1.4.3 Host Communication
The FP-300RA supports communication with a host. Two types of messages are used:
FP-300RA-initiated message used to report events, e.g., a new transponder
Messages sent in response to host requests.
The message set is presented in Appendix D.
1.4.4 Real-Time Clock
The FP-300RA has an internal real time clock (RTC) with a resolution of 10 millisecond.
Whenever the FP-300RA is restarted, the RTC starts running from an initial value of 00:00
January 1, 2000. Therefore, the host must make the translation to “normal” time.
The FP-300RA RTC can be set via the host and/or maintenance interface.
