Typically, HandReader networks link to a PC using an RS-422 connection. These
networks have the following requirements.
• Two twisted pair, shielded, AWG 22 wire or larger should be used (Schlage Biometrics
recommends Belden No. 82723 or equivalent cable).
• HandReaders must be wired together in a "daisy chain" network from HandReader to
HandReader and then to the host PC. The total length of the wiring must not exceed
4,000 feet per network.
• The network requires an RS-422 to RS-232 converter (Schlage Biometrics P/N DC-
102) at the PC.
Schlage Biometrics' optional HandNet for Windows™ software allows programming of
most of the remote HandReader setups from the computer. However, each HandReader
on the network requires the setting of an address. HandReader addresses may be
repeated, but only on different sites. Display language, date format changes, and the
communication mode must also be set at the HandReader.
An optional, internal "answer only" 14.4 bps modem is available for HandReaders. This
modem is designed for operation with United States phone systems. Site wiring should
conform to standard telephone wiring standards and terminate at the HandReader with
a standard RJ-11 modular phone jack. Each HandReader with a modem includes a 6'
modem cable for the final connection between the phone jack and the HandReader
modem. Modem HandReaders may be networked with up to 31 non-modem
HandReaders using RS-422 wiring. Refer to the Modem Application Note (available from
Schlage Biometrics) for detailed information.
The HandReader is available with an optional, internal Ethernet communications module
for TCP/IP communications. The wiring must conform to 10BaseT standards. Typically,
network wiring terminates at the HandReader with a standard RJ-45 modular jack.
The cable from the jack to the HandReader is not provided with the Ethernet option.
The IP address, Gateway, and Host Bits are entered at the HandReader in the SET
SERIAL menu. Ethernet HandReaders may be networked with up to 31 non-Ethernet
HandReaders using RS-422 twisted pair cable. Refer to the Ethernet Application Note
(available from Schlage Biometrics) for detailed information.
You can connect a serial printer to a HandReader. A printer connected to the master
HandReader (in a master-remote application) will print every event as it occurs. A
printer connected to a remote HandReader will print only the events that occur at that
HandReader. Schlage Biometrics Inc. does not supply serial printers. Refer to the Printer
String Application Note (available from Schlage Biometrics) for detailed information.
