Card Reader Diagnostics

7–4 iSTAR eX Installation and Configuration Guide
iSTAR eX firmware provides diagnostic information for:
Readers
Cards
Outputs
Inputs
Serial (RS-232/RS-485) ports
Ethernet ports
Use rotary switch SW1 to activate diagnostic tests. Diagnostic information
displays on the iSTAR eX LCD. You do not have to configure the C•CURE
800/8000 to run diagnostic tests.
Diagnostic tests add overhead to iSTAR eX processing, and may degrade
system performance. When the diagnostic tests are complete, deactivate
the test by resetting SW1 to display status information.
You can display the most recent card data processed by any reader on iSTAR
eX in either fast mode or slow mode.
Fast mode – In this mode, the most recent card swipe data displays on the
LED for approximately one second.
Slow mode – In this mode, the most recent card swipe data displays for
seven seconds.
To set the mode for card reader diagnostics, set the SW1 rotary switch to the
positions shown in Table 7.2.
