Attention! Firmware Management mode (FMM)
The TR515 has two different modes of operation. Normal mode provides
regular device functional ity. Fi rmware Management mode (FMM) is provi ded for
internal firmware checkup and upgrades (see Sec t i on 5).
The Normal mode is ent ered by powering the TR515 up while
not
pressing
the IN button. Switching the TR515 on while holding the IN button or both IN
and OUT buttons down forces the unit into the FMM. The FMM mode of
operation cannot be exited other than by s witching the TR515 off and bac k on
again.

Wall-mount and desktop operation
The TR515 can be us ed either as a wall-m ount (default , see Fi gure above)
or desktop device. Mac hine needs to be rotated 180 degrees when used on a
desk. For this reason, the TR515 comes with t wo different LE D plates (with their
artworks rotated 180 degrees with respect to each other). Machine’s LED can
also display ti me and other data in a “norm al” (wall-mount ), or desk top fashio n.
There is an orient ation setting provided t hat allows you to select display mode
(see Section 4).
1. RS-232/485 Interface Versions
The TR515 supports two different interfaces: RS232 for single-terminal
communications, and RS485 for multi-terminal communications. Only one
TR515 can be attached to the PC’s s erial port us ing the RS232 i nterfac e. Up to
32 units can be interconnected using the multi-terminal RS485
communications.`
RS232 arrangement is simple: just plug the RS232 c able (suppli ed) into the
TR515 and connect the other side to the PC’s serial port.
Using RS485 requires a special adaptor- CON485 (must be purchased
separately). CON485 is a “smart” RS232! RS485 converter that allows for
higher data trans fer rates between the PC and TR515s.
TR515 User’s Manual

The RS485 network is of “bus” type- all TR515s are c onnected in parallel on
a so-called twisted pair bus. The most suitable cable for the bus is the one
normally used for Et hernet com m unicati ons (twist ed pair Cat. III or V). You only
need to use one twisted pair of wires inside the cable.
Note: depending on the cab le type, up to 4 twist ed pairs m ay be available, it
doesn’t matt er which one you use, just m ake sure t hat you are using
both
wire s
of the
same
wire pair.
To connect the T R515 to the twist ed pair bus, c ut the RS232 c able suppl ied
with each TR515 and locate 2 wires inside: Orange and Green. Attach each
wire to one of the wires on the twisted pai r bus.
Mind the polarity! Orange and
Green wires can not be s wi tc hed
. It is recom m ended that you k eep t he lengt h of
each “bus stem ” (i.e. the c able t hat is used t o at tac h a cert ain TR515 to t he bus)
as short as possible, ideally under 10 cm (s ee t he drawing below).

One side of the bus m ust be attached to the CON485: Orange connects to
pin #3, Green connects to pin #4.
Another side of the twisted pair bus must be properly
terminated
. This is
especially im portant for long buses. Standard termi nation resistor value is 120
Ohm.
Note: It is not always necessary to have the termination resistor. It
really depends on the actual wiring and connection circumstances.
Before testing the network, make sure that all Terminals and the CON485
are powered and that the CON485’s baudrate sel ector is in the 19200 position
(selector must be set prior to powering the CON485 up).

2. Ethernet Int erface Versions
The TR515EX is designed to at tach directly t o the RJ45 10BaseT Ethernet
connector. S tandar d m agneti cs c irc uit ry (YCL par t 20F001N) has be en i ncl uded
onboard to provide a “glueless” interface to the Ethernet network.
Most Ethernet ins tallations require cables of s ubstantial and variable lengt h,
so you will probably need to make your own cables. For testing purposes
PROMAG supplies two kinds of Et hernet cables: device-to-hub ( W AS-1499) for
connections throu gh a st andard Et hernet hu b, and devi ce-t o-devic e (WAS-1498)
for connections without a hub (i.e. directly from one Ethernet devic e to another).

Understanding machine numbers
For single-terminal RS232 communications, you needn’t specify your
TR515’s machine number.
For multi-terminal RS485 communications you must make sure that all
Terminals on the network have unique machines numbers . Machine number is
a network address that uniquel y identifies t he Terminal on t he network. Having
two different Terminal s on the network s et up to t he same m achine n umber will
result in the inability to communicate with both Terminals.
Machine number can be in the 0 to 255 range (00-FF Hex). 0 is a universal
machine number- any Terminal responds to it regardless of this Terminal’s
actual mac hine number setting. Machine num ber of 0 can be used f or RS232
communications- you only have a single Terminal in this case, so you can
address it with the universal number.
For multi-terminal RS485 communications, you’ll need to assign a unique
(and non-zero! ) machine number t o each Ter minal on the network.
Assigning machine numbers
The TR515 offers a fast and convenient way of assig ning machine num bers
in the range from 0 to 10. To assign a new machine number:
•
Power the Termi nal down (unplug the power cord)
•
Press and hold the OUT butt on
•
Power the Terminal up while continuing to hold down the OUT but ton
•
After 2-3 seconds, the Terminal will beep and display its current
machine number, for example:
•
While still keeping the OUT button pressed, push the IN button
(several times if necessary) to change the machine number to the
desired value
•
When the desired machine number is displayed, release the OUT
button- the Terminal will resume normal operation
This method allows you to set the numbers in the 0-10 range only (which
would actually cover most of t he act ual i nst all ation r equirem ent s ). I f you need to
set the machine number to, say, 25, then you will have to follow this procedure:
•
Connect the TR515 to the PC us ing the RS232 cable
•
Launch the
TR515 Control Center
software and select the Terminal
TR515 User’s Manual
6
#0 (i.e. us e the universal machine number to address the Terminal )
•
Use the “Set M#” button to set the new machine number for this
Terminal
•
Unplug the RS232 cable and put the Terminal back on the RS485
network.
Note: machi ne number is displayed bri efly at t he Termi nal power-up (even if
you don’t push the OUT button).
Bell relay
The TR515 features a built-in bell relay. The relay is capable of controlling a
low-power external bell. A daily bell sc hedule o f up to 32 di ff erent bell t im es c an
be defined.
NCCOMNO
Relay connector is loc ated under the m etal back plate. Figure above shows
connector position and pin assignment. Both Normally Closed (N.C.) and
Normally Opened (N.O .) contacts are provided.
Locking event selection (IN or OUT)
By default, the TR515 allows the User to choose the desired event (IN or
OUT) prior to reading the ID-card. Th ere is a setting pr ovided that allows event
selection t o be f ixed either at I N or OUT (s ee Sec t ion 4). Thi s arrangem e nt m ay
be desirable in case s everal TR515s are used, with som e machi nes inst alled at
the entrance and serving for registering IN events, and some machines installed
at the exit and serving for OUT registration only. Fixing t he event prevents the
User from choosing an alternative event at the moment of reading I D-card.
TR515 User’s Manual

2. Using the TR515
Clocking in and out
To register an event (IN or OUT), pus h the appropriate but ton and read your
ID-card. For the TR515R (RFID version), the card is read by bringing it clos e to
the reader (< 8 cm ). For t he TR515M, TR515B, and TR515F (Magneti c, V isible
Barcode and IR Barcode respectively), the card is read by swiping it in either
direction al ong the reader slot. For the m achine orientati on shown on figure of
page 3, magnetic (barcode) stripe of the ID-card must face downwards.
Note:
the TR515 can be programmed to fix event selection to IN or OUT
only- in this case event sel ec ti on won’t work!
The last f our digits of the ID-cards I D-code are displayed on the LED when
the ID-card is read. Four dashes are displayed in case of read error (only
applicable to the TR515M):
Memory full status
When the database mem ory is full, new records cannot be added. Reading
an ID-card will produce a long beep and a “FULL” message:
Error conditions
The TR515 can detec t and notif y you of a number of diff erent error c onditions.
Please refer to Appendi x A for complete lis t of all possible erro rs .
Normal operation of the TR515 is suspended upon encountering an error
condition other than “card read error”. New records cannot be added to the
database in t his sit uation. Com munic ations with the TR515 fr om t he PC s ide is
still possible, however. This gives you an opportunity to access the TR515
online and attempt to correct the problem.

3. Communications protocol
The TR515 communications protocol is based on the GNET protocol
specification. Communic ations param eters are 19200-8-N-1.
Communic ations between the TR515 and the PC tak es place i n the form of
commands sent by the PC and replies f rom the TR515. Comm ands and replies
are packets of data. E ach pack et begins wit h an STX (02H) character and ends
with CR (0DH) character. Selected c ommands and replies inc lude a che cksum
field as an additional safet y measure. All ch aracters between the STX and the
CR characters must be in the 20H.. . 7F H range.
The STX character of a command packets is followed by a one-character
command code. The STX character of a reply packet is followed by a onecharacter reply code. Both command and reply packets may contain some
relevant data af ter the command (reply) character:
STX C1 C2 CR
02H
Cmd/Rpl
code
Data (if any) Checksum* 0DH
*
Checksum field is not included into certain commands and rep lies
All available com mands are described lat er in this Section. Of reply codes,
only two are possible: ‘A’ (completed successfully) and ‘N’ (some error was
encountered). Depending on the command given to the TR515, reply packets
with reply code ‘A’ may contain some data (as shown on the Figure above).
Reply packets with the reply code ‘N’ always contain a 2-digit error code that
can be used to analyze the source of a problem.
The checks um is an 8-bit s um of all charact ers between the STX and CR,
represented as a 2-character HEX string. For an example packet below, the
checks um is calc ulated as follows. The data part of t he packet i s “A1XYZ”. The
sum of t hese character c odes is: 41H+31H+58H+59H+5A H=17DH. Eight l east
significant bits contain 7DH. The string representation of this value is “7D” (i.e. 2
ASCII characters- ‘7’ and ‘D’).

is a machine (terminal) number in Hex form (00H-FFH), 00H is a
“universal” number (see below for det ails).
‘D’ is a spec ial command. It is used to select a particul ar TR515 term inal.
All terminals power up in a “deselected” state. Each terminal ignores all
incoming c ommands unt il it rec ei ves t he D-c ommand whose
machine number
is
either equal to the machine number of this terminal, or 00. After that, the
terminal switches into “selected” state and responds to all subsequent
commands until new D-command with a different machine number is issued.
Thus, the D-command should always be used to initiate communications
between the host and the designated TR515.
Note: the TR515 never returns any error codes in reply to this command.
This holds true for both “Illegal command” error and “Command failed” error.
The former is not responded to, because when there is some di sc repancy i n the
format of the D-c om m and i ss ued by the H ost (which c an only be in t he Machi ne
Number field), no particular terminal can be “sure” that it is being addressed.
Therefore, no terminal on the network assumes responsibility for sending a
reply. “Comm and failed” situation can only arise because of incorrect m achine
number setting value in the TR515 memory. In this case, the terminal will be
unable to com pare its internal m achine number with t he one supplied in the Dcommand. Hence, the Terminal will not be able to make sure that it is being
addressed.
Since 00 is a universal m achine number, it works with any ter minal. Use it
only when you have a single terminal connec ted to the hos t. Universal mac hine
number also comes handy during initial terminal setup (to assign a unique
machine number to the terminal prior to placing it on a multi-terminal network).
The terminal replies with its actual machine number even if you addres s it
using 00. The only exception is when the terminal i s unable to retrieve its own
machine number due to some internal malfunction. Reply will contain 00 instead
of an actual machine number in this case.

This sett ing defines if the TR515 will allow the User t o choos e the event (I N
or OUT), or event selection will be fixed to IN only or OUT only. Fixing event
may be desirable in case several TR515s are used, with some machines
installed at the entrance and serving for registering IN events, and some
machines installed at the exit and serving for OUT registration only.
5. Firmware Management mode
The TR515 also features new Firmware Management mode (FMM). FMM
allows you to quickly upgrade your TR515’s internal firmware and also check
validity of the c urrent ly l oaded fi rm ware. Contac t your deal er for t he m ost rec ent
firmware upgrade fil es .
FMM itself has two sub-modes of operation: FMM/download mode and
FMM/check m ode. FMM/download is ent ered by keeping the IN button pressed
while the TR515 is powering up. FMM/check mode is entered by holding both IN
and OUT buttons pressed while the TR515 is powering up.
Download i n g new firmwa re (FMM/ d ownload)
To upgrade the firmware, you will need a new firmware file and a term inal
software for PC capable of trans f erring f il es us ing Xmodem pr otoc ol (C hecksum
version).
All TR515 firmware files have a fixed size of exactly 64K (65536 bytes)
The list of popular and widely available terminal programs includes
HyperTerminal for Windows, QModem, and Term95. Procedure below
assumes the use of HyperTerminal which is a part of a standard Windows-
95/98 distribution.
To upgrade the TR515’s internal firmware:
•
Switch the TR515 off
•
Make sure that the TR515 and the PC are interconnected with a serial
cable
•
Launch
HyperTerminal
and configure i t as follows:
o When
Connection Description
dialog opens, type any string (1
character m i nimum) and press OK
o When
Connect to
dialog opens, sel ect an appropriate COM port
from the
Connect Using
drop-down box (for example,
“Direct to
TR515 User’s Manual
21
COM1”
)
o
When
COMx Properties
dialog appears, set communications
parameters as follows:
Bits per second:
19200,
Data bits:
8,
Parity:
None,
Stop bits:
1,
Flow control:
None
o
The
HyperTerminal’s
main window will appear
•
Choose
Transfer
!!!!
Send file
from the
Main
menu- the
Send file
dialog will appear
•
In the
Send file
dialog, select the file you want to download and
choose
Xmodem
protocol from the
Protocol
drop-down box
•
The
Xmodem file send for
dialog will be displayed
•
Press and hold the IN button, then power up the TR515 while still
keeping the IN button press ed. The uni t will generat e a long beep and
display “FLLD” (FLA SH Load):
•
When receiving the file, the TR515 will blink its IN LED (the LED is on
while the TR515 is receiving or expecting to receive a block of data
from the PC; the LED is of f while the TR515 is program ming the data
received into its internal FLASH memory)
•
Once the downloading is finished, the TR515 will execute one long
beep and display “DONE”:
•
You may start using the newly downloaded firmware after switching
the unit off and back on again.
A number of errors may occur during the download. Errors are displayed in
the ”ERRx” format, where x is the error number, for example:
In addition, the TR515 generates a beep pattern compri sed of a long beep
followed by one or several short beeps. The number of beeps corresponds to
the error number.
All possible download-related error codes are listed in the table below:
Err1
Communications error
(invalid data recei ved from the PC). The
most probable cause of this error is incorrect communications
parameters you’ve set in the HyperTerminal
Err2
The download file is too bi
g
(exceeds 64K). All TR515 f irm ware
TR515 User’s Manual
22
files must be exactly 64K in size. Make sure you are trying to
downloading a correct one
Err3
FLASH memory failure
. This normal l y indi c at es a serious int e rnal
malfunction
The LED display is turned of f after displaying the message for some time.
TR515 User’s Manual
23
Finally, t here is a ti meout error that occ urs when you s tart the download but
PC doesn’t send any data (or the TR515 cannot receive the data sent by the
PC). This happens when you either set communications parameters of the
HyperTerminal
incorrectly or if you switch the TR515 on (with the IN button
pressed) before star ting the XMODEM on the PC side (it should always be
the
other way around
: start XMODEM first, t hen s witch the TR515 on).
The timeout error is indicat ed by a long beep and four dashes displayed by
the LED:
Checking existing firmware (FMM/check)
To check if the currently downloaded application firmware is valid:
•
Switch the TR515 off
•
Press and hold both IN and OUT buttons, then switch the TR515
back on (while keeping both but tons pressed). The unit will generate
a long beep and display “FLCH” (FLASH check):
•
Memory checkup t ak es about 5 s econds to c om pl ete. OUT LE D is on
while check is in progress. Upon test completion, the TR515 will
either display “DONE” in case the FLASH memory contains a valid
program, or “Err4” if inte rnal program code is invalid.
6. Test mode
The TR515 provides a hardware Test m ode that can be ini tiated by i ssuing
a Z-command (s ee S ec t i on 3).
Warning! Hardware test destroys the database contents (not just
deletes it logically), so the data cannot be recovered even using the Mcommand! The test mode also sets a so-called Reset flag: the TR515 w ill
be completely reinitialized on the next power-up after the test.
Once initiated, the Test mode cannot be exited other t han by switching the
TR515 off.
The Test mode is comprised of two phases. Phase 1 performs automated
SRAM, RTC (real-time clock) and FLASH memory tests. Phase 2 consists of
manual button and reader test s.
TR515 User’s Manual
24
Phase 1 begins immediately upon entering the Test mode. The LED
displays “TEST” at this time:
A number of errors can occur during this portion of the test: Al l errors are
displayed in the “ERRx” format, where x is the error number, for example:
All possible errors are listed in the table below:
Err1
SRAM test failure
Err2
RTC test failu re
Err3
FLASH test failure
Upon successful completion of the automated tests, the TR515 will beep
and display “b1-5” (OUT LED will be switched on):
This means that the manual test phase has commenced. This phase
consist s of three steps: OUT butt on test, IN but ton test, and reader test. Each
step must be repeat ed fi ve ti mes.
Press t he OUT button and notice that “b1-5” changes to “b1-4”, “b1-3”, etc.
When you press the OUT butt on for the fi fth ti me, the dis play will change t o
“b2-5” and the IN LED will be switched on. Press the IN button five times to
finish this test step.
The display reads “rd-5” at the beginning of the reader test. Read any IDcard five times to pass this portion of the test.
When all manual tests are finished, the TR515 will generate a long beep
and display “PASS”:
This indicates that t he tes t s equence has been c om plet ed suc ces s ful ly. Y ou
can still conti nue test ing the but t ons and t he reader at thi s poi nt. The T R515 will
behave as if in the Norm al Mode of operation, but no rec ords will be added to
the database.
