2.4 Software Configuration
The Texas Instruments utility "S2_Util.exe", which is available at www.ti-rfid.com, can be used to configure
the Series 2000 Control Module according to the customers application specific requirements concerning:
• Communication protocol
• Communication parameters
• Default read mode
• RF Module parameters
• Synchronization type
• Default I/O settings
Dip-switch S1 (S1.1) determines the mode of operation of the Control Module. If Dip-switch S1.1 is in the
OFF position, standard default parameters are used. These are:
• RI-CTL-MB2B
– ASCII protocol
– 9600 baud, eight databits, no parity, one stop bit, Xon/Xoff enabled
– Normal mode
– RF module power RFM-007 (also valid for RFM-008)
– Wireless synchronization
– I/O 0 to 3 defined as input
– I/O 4 to 7 defined as output and logic high
– Hardware interface RS-232
• RI-CTL-MB6B
– ASCII protocol
– 9600 baud, eight databits, no parity, one stop bit, Xon/Xoff enabled
– Normal mode
– RF module power RFM-007 (also valid for RFM-008)
– Wireles synchronization
– I/O 0 to 3 defined as input
– I/O 4 to 7 defined as output and logic high
– Hardware interface RS-422
If Dip-switch S1.1 is in the ON position, customer specific default parameters are used to operate the
Control Module. These application specific parameters are stored in serial EEPROM on the Control
Module.
Note: Dip-Switch S1.1 is checked at power-up, after a software RESET and during operation.
Configuration changes will become active as soon as the switch is moved.
To enable the customer specific parameters to be changed the Control Module can be configured either
via a communications port or via the USB service port. Connect one of these ports to the Host and get
connection using the standard reader settings by switching S1.1 to the OFF position. Change the default
parameters to customer parameters and save them. Then after moving Dip-switch S1.1 to the ON
position, the Control Module will work with the customer specific parameters.
For details regarding the communication protocol (ASCII or TBP), please refer to the ASCII Protocol or
TIRIS Bus Protocol Reference Guides which are available at Texas Instruments’ RFID internet site:
