Communication can be done via an RS-232 direct connection, a 4-wire RS-422 network
configuration. The factory default setting is for network communication via 4-wire RS-422
cabling – switch 3 OFF. Refer to Figure 17-11 for switch ON/OFF positioning.
• For network communication via RS-422 cabling, switch 3 must be OFF.
• For network communication via 2-wire RS-485 cabling, switch 3 must be ON.
• For network communication via RS-232, the switch 3 position does not apply. Leave
switch 3 in the default OFF position.
All Hand Readers in a network must be set to the same communication method. Four-
wire RS-422 cabling is required for HandNet for Windows™ network installations.
Schlage Biometrics does not recommend two-wire RS-485 cabling for new network
installations.
The erase memory function allows a Hand Reader's setup and/or user database to be
erased. The factory default setting (and normal operation setting) is for switches 4 and 5
to be OFF, retaining memory.
Perform the following steps to erase the setup programs but retain the user database.
1. With system power OFF, set switch 4 ON.
2. Turn system power ON and wait 5 seconds.
3. Turn switch 4 OFF.
Perform the following steps to erase both the setup programs and the user database.
1. With system power OFF, set both switches 4 and 5 ON.
2. Turn system power ON and wait 5 seconds.
3. Turn both switches 4 and 5 OFF.
Before putting the hand reader into service ensure DIP switches 4 and 5 are both OFF. If
switches 4 and 5 are not off, the next time the Hand Reader's power is cycled the Hand
Reader's memory will be erased.
