1. Introduction
The transponder reader TWN4 Palon Compact is a device for reading and
writing RFID transponders. There are different versions of TWN4 devices
available, which cover a large range of transponder types both in the
frequency range of 125 kHz and 13.56 MHz.
2. Getting Started
2.1 Cable Connection
In order to start operating a TWN4 Palon Compact transponder reader, it
simply has to be connected to a host.
2.2 Power Up
Once a TWN4 Palon Compact reader is connected to the host, it detects
the type of communications cable (USB or RS232), with which it is
connected to the host.
Additionally, the RS232 is sending a version string via RS232 to the host.
