CHANGING THE USB OPERATING MODE
The factory default mode for the 2128P ePop-Loq
®
is Charge-and-Data.
The
TSL Reader Configuration App can be used to switch the USB operating mode in an easy manner.
Alternatively, the USB operating mode may be changed by adding commands to an AUTO.TXT file placed in the
root directory of a Micro SD card in the reader.
Set USB mode to Charge-and-Data:
1. Create a blank AUTO.TXT file.
2. Add the following command to the AUTO.TXT file (without quotation marks):
“.fd -ep cd”
3. Place the AUTO.TXT within the the root directory of a Micro SD card in the reader.
4. Restart the reader
N.B. The ePop-Loq
®
USB mode is non-volatile and the command may be safely removed from the AUTO.TXT file
after it has been run once.
USB OPERATING MODES
The ePop-Loq
®
on the 2128P can be configured in one of two modes – Charge-Only or Charge-and-Data. Please
ensure the mode required is correctly configured.
● Charge-Only mode: Both the 2128P UHF Reader and the mounted device will be charged when docked in the
charging cradle, but will never use the USB data connection.
● Charge-and-Data mode: Compatible devices will use the USB data connection when not in the charging cradle.
Note that USB data connection to the 2128P requires a custom application that supports the TSL® ASCII
protocol over USB.
N.B. The USB connector on the charging cradle is always available when the 2128P is docked.
Set USB mode to Charge-Only:
1. Create a blank AUTO.TXT file.
2. Add the following command to the AUTO.TXT file (without quotation marks):
“.fd -ep co”
3. Place the AUTO.TXT within the the root directory of a Micro SD card in the reader.
4. Restart the reader
