3.1 TC1200 CONFIGURATION 
 
TC1200 RS232 models (as well as USB models having the USB-COM Interface selected), 
can be configured using the serial strings contained in this chapter: 
 
 
To configure TC1200 RS232 models by using the configuration strings: 
1) Connect your TC1200 to a PC RS232 port according to the information in chapter 2. 
Set the PC 
serial port to the TC1200 default RS232 communication parameters (see 
Appendix A). 
 
NOTE 
To configure the reader using configuration strings, you must enter Service 
Mode which automatically sets the reader communication to 115200 
baudrate. You must therefore set the host accordingly for RS232 
communications. Upon exiting Service Mode, the programmed baud rate 
will be restored. 
 
2) Using a Terminal Emulation Program, send the Restore Current Interface Default string 
to the reader using the syntax described on the next page.
