CLONING FROM READER TO READER

BEFORE YOU START, HAVE THE FOLLOWING EQUIPMENT READY:

A READER CLONE CABLE (with two 9 pin male plugs).

The two readers.

The reader which is to receive the clone information must have

the following configuration settings:

BAUD RATE: must match the configured reader's setting

DATA BITS:

8 bits (the default setting)

Step 1:

Plug one end of the READER CLONE CABLE into the configured

reader (denoted as the "SOURCE" reader). The SOURCE's

connector, located on the rear panel of the reader, is labeled

"HOST".

Step 2:

Plug the other end of the READER CLONE CABLE into the reader

which is to receive the clone information; this reader is denoted as

the "TARGET". The TARGET's connector, located on the rear

panel of the reader, is also labeled "HOST".

Step 3:

From the "SOURCE" reader, scan the START bar code on the

READER SETUP MENU.

Step 4:

Still at the "SOURCE" reader, scan the following "CLONE"

bar code:

CLONE

Step 5:

The "TARGET" reader will beep twice, pause, and beep three

times more, indicating it has received the clone information and is

now configured.

Step 6:

Disconnect the CLONE CABLE from the newly configured

TARGET reader.

Step 7:

For each additional reader to be cloned, connect a TARGET reader

to the source reader and repeat steps 2 through 6.

When cloning is complete, go to the SOURCE reader and scan

EXIT (saving OR ignoring changes) on the READER SETUP

MENU.

Step 9:

Next, disconnect the CLONE CABLE from the SOURCE reader.
