DataMan Procedure For Device Backup Codes

Details

From the DataMan Setup Tool :
- Uncheck the box “Train Code After Tuning”,
- Check the box “Aimer Enabled”, in order to know where the code has to be placed (ideally in the image center) :
Then go to “System”, and click on « Print Device Backup Code » :
Check the box "Print reset code on its own page” in order to get three separated pages, and be sure to read the right code of each step :
Print the 3 pages.
First step : use the 1st page only :
- Go to “Live Mode” and place the DataMatrix code (Step 1 « Hard Reset » code) in the image center :
- Stop the “Live Mode” and press the “Tune” button, so the reader will adjust the exposure time and the focus, to be able to read the « Hard Reset » code :
- Send a manual trigger to the reader on the first DataMatrix code Sstep 1 « Hard Reset » code), then wait for the reader to reboot :
This will initialize the reader and its IP address, with a dynamic IP (DHCP).
If the PC is using a static IP address, the reader cannot be found anymore :
Set the PC with a dynamic IP address (DHCP) to be able to connect to the reader.
Once the connection is established, the « Exposure », the « Gain » and the « Focus » are back to factory default values, which means that the image will probably be too bright, and the focus won’t be correct.
Go to “Live Mode” and place another code in front of the reader (Please use a different DataMatrix code from the printed codes used for the three steps of the « Backup » procedure).
Stop the “Live Mode” and press the “Tune” button, so the reader will adjust the exposure time and the focus, to be able to read all the different configuration codes.
Now use the second printed page, with 3 DataMatrix codes, and follow the step number 2 :
- The two codes on the right must be hidden, then send a trigger to the reader to only read the 1st code of the step 2.
- When these « Backup » codes are properly read, the reader will not generate any “Read” or “NoRead” in the « Result History » :
- If a « NoRead » is generated, the « Backup” codes have not been read, so try again.
- Then, the 1st and the 3rd codes must be hidden.
- Send a new trigger to the reader, to only read the 2nd code of the step 2.
- Finally, the 1st and the 2nd codes must be hidden, send a trigger to the reader, to only read the 3rd code of the step 2.
Now, the reader needs to be restarted :
- Ideally, by clicking on the read warning below :
- Or by reading the code of the step 3 (3rd printed page).
