Configuration Modes
The MS5145 Eclipse has three modes of configuration.
• Bar Codes
The Eclipse can be configured by scanning the bar codes located in the
MetroSelect
®
Single-Line Configuration Guide. This manual is available for
download at www.honeywellaidc.com.
• MetroSet
®
2
This user-friendly Windows
®
-based configuration program allows you to
simply ‘point-and-click’ at the desired scanner options. MetroSet2 is
available for download at www.honeywellaidc.com.
• Serial Programming
This mode of configuration is ideal for OEM applications. Serial
programming mode gives the end-user the ability to send a series of
commands using the serial port of the host system. The commands are
equivalent to the numerical values of the bar codes located in the
MetroSelect Single-Line Configuration Guide.
How does Serial Configuration work?
1. Each command sent to the scanner is the ASCII representation of each
numeral in the configuration bar code. The entire numeric string is framed
with an ASCII [stx] and an ASCII [etx].
EXAMPLE #1:
Command for Disabling Codabar
Command = [stx]100104[etx]
String Sent to Scanner = 02h 31h 30h 30h 31h 30h 34h 03h
(All values are hexadecimal).
2. If the command sent to the scanner is valid, the scanner will respond with an
[ack].
3. If the command sent to the scanner in invalid, the scanner will respond with
a [nak].
Note: If this occurs, the end-user must start over at the very beginning of
the configuration sequence. Re-transmitting the invalid command
will not work. The user must start over.
