1. INTRODUCTION
This manual contains information about configuration IS1000 laser reader and decoder present
in the radio base.
The installation procedures and technical description are described in the IS1000 Installation
and User’s Guide.
The IS1000 Connection List contains the connection numbers (or ID) and the cable references
to be used for Keyboard-Wedge communication on PCs and terminals, for communication with
P.O.S. systems and Notebooks. For other types of connections see chapter 2, Communication
Modes.
IS1000 – Configuration Guide

Once the radio base is powered on, each parameter value can be changed simply by scanning,
with the laser reader, the codes appearing in this manual with respect to configuration sequence.

! Note:
There is no need to adjust all the parameters. Change only the ones concerning your application.
Unchanged parameters will keep their previous value.
The parameter values are stored in a non-volatile memory called EEPROM and are saved when
the radio base is turned off.

1.1. Default Configuration (factory setting)
When shipped from the factory, each IS1000 is configured with default parameter values
as follows:
Default Configuration
RS232 mode:
- 9600 bps
Communication Mode
- Even parity
- 7 data bits
- 1 stop bit
- CR/LF end of message characters
Symbology
Radio 433 MHz – Channel 3
Operating Mode
Buzzer High volume
Code 39, Code 128, EAN 128, UPC/EAN, Interleaved 2/5,
Monarch/Codabar
- Simple acknowledgment mode
- Timer 1 = 200 ms
- Timer 2 = 3 s
- Timer 3 = 2 s
- Number of re-transmissions = 3
These are the main parameters, please check the sections of this manual which concern
your application.
The default value of each parameter appears like this:
3 to 5 characters
FUNCTION X ACTIVATED *
Code 39
The text below the code is framed and ended by the sign * to indicate the default value.
At any time, the default values of all the parameters can be set by scanning this code:
! Caution:
The reading of this code will turn all parameters to their default value.

2. COMMUNICATION MODES
The radio base is equipped with a decoder offering a multi-interface communication port.
The default communication mode is RS232 (9600 baud, 7 data bits, parity even, 1 stop bit, end
message: CR LF).
Other communication modes can be selected by using the following sequence:

Other characters or complete fields can be added to the message using the
Preamble / Postamble function (see appendix 6.3, page 58) or the Editing Mode
(see chapter 5, page 53).

2.1.6. Time-Out Between Characters
In case that errors are detected using high speed transmissions such as 19200 or
38400 baud and if two stop bits are already set, a time-out can be inserted
between each character for a better synchronization:

2.1.7. ACK/NAK Protocol
Once this protocol is activated, the decoder waits for an acknowledgment from the
host system:
• ACK (06 hexa) means: message correctly received by the host system.
• NAK (15 hexa) means: message incorrectly received by the host, upon
reception of this character the decoder resends the
message.
ACK/NAK DISACTIVATED *
2.1.8. XON/XOFF Protocol
Using this protocol, the host system can control the data flow coming from the
decoder:
• XON (11 hexa) means: host system ready to receive data.
• XOFF (13 hexa) means: host system busy, the decoder stops the transmission
XON/XOFF DISACTIVATED *
2.1.9. RTS/CTS Protocol
This protocol is a hardware "handshake" between the decoder and the host
system. Before transmitting data, the decoder rises its RTS signal (pin 4) to +10
volt and waits for a +10 volt signal on its CTS (pin 5) from the host. The rest
position of the two pins is -10 volt.
ACK/NAK ACTIVATED
and waits for an XON.

2.1.10. PC-Term Mode
Some applications use several RS232 terminals connected to a PC host system
configured in PC-Term mode. When a character is typed on a keyboard of a
terminal, its scan code value is transmitted to the PC instead of its ASCII value.
Then, upon reception, the PC sends back the corresponding ASCII character to
display on the screen.
Therefore, once this mode is activated, the decoder sends the scan code value of
each character read.
To activate the PC-Term mode, read this code and adjust the RS232 parameters
using page 6 to 10. It is advised to insert a time-out of 50 ms between each
character when baud rate is over 9600 baud (see page 9).
PC-TERM MODE ACTIVATED
Upper/lower case characters and the type of numeric characters can be adjusted
using page 14 and 15.
Keyboard layout style can be selected using the Bar Code Pad page 12, without
reading the code Keyboard-Wedge Mode Activated.

2.2. Keyboard-Wedge
In this mode the radio base is connected between the keyboard and the computer (or
terminal). Data is emulated by the decoder as if it was typed on the keyboard.
The default communication mode (factory setting) is RS232, use the codes on this page to
activate the Keyboard-Wedge mode and to select the ID corresponding to your computer
or terminal:

those located on top of the keyboard.

! Note:
If the option Numeric Pad is chosen, the numeric pad of the keyboard must be
also turned on (or locked) for correct operation.
2.2.4. Time-Out Between Characters
The insertion of a time-out between each character can sometimes avoid eventual
errors due to a fast transmission speed (specially on PS/2 or when DOS and BIOS
are very busy).
