The reader executes the synchronization function wherever a sync frame has been inserted in the

firing sequence. This allows for flexibility between inter-reader and multi-protocol synchronization,

and also allows for syncing to older versions of readers.

ATTENTION: When syncing newer versions of readers with

older versions of readers, an advanced knowledge of sync

configuration is required. Therefore, it is recommended that

Kapsch Service be consulted, as boundaries and limits of

variables may not be the default and will need to be

reconfigured

Frame sequence Synchronization rules

When building a frame sequence where readers are required to be synchronized, the following rules

must be followed to avoid errors or warnings.

• Only one sync block may be used when only 1 or 2 protocol sequences are enabled in the

Frame sequence.

• If 2 or more sync blocks are used in the Frame sequence, one of the blocks must be enabled

to Skip-on-Sync.

• With multiple sync blocks in an frame sequence, they should each be different (e.g. Sync_1,

Sync_2) to ensure correct alignment.

• The sequences on the readers must be the same or at least have the same time length(s)

between sync block(s). Dummy frames may be used to achieve this if the sequences are

different.

How to build a Frame sequence

Two examples are provided, one using a single protocol and no sync, while the other is a multi-

protocol sequence with sync.

A service laptop is connected to the ETHERNET 1 port of the Reader and a browser is activated.

Note 1: To build a frame sequence, work from left to right starting in the first frame. To change or

delete frames from a sequence, you must always start with the last frame and work

towards the left.

Note 2: Frame Sequence will be updated automatically when add /delete protocol or when

change firing sequence (time slot). No update button is required.
