4.1.4 Sending Configuration Strings from Host
An alternative configuration method is provided in Appendix A using the RS-232
interface. This method is particularly useful when many devices need to be
configured with the same settings. Batch files containing the desired parameter
settings can be prepared to configure devices quickly and easily.

™
D8330 Series readers, follow the setup procedures in sections 4.3,
and 4.8.

(section 4.5.2).

RS-485 network by the STARGATE™ RF base station or by the BC-8000
cradle (sections 4.6 and 4.7).
