WARNING

5.2 AUTOMATIC SCANNER REPLACEMENT

Principally used for PackTrack configurations, the ASR procedure allows restoring system
functioning automatically after one or more Slave scanners are replaced in a Master/Slave
Lonworks network.
1. When the Modify Scanner Configuration parameter in Genius™ is checked , you
can configure the Lonworks Slave Scanner Common Parameters (Code and
Reconstruction Parameters), through the Master. By configuring the Slave scanners
through the Master, the Automatic Scanner Replacement procedure (ASR) is
implemented.
2. After system configuration through the Master, Send the configuration with
Environmental parameters to the Master EEPROM . The Master will force the
Slaves Operating Mode and Code Reading Symbologies and store all the Slave
PackTrack calibration tables.
By Saving this configuration to file (.ddc), the Master scanner can be
replaced if necessary. To replace the Master, first load the saved
configuration from file to the new Master. Then replace the Master.
NOTE
Slave Scanner Replacement
A. Power down the entire system.
B. Replace the Slave scanner with a new one (default settings).
C. Power up the system and wait for initialization.
