Manual Datafox ZK-Box V4 page 10 date: 16.01.2018 Version: 04.03.06.XX4.3. Kompatibilität CompatibilityThe compatibility must be observed urgently between:- Datafox devices and the device firmware- Device firmware and device setup- Device firmware and communication DLL- Communication DLL and DatafoxStudioIV- DatafoxStudioIV and device setup4.3.1. Firmware File Archive (*.dfz)DescriptionDevice files (*.hex) of the MasterIV devices are delivered in a common firmware file archive. It hasthe file extension DFZ (stands for Datafox Zip). Now simply the firmware file archives (*.dfz) are in-dicated instead of the device files (*.hex). This applies to the DatafoxStudioIV and the DLL. The in-dication of device files (*.hex) is still possible.Function of the ArchiveThe transfer routine of the device file selects the right file from the firmware file archive on the basisof the hardware options available in the device. Thus, it is guaranteed that all hardware componentsavailable in the device are supported by the corresponding firmware.Manual Selection of a FileIf you do not want to integrate the archive in your installation, you have the possibility to add singledevice files from the archive to the installation.The file format of the firmware file archive is ZIP. Hence, you can open the archive with everystandard ZIP-program. Via the entry "Open With" in the context menu you can select an appropriateprogram for opening the file. If necessary, you can call up a program combined with this file formatto open the file by renaming the file from DFZ to ZIP.In the archive you find a file named "Inhalt.pdf"; it contains information which file (*.hex) of the ar-chive matches your device. Extract the desired device file (*.hex) and rename it if necessary. A re-naming of a file is possible at any time, because all information are in the file itself.You can state the device file extracted before as device file in DatafoxStudioIV and at calling theDLL function. It is still tested if the file can be loaded into the chosen device before the transfertakes place.4.3.2. Datafox Devices and Device FirmwareEach Datafox device has an electronic flat module. The module has specific hardware equipmentconcerning the options (e.g. mobile radio, WLAN, fingerprint,...). Due to technical conditions, differ-ent options are mutually exclusive. Currently, not all hardware options can be supported in onefirmware file due to limited program memory. This means that each device with specific hardwareoptions needs a proper firmware to support the hardware options by the software.! Caution:Hardware generation V 3 is supported from version 04.02.00.x onwards. The Data-foxStudioIV is compatible up to and including firmware version 04.01.x.y. Older ver-sions 04.00.x.y are not supported any more.4.3.3. Device Firmware and Device SetupThe firmware (operating system) of the device and the device setup (*.aes data file = applicationprogram) form a unit. By the device setup, the runtime behavior of the device (the firmware) is de-termined. This means the response of the device to input events by the user or the environment(e.g. digital inputs). In principle, only those functions of the device are executed that are supportedby the firmware and defined via the setup. Prior to the productive commencement, you should there- |
