Starting the Terminal Emulation Software
You can use a PC and any terminal emulation software to enter the host commands to download flash
software, configure reader operating parameters, perform diagnostics, and retrieve tag data.
To start the terminal emulation software
At the command prompt, type your terminal emulation start command and press
ENTER.
The application should display a connection description dialog box.
3. Enter a name for the session and click OK. The application should display a phone number dialog
box.
4. Choose the Com 1 option or whichever com port on the PC to which the RS–232 cable is attached.
5. Use the following values:
•
Bits per second: 9600 baud
•
Data bits: 8
•
Parity: None
•
Stop bits: 1
•
Software flow control: None
Verifying Communications
You must verify that the MPRX and the PC or laptop are communicating.
To verify communications
1. Start the terminal emulation application as described in
”Starting the Terminal Emulation Software”
Note:
When testing the MPRX using a laptop computer, TransCore recommends that you configure
laptop communication parameters to match those of the host device to which the MPRX will be
connected after testing and configuration are completed.
2. Cycle the power on the MPRX. Upon startup, the MPRX transmits a sign-on message displayed on
the terminal emulation screen, or a boot ROM failure message.
The sign-on message appears as follows at a baud rate of 9600 bps:
Model [software version] SNSSSSSS [Copyright notice]
where
SSSSSS
is the serial number assigned to the MPRX skipping the fourth character printed
on the reader product label.
Serial number
000000
is the default setting and is not a valid number. If this number appears
in the sign-on message, the serial number has not been stored into reader memory. Contact
TransCore Technical Support.
If the flash memory checksum is not verifiable, the sign-on message appears as follows:
Model [E4 BOOT] Ver 0.00 A
