Configuration Menu
4.1 Introduction
The LRP76 contains a configuration program in EEPROM memory for
defining the data format and serial protocol. After the LRP76 has been
powered, it pauses for seven seconds waiting for the command to
enter the configuration program. The communication parameters
during this seven second period are:
9600 baud
8 data bits
•No parity
1 stop bit
Use a terminal emulation program (such as EC or HyperTerminal) to
send a <control D> within this seven second period to initialize the
Configuration Menu. If the LRP76 does not receive a <control D>, it
will go "online" with the existing user-defined settings.
4.1.1 Using the EC Program
The terminal emulation program, EC.EXE, is recommended for
LRP76/Host communications. It can be downloaded from Escort
Memory Systems Web site (www.ems-rfid.com). Unlike many other
terminal emulation programs, EC.EXE can transfer binary data in
ASCII hex-based format, as required by the LRP76 commands.
The.HEX file downloads to the LRP are in Intel Hex format.
