Polled Device Status Menu
This menu lists all device addresses (from 1 to 50) as “Inactive” or “Active.”
An Active device is one that is physically connected to the MS-5000 and
detected by the MS-5000 during the polling cycle. However, if a device goes
off-line or is assigned a different address, then its status changes to Inac-
tive. If assigned a new address, it will automatically be listed as Active
whenever the Polled Device Status menu is refreshed.
Note:
Decoders or scanners to be linked up to a MS-5000 multidrop concentra-
tor can ONLY be configured in standard Multidrop and must be configured as
such from within their own configuration programs.
Hint:
Attach a tag to each device to identify its multidrop address.
Time Keeping Menu
Allows you to determine the way that time and date information is
prepended (added to the beginning) to decoded label data.
To activate time keeping, you need to enter the current time and date, the
time and date format, and a separator character. The output is as follows:
Polled address, separator, hour, minute, second, hundreds of a second
(if enabled), a space, day of week (if enabled), day of month, month,
year, separator and code.
For example: 04-20:30:15:99 Fri.07/04/97-barcode
