Microsoft Word and Excel programs
do not.
Serial USB
Serial data output in a USB format is the preferred communication standard for secured data transfer.
Communication requires installation of a serial USB driver. The connected computer will assign a unique
COM port assignment for use with the data collection software. BMDS Custom USB Serial drivers are
provided for use with Microsoft Windows XP through Windows 7. Microsoft Windows 10 has native driver
support and needs no secondary driver installation. If needed, contact BMDS for Windows 8 and 8.1 driver
support.
Keyboard HID USB
Keyboard USB is the suggested connection for standard data transmission. The Keyboard USB or HID USB
requires no driver installation and can be used with any Microsoft Windows OS, Apple MAC OS, Android,
and Linux OS. Data transmission from this connection will appear as standard resulting keystrokes on
any active computer program window. Keyboard USB is therefore the simplest method to communicate
when connected to a computer, it should recognize the connection as a “human interface device” and
automatically configure the connection.
9-Pin RS-232 Serial Port
The DAS-8010 and DAS-8020 has an additional third output communication option. The units are equipped
with a standard RS-232 9-pin serial port. The port is configured for 9600 Baud, 8,1, None, and Flow
On. The settings can be updated by using DASHost to match the settings assigned by your computer
port hardware. RS-232 Serial Port allows for use with some legacy hardware systems that might have
restrictions on USB port access or driver installation limitations.
