Sending Configuration Strings from Host

An alternative configuration method is provided in Appendix A using the RS232
interface. This method is particularly useful when many devices need to be
configured with the same settings. Batch files containing the desired parameter
settings can be prepared to configure devices quickly and easily.

SETUP PROCEDURES

For DRAGON™ D-Series readers, follow the setup procedures in pars. 4.3 and 4.7.
For DRAGON™ M-Series readers, the setup procedures depend on two basic
applications, Stand Alone or STAR-System™.
Stand Alone applications allow communication with the Host by either the
OM-DRAGON™ cradle (par.4.4), or by the STAR-Modem™ radio modem (par.
4.4.2).
STAR-System™ applications allow communication with the Host through an RS485
network by either the STARGATE™ RF base station or by the OM-DRAGON™
cradle (par. 4.5 and 4.6).
Proceed as shown in the following diagram:
