Installation Guide

Diagnostic Mode

Diagnostic Mode allows you to troubleshoot the ActiveTag system by

displaying all data received from all Tag broadcasts picked up by the

Receiver – including Tag data with Activator IDs that have not been

programmed into the Receiver.

To enter Diagnostic Mode, type 39c.

An example of how the Receiver will respond:

0 0 1 1 0 6 0 2 4 0 1 2 3 4

001 = Receiver ID

106 = Activator ID

024 = Site Code

01234 = ID of Tag in the field

Diagnostic Outputs

The Network Receiver will output every Tag transmission that it

receives, whether or not the Tag data contains a valid Activator ID.

IMPORTANT! Do not use Diagnostic Mode as the standard Network

Receiver output to interface with your software. Diagnostic Mode allows

cross-talk – Receivers will output data for Tags awakened by any 132 kHz

Activator signal.

Wiegand Output

While a Network Receiver sends Tag data to HyperTerminal as rapidly

as it’s received, it will still buffer the data being sent to the Wiegand

control panel. When a Network Receiver that has been configured to

output Wiegand data is in Diagnostic Mode, all Tag information is

sent to the control panel. Therefore, it’s recommended Wiegand

output be disabled – or, disconnect the Wiegand terminal when in

Diagnostics Mode. To exit Diagnostics Mode, type: 22c

IMPORTANT! Always turn off Diagnostic Mode when finished. Failure to do

so can result in cross-talk, garbled output and erratic system performance.
