HOST MODE PROGRAMMING

1 HOST MODE PROGRAMMING
An alternative method of programming the Matrix 210™ devices is by sending programming
strings over one of the serial interfaces.
These strings take the form of ESCAPE sequences and are transmitted from the Host
system to the Matrix reader on the following interfaces:

Auxiliary RS232 serial interface and Main RS232/RS485 serial interface (for Matrix 210
2xx-x0x Serial models and Matrix 210 2xx-x1x Ethernet models)

Ethernet interface (only for Matrix 210 2xx-x1x Ethernet models)

Optional CBX500 Host Interface (Ethernet TCP/IP, Profibus, DeviceNet, etc.).

USB interface (only for Matrix 210 2xx-x2x USB models)
This is called Host Mode programming.
If Host Mode programming is performed over the RS485 half-duplex (polled) main interface,
MUX32 Protocol must be used.
In order to send the programming strings, it is necessary to switch the reader into Host
Mode.
Digital Outputs 1, 2 can be used to indicate when the device is in Host
Mode by setting the related parameter: Activation Events = Host Control
Mode.
NOTE
Warning: VisiSet™ must not be connected to the reader through the selected interface
before entering in Host Mode.
Serial Interfaces
The programming commands and strings must be sent to the reader at the programmed
baud rate of the selected serial interface (e.g. if the baud rate of the Auxiliary interface is
programmed at 9600 bps the command must be sent at 9600 bps).
Ethernet Interface
The programming commands and strings must be sent to the reader at the programmed
baud rate using the dedicated Ethernet System Socket (Port Number: 51235) or the
configured Data Socket (configurable Port Number).
USB Interface
The programming commands and strings must be sent to the reader at the programmed
baud rate of the USB serial interface (e.g. if the baud rate of the Auxiliary interface is
programmed at 921600 bps the command must be sent at 921600 bps).
