5.2.5For the PEN Emulation interface, data are sent to the Host in fixed size blocks of 20 characters each. The
These parameters define the valid addresses for the Slave cradles on the network. Valid values are in the range 0 to 1999. However, the maximum number of cradles in a single network is 16, (including the Master if present). All cradles in the system must have different addresses.
To reduce system boot time, it is recommended to number the Slaves consecutively, while it is not necessary that the Master cradle address is contained in the range. The network addresses correspond to the radio addresses, see par. 4.7.
At system
All Slaves must be powered up either before or together with the Master. Slaves successively powered will not be recognized by the system even if their address is in the specified range.
CAUTION
5.3.2Network Warning MessageThe Master cradle can transmit warning messages to the Host regarding some network errors.
/*Slave xxxx not responding*/: when the Master can no longer communicate with the specified Slave previously identified at start up.
/*Frame out of sequence for terminal xxxx*/: if a reader is sending data packets out of sequence. This can happen if there are transmission problems on the network (either connection or communication), or if the reader has correctly transmitted data to a device not on the network (reader configuration error).
