RS-232 Auxiliary Port
RS-232 Auxiliary Port
Note: The aux port cannot be used with RTS/CTS.
As with the host port parameters, the auxiliary terminal's settings (baud rate, parity,
stop bits, and data bits) must be identical with those of the auxiliary device.
Usage:
These commands set the communication parameters with the auxiliary
port which can be used to configure menus, send data to the host, dis-
play data transmissions originating from the host of the reader, and relay
data from other readers set in tandem (daisy chained). If the reader's
host port needs to be dedicated to the host, but configuration must be
done on the fly, the auxiliary port can be set to accept configuration
changes by Command Processing Mode (see
Mode"
on page 6-14).
Definition:
An auxiliary port connects the reader to a remote display or to other
readers that can display or transfer data.
Aux Port Connections
As with the host port parameters, the auxiliary terminal's settings (baud rate, parity,
stop bits, and data bits) must be identical with those of the auxiliary device.
Baud Rate, Aux Port
Usage:
Can be used to transfer data faster or match an auxiliary device.
Definition:
The rate at which the reader and host transfer data back and forth.
Serial Cmd:
<K101,aux port
ID status,daisy chain ID>
Default:
9600
Options:
0 = 600
1 = 1200
2 = 2400
Parity, Aux Port
Usage:
Only changed if necessary to match host setting.
Definition:
An error detection routine in which one data bit in each character is set to
1 or 0 so that the total number of 1 bits in the data field is even or odd.
Serial Cmd:
<K101,aux port mode,baud rate,parity,stop bits,data bits,daisy chain
ID status,daisy chain ID>
Default:
Even
Options:
0 = None
