INSTALLATION

Host Connections

The MiniMag is connected to the host computers RS-232 communi-

cations port. The cable has a DB-9 connector at one end, and is

connected to the reader at the other end. (An adapter can be used to

connect to a DB-25 RS-232 port.)

Data is transmitted to the host in an ASCII data format. The

readers output can be formatted with terminating characters and

special preamble and/or postamble character strings to match the

data format expected by the terminal.

The terminal must be configured to accept the data and to perform

the appropriate processing. Care must be taken to ensure that the

RS-232 parameters (baud rate, data bits, Start/Stop characters,

parity, and handshaking method) match those expected by the

terminal. Just transmitting the data to the serial port does not neces-

sarily mean it will appear on the screen as if it were entered manu-

ally.

Use the MiniMag Configuration UtilityApplication to program the

reader, and a communication program (such as Procomm or

Hyperterminal) to display the data.

There is insufficient power available on a standard RS-232 serial

port to power the MiniMag, so an external wall-mounted power

module must be used. Connect the power cable from this unit to the

power receptacle located on the DB-9 connector. Care must be

taken to ensure the power module outputs +5 volts.

Section 1

INTRODUCTION

Description

The MiniMag compact magnetic stripe reader can read 1, 2, or 3

tracks of magnetic stripe information. In addition, it has full data

editing capabilities. The data can be formatted with preamble/

postamble and terminator characters to match the format expected

by the host.

The MiniMag can be connected to a host computer via an RS-232

input port. When the reader is connected as an RS-232 device, a

separate power module must be used.

<FuncID> is a one byte Function ID identifies the particular function

or settings affected.

<Len> is a one byte length count for the following data

block<FuncData>

<FuncData> is the data block for the function.

<ETX> = 03h

The overall Modulo 2 (Exclusive OR) sum (from <STX> to

<CheckSum>) should be zero.

CONFIGURATION

The MiniMag reader must be appropriately configured to your

application. Configuration settings enable the reader to work with the

host system.

These settings are programmed into the reader using the MiniMag

Configuration Utility Program, or by sending Setup Commands from

the host application to the reader. Once programmed, these configu-

ration settings are stored in the readers non-volatile memory (so

they will not be affected by the cycling of power).

For instructions on how to use the MiniMag configuration Utility, see

Appendix E.

Note: If you want to send setup commands to the MiniMag, you

must make sure the communication parameters are always 9600,

None, 8, 1. Before you make any settings, or try to get data to

the host, check the connection cable, port, power and communi-

cation parameters.

Setup Commands Structure

Sending command:

Receiving command:

Where:

<STX> = 02h

Default Settings

The MiniMag reader is shipped from the factory with the default

settings already programmed. In the following sections, the default

settings are shown in boldface.

For a table of default settings, see Appendix A.

General Selections

This group of configuration settings define the basic operating

parameters of the scanner.

Beep Volume

The beep volume can be adjusted to two different levels, or turned

off entirely.

< STX ><S><11h><01h><BeepVolume

Settings><ETX><CheckSum>

Beep Volume Settings:

0 for beep volume off

1 for beep volume low

2 for beep volume high

Change To Default Settings

This command does not have any <FuncData>. It returns all settings

for all groups to their default values. Data Editing will be turned off,

and the formulas will be retained.

Communication Timing

The MiniMag takes time to process a command. During that pro-

cessing time, it will not respond to a new command.

Although the typical delay for the reader to respond to a command is

0.1ms, the maximum delay for the reader to respond can be as much

as 5ms. Caution must therefore be taken to maintain a minimum

delay between two commands.

Use the following formula to calculate the delay:

80ms + 10(number of bytes in <FuncData> of the first command)ms

NOTE: The maximum delay allowed between two characters in a com-

mand is 2ms.

Review Settings

This command does not have any <FuncData>. It activates the

review settings command. MiniMag sends back an <ACK> and

<Response>.

<Response> format:

The current setting data block is a collection of many function-

setting blocks <FuncSETBLOCK> as follows:

Each function-setting block <FuncSETBLOCK> has the following

format:

Where:

<FuncID> is one byte identifying the setting(s) for the function.

<Len> is a one byte length count for the following function-setting

block <FuncData>

<FuncData> is the current setting for this function. It has the same

format as in the sending command for this function.

<FuncSETBLOCK> are in the order of their Function ID<FuncID>

MSR Reading Settings

Turn the MiniMag on or off. If the reader is disabled, no data will be

sent out to the host.

0 Raw Data Decoding in Both Directions

1 Decoding in Both Directions

2 Moving StripeAlong Head in Direction of Encoding

3 Moving Stripe Along Head Against Direction of

Encoding

With the bi-directional method, the user can swipe the card in either

direction and still read the data encoded on the magnetic stripe.

Otherwise, the card can only be swiped in one specified direction to

read the card.

Magnetic Track Selections

Track Selection

There are up to three tracks of encoded data on a magnetic stripe.

This option selects the tracks that will be read and decoded.

<Track_Selection Settings>

5 Track 1 & Track 3

6 Track 2 & Track 3

7 All Three Tracks

Note: If any of the multiple tracks fails to read for any reason, no data for

any track will be sent.

Track Separator Selection

This option allows the user to select the character to be used to

separate data decoded by a multiple-track reader.

<Track_Separator> is one ASCII Character. The default value is

CR.

Message Formatting Selections

Terminator Setting

Terminator characters are used to end a string of data in some

applications.

0 CR/LF

1 CR

2 LF

3 None

Preamble Setting

Characters can be added to the beginning of a string of data. These

can be special characters for identifying a specific reading station, to

format a message header expected by the receiving host, or any

other character string. Up to nine ASCII characters can be defined.

Where:

Len = the number of bytes of preamble string

Preamble String = {string length}{string}

NOTE: String length is one byte, maximum nine.

Postamble Setting

The postamble serves the same purpose as the preamble, except it is

added to the end of the data string, after any terminator characters.

Where:

Len = the number of bytes of postamble string

Postamble String = {string length}{string}

NOTE: String length is one byte, maximum nine.

Section 4

DATA EDITING

The MiniMag has a data editing feature incorporated into its firm-

ware. This feature allows the data read from the magnetic stripe to

be sent to the host in the exact format expected by the host soft-

ware, eliminating the need for modifications to the application

software.

The data (that is, the input record from the magnetic stripe) can be

divided up into a number of separate fields, according to established

standards (such as ISO, ANSI, AAMVA, and CDL). The data in

each of these fields can then be edited, and new fields can be

defined using the Data Edit commands.

The edited data fields are then transmitted to the host in any order

desired, regardless of their position on the original magnetic stripe.

Functions

The following editing functions can be performed:

Rearrange the Data: The fields within a track, created by established

standards, can be transmitted to the host in any order desired,

regardless of the order in which they occurred in the card track.

Insert Character Strings into the Output Data Record: Character

strings can be defined and inserted at any place in the data output

record.

Duplicate Fields: Fields within a track can be transmitted to the host

as many times as desired, and in any order.

Select Output Fields: Fields within a track can be selected for output

or not selected for output.

ES = End Sentinel

All Tracks = ? (ISO, AAMVA, CA-DMV)

LRC = Longitudinal Redundancy Character

DLE = Data Link Escape
