13.1 Getting Started
To test and interface the Dual ISO Module, you do not need a sophisticated µP
development system. All you need is a PC, a connection cable and a power supply
for the reader. If you are using Microsoft Windows (95/98/NT/ ), take the following
steps:
Make sure, that your reader has an RS232 interface
Start HyperTerminal
Create a new connection (FILE/NEW CONNECTION)
Enter a name for the connection (i.e. MIFARE )
Select connect COM2 (COM1) direct connection
Connection setup 9600,8,n,1,no handshake
Connect your reader to COM2 (COM1) of the PC and apply appropriate
supply voltage. The reader transmits a string ( MultiISO 1.0 ) to the PC.
This string denotes the firmware provided with your reader module
Put a tag to your reader. Serial numbers should be displayed properly
Enter commands via keyboard. They should be transmitted to the reader and
the reader should reply
If using an operating system different from Microsoft Windows, you may use any
other terminal program that is capable of receiving/transmitting data via the serial
port of your PC.
13.2 How should the Multi ISO Reader be personalized?
In ASCII protocol applications, no personalization is necessary.
In applications that are using the binary protocol mode, personalization is required.
Use the Utility program to set up your reader correctly. Ask the reseller or the ACG ID
sales representative for the Utility software or download it from http://www.acg.de.
Minimum requirements are WIN98SE, WIN 2000, WIN XP and a free COM port on
the PC.
