This is where the powerful yet easy-to-use configuration software comes to the rescue. The pcProx-232 and pcProx-IP configuration application configures the reader’s output with various formatting options. Once configured, pcProx takes the proximity card’s identification information and sends it as ASCII characters.
pcProx-232 can be programmed to parse facility and ID codes, drop parity bits, and format the data length. In addition, it can add characters to the beginning, middle, or after the card data prior to sending the resultant output as characters. This is all accomplished using the configuration utility. Once configured, pcProx holds this information in its nonvolatile memory. When pcProx is deployed, no software is needed. It uses standard RS-232c communications port drivers supplied by the operating system such as Windows and Macintosh or embedded controllers. Perfect for any device that accepts ASCII data at the RS232c port using standard COM port parameters: 9600, N, 8, 1. This model is ideal for employee identification where reader interface to an existing serial port is needed.
The pcProx-IP attaches to a RJ-45 ethernet connector and emulates the pcProx-232 reader. This readers copmes with RS-232 to ethernet redirector software. This software redirects the ethernet address to a virtual COM port on a Windows-based PC.
An optional software developer’s kit is available.
