Daisy Chain Autoconfigure - Microscan MS-890 User Manual

Daisy Chain Autoconfigure

Note: This command is not available in ESP.
Usage:
For quick setup and configuration of the daisy chain network.
Definition:
Daisy Chain Autoconfigure is issued to the master scanner in the daisy
chain and the software responds as follows:
• Counts the number of secondary scanners in the daisy chain.
• Assigns an internal ID number (1...n) to each secondary scanner, where
the first secondary scanner is number 1 (and its own ID being a 0).
• Propagates the communications settings and the relevant operating
modes of the master scanner to the host and auxiliary ports of each
secondary scanner.
• Resets each secondary scanner.
• Verifies that each secondary scanner has acquired the new settings.
