8.1 How can I update the firmware of a GAT Access 6100?
By using the software "GAT Config Manager" (see 7. Updating the GAT ACCESS 6100).
8.2 How do I configure a GAT Access 6100?
The GAT Access 6100 can be configured in different ways:
a) Directly at the device while the terminal is in Serivce mode (see "4.2 System Settings").
Note: Only system settings can be defined this way. The functionality settings are only defined like described in
the next step b).
b) Using the PC software "GAT Config Manager". This is done in three steps:
1. Starting the device configuration wizard.
2. Selecting the type of connection (TCP/IP) with the following parameters:
- Entering the IP address of the terminal
- Port number = 8208
3. Start the configuration by pressing the button "Start configuration".
- In case the DHCP status is changed from "OFF" to "ON", the GAT Access 6100 will perform a reset.
- If a relay has the function "External Locking", the relay "OnTime" is deactivated.
Note: The configuration with GAT Config Manager is described in chapter "4.3. Configuration Settings".
8.2.1 How do I activate service mode?
In service mode, the system settings (communication parameters, time and date, etc.) of a GAT Access 6100 can
be changed directly at the terminal. To enter service mode, perform the following steps:
a) Switch-off power and reconnect to power. The terminal will be reset and start-up.
b) Wait until the first line on the display shows "Settings".
c) Press the function keys of the GAT Access 6100 in the following sequence: 1 - 1 - 4 - 4 - 2 - 3. The service
menu will be shown on the display.
