Configuration and Upgrades

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

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.
