5.1.2. Diagnostic Mode
When the terminal is in idle mode, after having displayed the time and date on
the display for the first time, press the sequence <IN><OUT><ENTER> and the
terminal will enter into a Diagnostic Mode that allows you to verify the accuracy
of the terminal’s readers. Immediately, the terminal displays the following
information:
I-P-B-N-X-M-S
1-1-3 -1-1 -0-0
This indicates configuration of the terminal as follows:
I: Terminal ID number.
P: Communications port (0:RS232,1:RS485).
B: Transmission speed in baud
(0:1200,1:2400,2:4800,3:9600,4:19200,5:38400).
N: Internal barcode reader (0:not active, 1:active).
X: External barcode reader (0:not active, 1:active).
M: Magnetic stripe reader (0:not active, 1:active).
S: Proximity reader (0:not active, 1:active).
5.1.3. Functions
When the clock reads a badge, it compares the badge number with the
Configuration Badge. If it does coincide, it compares it with the Supervisor
Prefix, then with the Swipe & Go range, and finally it asks for the function
number.
Up to 13 functions may be defined in the system with the parameter FP, and up
to 6 instructions for each function with parameter FL. Each instruction allows the
recollection of one piece of data.
The functions are:
? – Swipe & Go It is automatically executed when the badge number
is within the range defined in the parameter SG.
# – In Mostly used to indicate the start of the workday.
* – Out Mostly used to indicate the end of the workday.
0 – 9 These are used for specific purposes defined by the
user.
In the definition of each function it is specified if the Lockout Assignment Table,
the Access Table, or the Messages to Employees Table must be checked and if
the function is exclusively for supervisor use when it is executed.
Each function can be programmed with 6 instructions. In each instruction 1 piece
of data may be solicited, one message displayed and one sound made.
When a badge is swiped, it looks to see if there is a message for that badge and
determines whether or not to display the message at that moment. If the badge is
not within the Swipe & Go range, the screen will display the following message:
‘Enter Function’
It must be followed by pressing the key required to execute the function. If the
key pressed does not have a function defined or is exclusively for supervisor use
and it is not a supervisor badge accessing the function, it will display the
message ‘NOT AVAILABLE’. If this is not the case, it will execute the
instructions defined for the function. If the function executed indicates to see
