AcroComm Programming Manual
4. Acroprint Terminal Configuration
Each clock is capable of communicating through any of the two ports it has, one is the RS232
found in all clocks; the other is either the RS485 for networks or the internal modem.
4.1. Configuration Through Badge
The program has several variables that are configurable through the Configuration Badge.
These variables are:
Date
Time
Port
The terminal’s identification can be changed through the Configuration Badge. This
badge has a special number and is used only for this purpose. It must have the number
000000000, and it must be a magnetic stripe type of badge to be considered a
configuration badge. When the clock detects this type of badge, the screen will have the
following options:
Select Option
1-Date 2-Ports 3-Readers 4-Test 5-Initialization 6-FIU Reset
To select, the key with the number chosen must be pressed, <Enter> is not required. A
beep will sound to acknowledge the reception of the entry. The program will wait up to
10 seconds to receive an entry. If this does not happen, it will return to normal execution.
