SCANTECH ID (Champtek company) Discovery SG-20 - Manual (Page 120)

112 Appendices
However, in order “to get started” with the Discovery, this is a logical route when
migrating from SG-10 to SG-20.
Can the SG-10 be swapped for a SG-20?
Yes, always set the Discovery in SG-10 mode of course, by means of the buttons.
Talking about network mode: Using the old SG-10/DOS driver, this swap can be
done with the same network box. Under WIN NT a new network box (P/N
A361501 or higher) is needed.
Always set the SG-20 for the right terminal address in the network.
H-7 COMPETITIVE COMPATIBILITY
Can the Discovery SG-20 be mixed in a network with other brands of price
checkers?
The Discovery is not directly compatible with other brands of priceheckers,
however they might co-exist next to each other (see next question).
Can the Discovery SG-20 be mixed with any other make of price checker in an
Ethernet-TCP/IP environment?
In principle, yes. The Discovery is uses standard ethernet conventions.
H-8 SETTINGS
What is the Factory Default communication setting of the Discovery?
For units up to (and including) version A360103 it is: RS-485 mode (not-the-last-
terminal-in-the-network) and SG-20 display mode.
For Model A360106 (non-ethernet) it is: RS-485; 9600, 8N2, Echo On RTS/CTS
Off.
Model A360104/5 (or newer ethernet versions): Ethernet; 38.400,8N1, Echo Off,
RTS/CTS on.
Usually on shipping your Discovery is set up with the protocol used in your
environment.
How can the terminal mode and the address be changed (RS-485 or Ethernet)?
Most of the settings can be changed by means of the four buttons.
