See ASCII Table in appendix C. For special keys or some non-printable characters, the ASCII symbol for the character name is shown between angular brackets. Example: means the ESC key character byte means the start transmission character byte For non-printable characters, the decimal value of the character byte is shown between angular brackets. Example: = Carriage Return character byte, Line Feed character byte For special commands, the hexadecimal value of the character byte is shown between angular brackets. These commands show the value with an H subscript. Example: 10 = Parameter depth #10 The following representations using these three methods are equivalent: = = and each send character byte 0x1B to the reader The program used to generate the strings for Host Mode Programming must be able to manage them correctly. HOST MODE PROGRAMMING 1 1 1 HOST MODE PROGRAMMING An alternative method of programming the Matrix 300 devices is by sending programming strings over one of the serial interfaces. These strings take the form of ESCAPE sequences and are transmitted from the Host system to the Matrix reader on the following interfaces: Auxiliary RS232 serial interface and Main RS232/RS422 serial interface Ethernet interface Optional CBX500 Host Interface (Ethernet TCP/IP, Profibus, DeviceNet, etc.). This is called Host Mode programming. In order to send the programming strings, it is necessary to switch the reader into Host Mode. NOTE Digital Outputs 1, 2, 3 can be used to indicate when the device is in Host Mode by setting the related parameter: Activation Events = Host Control Mode. WARNING VisiSet must not be connected to the reader through the selected interface before entering in Host Mode. Serial Interfaces The programming commands and strings must be sent to the reader at the programmed baud rate of the selected serial interface (e.g. if the baud rate of the Auxiliary interface is programmed at 9600 bps the command must be sent at 9600 bps). Ethernet Interface The programming commands and strings must be sent to the reader at the programmed baud rate using the dedicated Ethernet System Socket (Port Number: 51235) or the configured Data Socket Port Number (configurable Port Number).
