Activate TTL output when alarm
code received from Panic or
Tamper Tag.
Diagnostic Mode
Diagnostic Mode allows you to troubleshoot the ActiveTag system by
displaying all data received from all Tag broadcasts picked up by the
Receiver -- including Tag data with Activator IDs that have not been
programmed into the Receiver.
To enter Diagnostic Mode, type:

The following is an example of how the Receiver will respond:

Where

are the IDs of Tags in the field. If the
serial output has been set to short format, then the Receiver ID will
not be displayed.
Diagnostic Outputs
The Receiver will output every Tag transmission that it receives,
whether or not the Tag data contained a valid Activator ID.
IMPORTANT!
Do not use Diagnostic Mode as the standard Receiver
output to interface with your software. Diagnostic Mode allows cross-
talk – Receivers will output data for Tags awakened by any 132 kHz
signal – all Activators, any interference, etc.
Code 254
In some earlier tag versions, code 254 is broadcast in place of an
Activator ID to indicate that a Tag was activated by a valid activation
field -- but could not to determine the Activator’s ID number. By
default, later tag versionsare not programmed to transmit a 254 code.
Wiegand Output
While a Receiver sends Tag data to HyperTerminal as rapidly as it’s
received, it will still buffer the data being sent to the Wiegand control
panel. When a Receiver that has been configured to output Wiegand
data is in Diagnostic Mode, all Tag information is sent to the control
panel. Therefore, it’s recommended Wiegand output be disabled --
or, disconnect the Wiegand terminal when in
Diagnostics
mode.
