Software Configuration Strings
RS-232 models (as well as USB models with the USB-COM Interface selected) can be
configured using the serial strings contained in this chapter.
To configure RS-232 models by using the configuration strings:
1. Connect your reader to a PC RS-232 port according to the information in Installing the
Interface Cable, starting on page 12. Set the PC serial port to the default RS-232 commu-
nication parameters (see Standard Defaults, starting on page 263).
To configure the reader using configuration strings you must
enter Service Mode, which automatically sets the reader commu-
nication to 115200 baud rate. You must therefore set the host
acc
ordingly for RS-232 communications. Upon exiting Service
Mode, the programmed baud rate will be restored.
2. Using a Terminal Emulation Program, send the Restore Current Interface (Custom)
Default string to the reader using the syntax described on the next page.
3. Send all the necessary command strings accord
ing to your application's requirements.
