Relay Configuration

The relay port brings out the three relay connections at (common, normally open, normally closed) +18 VDC,
and ground. The common can optionally be connected to Pin 5 to provide an on board voltage source. The
current draw should not exceed 100mA. This +18 VDC source is useful when driving external buzzers, lamps, or
other low current, low voltage devices or a larger external relay, since it requires no external power source.

The Relay Output configuration supports both sourcing and non-sourcing. The Relay is a Form C contact relay
rated for 1 amp @ 30V AC/DC.

Genus WiFi

The 3046 WiFi Module provides wireless network connectivity for the CMI Genus series terminals. The WiFi
Module functions as an Ethernet to Wireless LAN bridge and connects to the Genus terminal’s RJ-45 Ethernet
port. The WiFi Module will provide a seamless connection to an 802.11b compliant Access Point (AP) that is within
range. This WiFi Module is compliant with the IEEE 802.11b standard and provides security and encryption
functions for a secure and reliable network.

This section of the document describes the Genus WiFi setup. It also provides troubleshooting information and a
Code 39 barcode table to assist in the setup of the Module using a digital barcode wand. This provides easy access
to special characters that are not available on the Genus terminal keypad, but may be required for SSID, WEP
Keys, and other security parameters.

Please note that the WiFi Module may be referred to as “Module” within this section of the document.

Genus WiFi Configuration/Setup

WiFi Module

The WiFi Modules are shipped with DHCP disabled, and all security modes turned off. If the Module successfully
associates with an access point, the Link and Power LEDs will be green. If the Module is unable to associate with
an access point, the Link LED will blink red and the Power LED will be green in color.

IP Addresses

There are two IP Addresses involved in the WiFi configuration. The WiFi Module and the Terminal each have a
unique IP.

WiFi Module - Fallback

If DHCP is enabled and the WiFi Module has been powered up for 60 seconds without being able to associate with
an access point, the Module will fallback to the following settings:

When the Module reaches the 60 second timeout, it will revert back to the fallback settings. The Power LED will
change from amber to green and the Link LED will continue to blink red.

Genus Terminal

The Genus terminal must also have a valid IP address (Terminal DHCP turned off) in which the first three octets
are 192.168.0.XXX, otherwise the Terminal will not be able to communicate with the WiFi Module installed.
Change the IP address on the WiFi Module first. Note that the terminal will “hang” if on a different sub-net.

DHCP and WiFi Module setup

Upon entering setup mode the user is given the option to enable (Yes) or disable (No) DHCP for the WiFi Module.
If DHCP is disabled, the Terminal will prompt the user to enter network settings for the Module. These settings
are stored by the Terminal allowing it to be able to go back into setup again as needed. If DHCP is enabled, and

the Module is assigned an IP address by the DHCP server, the Terminal will not know the Module’s IP setting and

will not be able to go into setup.

However, the need to go back into setup once the Module associates with an access point and is running is
unlikely. If there is a need to go into setup, the access point would have to be powered down or the Terminal
would have to be moved out of range. After 60 seconds, the WiFi Module will revert back to its fallback settings
and the user will be able to go into setup.

Revision C November 2016 34

Genus G1 MARK II User Manual

SETTING UP WIFI

The Genus terminal needs to be in the Offline mode to get to the WiFi setup.

Enable DHCP: No – disables DHCP and requires the user to enter network parameters. Yes – enables DHCP and
the network parameters are assigned by the DHCP server.

With DHCP disabled the Terminal will prompt for network settings: Subnet Mask, Gateway IP, Primary DNS and
Secondary DNS. Enter these values using the 0-9 keys on the terminal.

IP: This is the IP address of the WiFi Module.

Note: To communicate to the Terminal you need to use the Terminal IP, which is assigned through the Network
Setup menu.

SSID: The default value for the SSID is “any”. The SSID can be up to 31 characters. This controls which AP the

Module connects to. If using a digital wand refer to the Code 39 Programming Table in this document.

Note: The SSID is case sensitive.

Security Type: The default is set to disabled. However, the Module provides, wep64, wep128, wpa-psk, options.

See WiFi Module Security Settings, in this manual.

Save Changes? Changes saved by ‘E’ will be saved to the WiFi Module. ‘H’ aborts the setup changes placing the

user at the first prompt for DHCP enable/disable.

WiFi Module Fallback Settings

Fallback mode can occur when the WiFi module is unable to associate with an access point after 60 seconds.
When fallback occurs the Terminal recognizes the fallback settings and will allow a setup session to change the
WiFi parameters.

WiFi Module Fallback LED Indication

The LEDs on the Module revert to the Power LED, changing from amber to green, and the Link LED will continue
to blink red.

Enable DHCP: If fallback has occurred, choosing Yes while in WiFi Network Setup will bring up the FALLBACK
SETTINGS prompt. If Yes is entered, the fallback settings stored in the Module become available to change. If No,
the Module returns to the SSID prompt.

Fallback IP: Default is 192.168.000.068

Fallback Subnet: Default is 255.255.255.0

Fallback Gateway: Default is 000.000.000.000

WiFi Module Security Settings

The WiFi Module provides security setting options. The WiFi Module default for the security settings is set to
disabled. This provides the user with the option to choose a security type and allows corresponding fields to be
available to enter settings for that security type.

Scroll through the security types, wep64, wep128, wpa-psk, and disable. Press E to choose.

WPA-PSK refers to Pre-Shared Key used in Authentication. This is a shared key between the station and the access
point (AP) and is entered as a passphrase. Input is 8 to 63 ASCII characters or 64 hex characters that cannot
contain spaces. The passphrase must match the passphrase on the AP. When the passphrase has been entered
use either ‘E’ to Save or ‘H’ to Abort. If using a digital wand, refer to the Code 39 Programming Table in this
document.

Note: The G1 Terminal requires the exact number of hex characters for WEP key values to advance to the next

parameter setting.

WEP64 refers to 64-bit key length assigned to the WiFi Module that must match the access point on the network.

The WEP Authentication type can be configured for auto, open or shared. Auto is the default and will
automatically detect the authentication. Open authenticates using open Key algorithm, and will communicate the
key across the network. Shared authenticates using Shared Key algorithm, and will allow communication only
with devices with identical WEP settings.

The Default Key option must match the key index configured on the Access Point. The options are 1, 2, 3, 4, with
the default set to 1.

There are four WEP Key input areas to add the ASCII HEX values. These correspond to the numbers as chosen
through the default key above. WEP 64 requires 10 hex digits. Default is shown.

Acceptable characters include only 0-9, and A-F, in upper case.

If using a digital wand refer to the Code 39 Programming Table in this document.

When desired changes have been entered use either ‘E’ to Save or ‘H’ to Abort.

WEP128 refers to 128-bit key length assigned to the WiFi Module that must match the access point on the
network.

Wep128 works the same as wep64 described above with a requirement of 26 ASCII HEX digits that must be
entered in the Wep Key areas 1-4.

Debugging

The Debug Setup page allows an administrator to enable application and system debugging. Configurable
options:

 Enable/disable debugging • Max Debug Storage (bytes)
 Debug Level • Storage Limit Action
 Max Debug Time (hours)

Note: The default location for the debug file is \ramdisk\errors.txt

Debug Level

This setting defines the minimum level of messages that will be logged. This only affects terminal applications
that utilize the debug levels. Debug messages without levels are always stored. The debug priority levels
include (Low, Medium, High, Severe) to write to the file.

Maximum Debug Time

This Sets up the maximum amount of time in hours (x number of hours) to allow debugging to run. When the
time is reached debugging is stopped. If set to zero (0 = infinite). If the Terminal is rebooted at any time the
debugging will stop.

Revision C November 2016 47

Genus G1 MARK II User Manual

UM3010-2

Maximum Debug Storage

Specify the max size of the debug file in bytes at which point the action taken is determined by Storage Limit
Action. If set to zero it will continue to write until the ‘\ramdisk’ of the Terminal is full.

Storage Limit Action

Determines whether to Overwrite or to Stop Debugging when the Maximum Storage Bytes value has been
reached.

Overwrite is the preferred setting as it will let error logging run continuously while still limiting the space used to
the size of Maximum Debug Storage by overwriting the oldest messages with new information.

Errors.txt - The errors.txt file is a general repository for informational, warning, and critical messages useful for

troubleshooting the operation of the terminal, or the transfer of data from the terminal to the host.
The Genus 1 terminal logs informational messages on startup to the errors.txt file. Some messages
are dependent on the optional hardware provided with the terminal.

The AP (Access Point) cannot
find the WiFi Module.

The WiFi Module cannot
associate with an Access
Point.

The Genus terminal cannot
access the WiFi Module for
setup purposes

The Genus terminal still

Module after “fallback” has

occurred.

Troubleshooting Suggestions Table

Verify that the Link LED is solid green. If it isn’t, refer to “LED
Troubleshooting” table.

Click the Refresh button in your Access Point’s configuration application.

If the problem remains, check the WiFi Module’s physical connections.
Then power-down the WiFi Module, power it up, and check the LED

status. The “WiFi LED Description” table defines the various LED status

indications. Make sure that there is not another AP in the area that may
be interfering with your AP.

If the problem remains, contact CMI.

Change the location of the WiFi Module to improve reception. If that
does not help, go into the WiFi configuration and be sure the SSID
matches that of the Access Point (remember the SSID is case sensitive).
Also verify that the security settings such as WEP keys or WPA
PASSPHRASE match the AP exactly.

Genus G1 MARK II User Manual

Most likely the Terminal does not know the IP address of the WiFi
Module. This will happen if the Module is set for DHCP and the Module
obtains an IP from the server. The Terminal will be able to access the

Module by using the WiFi Module’s fallback IP address. The WiFi
Module will revert back to the fallback Ethernet settings after 60
seconds if it is moved out of range of the AP or if the AP is powered
down. Fallback mode is indicated when the Power LED changes from

amber to green and the Link LED is blinking red.

Default Fallback Ethernet Settings

IP address: 192.168.0.68
Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
Gateway IP: 0.0.0.0

DHCP must be turned off in the Genus terminal and fixed address
settings entered that match the above values. The first three octets of
the Terminal must match the address above. The last octet must be

something other than 68.

The fallback Ethernet settings have been changed to something other
than the default values. The default values can be restored to the WiFi
Module by turning the Module on while holding the reset button
momentarily. All user changed values will be defaulted.

Link LED continues to Blink Red.

WiFi Module has not found an Access Point with which to associate. Be
sure the Access Point you want to use is turned on and has WEP disabled
(you can enable WEP after the WiFi Module has been configured).

If this does not help, be sure there are no nearby devices causing
interference. If there are, either turn off or move the device causing the
interference or move the WiFi Module and Access Point to another
location.

Comm LED is Red and Link LED is
Green but you are unable to pass

data.

Check the Ethernet settings of the Genus terminal. Except for the last octet
of the IP address, all settings should match those of the WiFi Module. If the
Terminal is set for DHCP, your network must have a DHCP server available
when the Genus Terminal is powered-up.

If DHCP is enabled, your network must have a DHCP server available when
the WiFi Module is powered-up. Most AP/Routers have a DHCP server
built-in.

Calculating Number of Transactions That Can Be Stored

The number of transactions that can be stored is determined by the size of the transaction. Each transaction
minimally has 45 bytes as header data and has up to 4KB of transaction data.

A transaction looks as follows:

[45 Bytes – Header] [Up to 4KB Data]

To calculate the number of transactions that can be stored, you can use the following calculation:

1,048,576 / (45 + <data length> )

For example, if you were simply using 10-digit badges, the calculation would appear as follows:

1,048,576 / (45 + 10) = 19065
