PASSword ProteCtIon

To prevent unauthorized programming of the 11-65000 when using a personal computer or terminal, it is necessary to
enter a password at the beginning of every programming session. The default password is “12345”. When you begin
your first programming session, enter “12345” and press the “ENTER” key when the password is requested.
The 11-65000 will automatically logoff after four minutes with no keyboard activity. You will then be required to enter
the password again to access the system. Automatic logoff occurs while in any menu or sub-menu except when
displaying current transactions. It is advisable to exit the system when you are finished by using the “Logoff” selection
of the main menu.

Changing the Password

During this first programming session it is advisable to change the Password. To change the Password, choose 4
(System Settings) from the Main Menu followed by 5 (Password) from the System Settings Menu. The Password may be
up to 16 characters long and may consist of numbers, letters, and symbols. You may change your password at any
time.
It is not necessary to set or use a password when programming your unit with the Program Cards.

resetting the Password

If you should forget your password, you must turn off the power to the unit. Then, while holding the reset button in
(see Figure 1), turn the power back on. This will reset the password to “12345.” Since this process also recalibrates the
TOUCH CARD® reader, be sure there is no magnetism near the reader (i.e., a card) when the password is being reset.
Wait for the red/green flashing LED to time out before putting cards on the TOUCH CARD® reader plate (see Figure
1). This procedure should be done with the unit at average operating temperatures and not in extreme heat or cold.
AUD RATE
The Baud Rate is the speed at which the 11-65000 communicates with the outside world (PC, terminal, or printer). The
default Baud Rate (speed of communication) is 9600. If you wish to change the baud rate, and you do not have a
PC or terminal, the Programming Deck may be used. The allowable Baud Rates are 300, 1200, 2400, 4800, 9600, 19200
and 38400. Note that the serial interface cards in some older PCs are not capable of communicating at Baud Rates
above 9600.

Setting the Baud rate Via the Menu

The Baud Rate of the 11-65000 may be changed via the menu system using a PC or terminal. Once changed, the
new Baud Rate will become effective the next time you log onto the system or connect a printer. To change the
Baud Rate, choose 4 (System Settings) from the Main Menu. Then from the System Settings Menu, choose 6 (Baud
Rate) and select the desired Baud Rate from the Baud Rate Menu.
If you are using SA-NETTM software, be sure to also change the baud rate of the port configuration in the Setup menu.
Choose Configure Location, select a location, select Edit,
then enter the new value in the Baud Rate field and Save the changes. Exit SA-NETTM, then restart the program.

Setting the Baud rate Using Cards

To set the baud rate using Program Cards, place the “*” card on the TOUCH CARD® reader plate and remove it, then
place on the TOUCH CARD® reader plate the sequence of cards representing the baud rate, then place the “SET
TIMER” card on the TOUCH CARD® reader plate and remove it.

Example: Set baud rate to 2400

Place the “*” card on the TOUCH CARD® reader plate and remove it. Then place the “2” card on the TOUCH
CARD® reader plate and remove it, then place the “4” card on the TOUCH CARD® reader plate and remove it,
then place the “0” card on the TOUCH CARD® reader plate and remove it, and again place the “0” card on the
TOUCH CARD® reader plate and remove it. Then place the “SET TIMER” card on the TOUCH CARD® reader plate and
remove it.

reader Id

Each 11-65000 has the capability of being given an ID or Name. This ID is shown on all status reports at the beginning
of the report. If the 11-65000 is connected to a printer, each transaction includes the reader ID. This feature is very
useful when multiple 11-65000 units are connected to the same printer through a Smart Switch.
To set the reader ID, choose 4 (System Settings) from the Main Menu and then 7 (Reader ID) from the System Settings
Menu. The reader ID may be up to 16 characters long and may include numbers, letters, and symbols. If a reader ID
is not desired, use “NONE” for the ID request.
