1. INTRODUCTION This manual contains information about configuration IS1000 laser reader and decoder present in the radio base. The installation procedures and technical description are described in the IS1000 Installation and User’s Guide. The IS1000 Connection List contains the connection numbers (or ID) and the cable references to be used for Keyboard-Wedge communication on PCs and terminals, for communication with P.O.S. systems and Notebooks. For other types of connections see chap

2. COMMUNICATION MODES The radio base is equipped with a decoder offering a multi-interface communication port. The default communication mode is RS232 (9600 baud, 7 data bits, parity even, 1 stop bit, end message: CR LF). Other communication modes can be selected by using the following sequence: Read the code Start of Configuration bottom left of each page Select the mode of communication Adjust the transmission parameters Read the code End of Configuration bot

2.1.6. Time-Out Between Characters In case that errors are detected using high speed transmissions such as 19200 or 38400 baud and if two stop bits are already set, a time-out can be inserted between each character for a better synchronization: 10 ms 0 ms * 20 ms 50 ms 100 ms START OF CONFIGURATION END OF CONFIGURATION IS1000 – Configuration Guide 9

2.1.7. ACK/NAK Protocol Once this protocol is activated, the decoder waits for an acknowledgment from the host system: • ACK (06 hexa) means: message correctly received by the host system. • NAK (15 hexa) means: message incorrectly received by the host, upon reception of this character the decoder resends the message. ACK/NAK ACTIVATED A CK/NAK DISACTIVATED * 2.1.8. XON/XOFF Protocol Using this protocol, the host system can control the data flow coming from the decoder: • XO

2.1.10. PC-Term Mode Some applications use several RS232 terminals connected to a PC host system configured in PC-Term mode. When a character is typed on a keyboard of a terminal, its scan code value is transmitted to the PC instead of its ASCII value. Then, upon reception, the PC sends back the corresponding ASCII character to display on the screen. Therefore, once this mode is activated, the decoder sends the scan code value of each character read. To activate the PC-Term mode, read

2.2. Keyboard-Wedge In this mode the radio base is connected between the keyboard and the computer (or terminal). Data is emulated by the decoder as if it was typed on the keyboard. The default communication mode (factory setting) is RS232, use the codes on this page to activate the Keyboard-Wedge mode and to select the ID corresponding to your computer or terminal: KEYBOARD-WEDGE MODE ACTIVATED Consult the IS1000 Connection List and enter the ID corresponding to your computer or
