9 Technical supplement – Console commands 9.1 Introduction This chapter describes how to connect the R-PO7470 to a personal computer (PC). The R-PO7470 can be connected to a PC in two ways: the first is a wired USB connection, while the other is a wire less Bluetooth connection (optional). Moreover it describes the console commands implemented in the R-PO7470, in order to remotely control the features and the functions of the reader. 9.2 How to connect the R-PO7470 to a PC through USB Before physically connecting the R-PO7470 to the PC through the USB cable, you first have to install the FTDI’s virtual com port (VCP) driver. This driver is included in the R-PO7470 CD, or can be downloaded from the following link: http://www.ftdichip.com/Drivers/VCP.htm An installation guide is also available at the following link: http://www.ftdichip.com/Documents/InstallGuides.htm Once the driver is installed and the R-PO7470 is connected to the PC through the USB cable you can open a new HyperTerminal (for Windows) session. In the R-PO7470’s CD you can find a pre-programmed HyperTerminal session: copy it to the desktop (or where you prefer) and run it. If you do not have the CD with pre-programmed HyperTerminal session follow the next description. To open a new HyperTerminal session, select the Start menu, then Programs, then Accessories, then Communication and then lunch HyperTerminal. A dialog box appears, input a session name, (i.e. R-PO7470), then press the ok button. Select the COM port assigned to the VCP driver (usually COM2). Input the corresponding BAUD rate: check in the R-PO7470 menu, under set-up menu, which BAUD rate is selected (default is 115200). Select the following options: data bits= 8, parity= none, stop bits= 1, Flow control=none. Press the ok button. At this point the connection starts, but the configuration is not finished yet: stop the communication by selecting disconnect under the menu Call, then select Properties under the menu File. A dialog box appears: select the Settings tab and press the ASCII Setup button. A dialog box appears: select the Echo Typed Characters Locally features. Close the two dialog box by pressing the ok button.
