Setting parameters
To activate network operation with the MA 21, it may be necessary to set several parame-
ters. For best results use the BCL-Config or IRF-Config software for PCs, programs devel-
oped expressly for this purpose. With the aid of these programs, you can use a fixed data
format via the service interface of the MA 21 to configure the host and client interface.
You can download the config. tool from www.leuze.de -> Download -> Identify for BCL,
RFID, VR etc.
