M-ID10W - Ethernet TCP Socket
Currently on M-ID10W, there are two Ethernet cable communication models, being Ethernet TCP Socket and Ethernet URL Post where each model is used for a specific application.
Module Identification
In case of doubt, you can identify which ethernet model of your reader, through the settings interface.
When it is TCP Socket, a button will be available on the "General Parameters" page to restore the module settings.
If your reader is an URL Post model, a tab with the settings for the Ethernet connection via cable will be available.
TCP Socket Ethernet Module
This model is used for end-to-end communication through the TCP/IP method, in this way it sends readings and receives commands from the software in which it is applied, as shown in the following example.
| Operation | Command |
|---|---|
| Start reading | ;start_reader; |
| Finish reading | ;stop_reader; |
| Searches recorded readings on SD card | ;getTagSDCard; |
| Get status Entry 1 | ;getInput1Status; |
| Get Status Entry 2 | ;getInput2Status; |
| Turn on relay output | ;out_on; |
| Turn off relay output | ;out_off; |
| Set Power (1 to 26 dBm) | ;set_power=1...26; |
Commands must be surrounded by semicolons (;).
*To request the buffer or the SD card, the readings need to be done in Active Mode*.
To be able to use this communication is very simple, you just need a network cable connected, on one side the reader and on the other your computer.
Using this ethernet model, it is possible to perform some communication configurations for specific cases, through the "USR-MO" software, available on our restricted page.
When downloaded and opened press the "Search Device" button, then double click on the module of your choice.
It is possible to restore these settings, on the M-ID10W access page, this option is found on the "General Parameters" page with the name "Reset ethernet settings", even so, we recommend not changing the BaudRate, as this interferes with communication with the module, thus making it difficult to restore it to factory defaults.
Warning
Despite having an ethernet cable connection, the TCP Socket model does not communicate via the internet.
