Configuring the Encompass 4 Reader
This chapter provides instructions for configuring the Encompass
®
4 Reader, including factory configuration parameter defaults and
instructions for using terminal emulation software to check and change
the Encompass 4 Reader factory configuration defaults.
Configuring the Reader
After installing the Encompass 4 Reader, you need to configure its operating parame-
ters. Terminal settings should be initially set at 9600 baud, 8 data bits,
no parity, 1 stop
bit, and no flow control.
General Configuration Labeling
Each Encompass 4 Reader and its shipping carton are labeled to indicate the unit’s
general configuration. Table 8-1 contains explanations of the Encompass 4 Reader
label fields.

Field Description
1st TransCore reader designator
2nd Model number
40 = 915 MHz frequency band
3rd Interface
xy
where
x = 0 (integrated antenna); x = 1 (external antenna)
y = 2 (RS
–232 and Wiegand); y = 4 (RS–422 and Wiegand)
4th 0nn
where
nn = tag protocol(s). Protocol designators are as follows:
001 = Super eGo
®
(SeGo) protocol
002 = ATA/SeGo protocols
003 = eGo/SeGo protocols
004 = SeGo/Inter-Agency Group (IAG) protocols
008 = ATA protocol
009 = eGo/ATA protocols
010 = ATA/IAG protocols
019 = IAG protocol
As an example, a label reading 10-4002-004 indicates that this 915-MHz Encompass 4
