switches, as shown above. The TagMate USB
®
has the ability to create data files
after tag START events as well as READ events depending on the setting of DIP
switch 3. A suitably-equipped (wireless modem) TagMate USB
®
, with DIP switch
set, will automatically transmit data files to an Internet data server (TempTrip

).
Note:
DIP Switch 4 will have an effect even when there is no wireless modem. If in the “up”
position (wireless enabled), file overflow protection is also enabled. This means that a
USB drive must be inserted periodically to clear out the reader’s internal file memory (125
to 500 files, depending on size). Otherwise, when the embedded memory is full, further
tag processing may be prevented.
The backside label on the TagMate USB
®
provides a quick reference for switching
perating modes. A tool is required to set the DIP switches. One simple option is a
fter the next power-up.

mode, as shown below. To switch modes, simply read the appropriate tag prior to
processing T-700 tags. A triple-beep will be followed immediately by a change in the
standby blink pattern. After power-down, the temporary mode change is lost and
the unit will return to the DIP switch controlled mode upon power-up. If running
under AC line power (see next section), simply holding the ToggleTag™ over the
reader will effect the mode change.
