Cloning F9
The Slot reader possesses the exceptional ability to configure another decoder automatically. This option, known as Cloning, is
extremely useful if you are configuring several decoders with the same setup. With Cloning, you setup the first decoder and copy
its setup to additional decoders.
Lockout Cloned Reader Setup Mode: OFF
This option is used to lock out the setup mode on the cloned reader. Once the reader has been cloned the only method of
changing the setup is by cloning a different setup into the reader, so use this option with caution. This option is useful for
configuring readers to be used in an environment where the setup must not be changed.
Press ENTER To Begin Cloning
Press the Enter key to activate the cloning mode, from this point, all you need to do is unplug the keyboard and plug in the decoder
to be configured. The cloning reader will then copy its settings to the other Slot reader, which will beep when it has been
successfully cloned. Unplug the newly cloned reader and repeat the process with the next reader. Once you have cloned all of the
Slot readers, plug the keyboard back into the cloning reader and press the ESC key to exit Cloning.
Reset All Defaults F10
Reset All Defaults?: YES
Reset All Defaults returns the unit to initial factory settings.
Exiting Setup Mode and Saving Changes
Once you have configured the decoder, press the ESC key until you see the following prompt:
Exit Setup? (Press ENTER): YES
Use the LEFT and RIGHT arrow keys to toggle between YES and NO, and ENTER once you make your selection. If you have
made any changes to any of the settings, the decoder will prompt you to save changes. If you do not save changes, the decoder
will discard all changes and display the following message:
Setup Aborted - Changes Not Saved
If you save changes, the decoder will display a message indicating that all changes were saved.
Note: A faster method of exiting setup mode is to use the ESC key in conjunction with the CTRL and ALT keys. Use CTRL
ESC to exit setup mode and save all changes, and ALT ESC to exit setup mode without saving changes.
