5.8.2 Power-Off Timeout
If this command is enabled, after the desired timeout in hours, the DRAGON™
batteries are disconnected and all power consumption ceases. To restore power,
press the trigger once. The reader will now be ready to read codes.
Power-off does not effect configuration parameters.
5.8.3 Transmission Mode
This parameter determines whether the reader receives responses or messages from
the Host or not. In One-Way tx mode, neither Host nor cradle responds to the reader.
In Two-Way tx mode, the reader must
receive a response from either the cradle or
the Host.
The cradle responds (empty message) to the reader, only after good transmission to
the Host, for the following conditions: ACK/NACK enabled, see par. 5.1.2; WEDGE or
PEN interface. For these conditions, it is suggested to prolong the Radio Protocol
Timeout, see par. 5.8.1.
Enabling Two-Way tx mode temporarily disables FIFO buffering see par. 5.1.3.
With ACK/NACK disabled, the Host responds to the reader (through the cradle) with
an answer message (message to reader display or command to reader), see par. 6.1
and the following figure.
