INSTALLATION172Main InterfaceThe main serial interface is compatible with the following electrical standards:RS232RS485 full-duplexRS485 half-duplexThe main serial interface type and its relative parameters (baud rate, data bits, etc.) areselected via software using the Genius™ utility program. For more details refer to thesection "Main Serial Port" in the Genius™ Help On Line.Details regarding the connections and use of the main interface selection are given in thenext paragraphs.RS232 InterfaceThe main serial interface is used for communication with the Host computer and allows bothtransmission of code data and configuring the reader.The following pins of the 25-pin and 26-pin connector are used for RS232 interfaceconnection depending on the reader model:Pin Name Function2 TX Transmit3 RX Receive4 RTS Request to send5 CTS Clear to send7 GND-ISO Main signal groundThe RTS and CTS signals control data transmission and synchronize the connected devices.If the RTS/CTS hardware protocol is enabled, the DS6300 activates the RTS output toindicate a message can be transmitted. The receiving unit must activate the CTS input toenable the transmission.DS63007 GND-ISO GNDUSER INTERFACERTS4CTS5RX3RXDTX2TXDFigure 23 - RS232 Connections
