4.1.4 Sending Configuration Strings from Host
An alternative configuration method is provided in Appendix A using the RS-232
interface. This method is particularly useful when many devices need to be
configured with the same settings. Batch files containing the desired parameter
settings can be prepared to configure devices quickly and easily.
4.2 SETUP PROCEDURES
For PowerScan
® D8330 Series readers, follow the setup procedures in pars. 4.3, and
4.8.
For PowerScan ® M8300 Series readers, the setup procedures depend on two basic
applications, Stand-alone or STAR-System™.
Stand-alone applications allow communication with the Host by either the BC-80X0
cradle (par. 4.5), or by the STAR-Modem™ radio modem (par. 4.5.2).
STAR-System™ applications allow communication with the Host through an
RS-485 network by the STARGATE™ RF base station or by the BC-8000 cradle
(par. 4.6 and par. 4.7).
Proceed as shown in the following diagram:
