Programming the Lattice System

First Time Operation

When the L1000 is powered up the display momentarily displays the firmware revision number.
Once powered up, the display flashes a single bar of the centre 7-segment display every 2 or 3 seconds
to indicate that the unit is in normal run mode. In a dark room it also acts as a means of locating the reader.
The display typically shows the following:
Present and remove any tag which is to be defined as the "Master" tag. This tag now becomes the
"Admin" tag. "Ad1" will be displayed to indicate that this "Admin" tag is being presented to the L1000
reader. It is possible to create multiple "Admin" tags as will be shown later.
Any other "unlearned" tags presented to the system will display NIC (NOT IN CONTROLLER) as
follows:

Programming the System

The system can be completely programmed from the L1000 Controller using a single "Admin" tag and
the 3 digit, 7-segment LED display. (Incidentally, it is easier to programme, and more functionality is
provided, if the Lattice-Ware software is used. See separate, optional Lattice-Ware software).
When the system comes from the factory there are no tags learned into memory. The first
tag presented becomes known as the "Admin" tag. This tag can be thought of as a type
of "master" tag, but it is termed the "Admin" tag due to the fact that system administra-
tion is done using this tag. Administration involves adding and deleting tags, modifying
reader settings, etc.

"Admin" tag
The "Admin" tag, shown in this documentation as a tag with a spanner symbol (See
Figure 14), has the following characteristics
The "Admin" tag is the "Master Key" to the system and must be looked after
carefully. Without it , programming cannot be done on the system.
The "Admin" tag is automatically learned into ID reference number 000
The first tag presented to a completely blank L1000 becomes the "Admin"
tag.
By default, when presented to the L1000 head the display will indicate "Ad1".
This is an indication that this tag has been learned into the system, but is not
