Diagnostic Mode
Diagnostic Mode allows you to troubleshoot the ActiveTag system by
displaying all data received from all Tag broadcasts picked up by the
Receiver – including Tag data with Activator IDs that have not been
programmed into the Receiver.
To enter Diagnostic Mode, type 39c.
An example of how the Receiver will respond:
0 0 1 1 0 6 0 2 4 0 1 2 3 4
001 = Receiver ID
106 = Activator ID
024 = Site Code
01234 = ID of Tag in the field
Diagnostic Outputs
The Network Receiver will output every Tag transmission that it
receives, whether or not the Tag data contains a valid Activator ID.
IMPORTANT! Do not use Diagnostic Mode as the standard Network
Receiver output to interface with your software. Diagnostic Mode allows
cross-talk – Receivers will output data for Tags awakened by any 132 kHz
Activator signal.
Wiegand Output
While a Network Receiver sends Tag data to HyperTerminal as rapidly
as it’s received, it will still buffer the data being sent to the Wiegand
control panel. When a Network Receiver that has been configured to
output Wiegand data is in Diagnostic Mode, all Tag information is
sent to the control panel. Therefore, it’s recommended Wiegand
output be disabled – or, disconnect the Wiegand terminal when in
Diagnostics Mode. To exit Diagnostics Mode, type: 22c
IMPORTANT! Always turn off Diagnostic Mode when finished. Failure to do
so can result in cross-talk, garbled output and erratic system performance .
