Firmware Update; Serial Emulation - IBC Qscan User Manual

You can update Qscan readers using the ibc Flash Utility found on our website at
http://interbar.com.
Rs232 and Tcp/ip readers can be updated directly through their serial connections.
To update Qscan readers with emulations interfaces you will need to make a cable to
connect the reader to a pc or laptop. The wiring connections are:
Red Power
Blue Ground and DB9 pin 5
Green DB9 pin 2
Yellow DB9 pin 3
Connect Orange and White together
Connect DB9 pins 7 and 8 together
You must connect orange and white together before applying power. This is the
signal to the Qscan reader that you want to start up in a serial mode so that you can
download the new firmware. The reader will start up at 9600 baud, 8 data bits, no
parity.
Besides updating firmware, Qscan readers with an emulations interface can be started
up in the serial mode for the following purposes:
Sending programming commands to the reader
Viewing barcode data through the serial connection.
In case you are having issues with wiegand programming not working and you need
to view what is encoded in a barcode, you can do this with a seial connection using
the wiring pinout described above. Use the terminal mode from any of the ibc utility
software programs to view the data.
