OVERVIEW
To meet
the demands for downloading and recharging several readers, MacSema has designed
and manufactures the Multi-Dock DownLoader/Recharger. Up to 16 mini-docks (DMS2S) can be connected to each master
controller (DMMM0). And because up to 16 masters can be connected together, you can actually communicate with up to 256 readers. The entire Multi-Dock network can be connected to a PC,
notebook, modem or printer using only one serial cable.
Standard
features include: fast/trickle charge; status indicator lights; transfer data
from only one mini-dock at a time (which prevents "collisions" during communication); auto-configuration
of masters and minis (confusing dip switches are non-existent). The
master/mini-dock combination provides these additional benefits: the battery
voltage of each reader can be monitored by the host computer; programmable LED's are a standard part of each
mini-dock ( they indicate each dock's status and whether it is transmitting, receiving or recharging); discharge/recharge cycling
is automatic throughout; readers can only be reset by software on the host computer, resulting in higher data security. MacSema
offers a range of downloader/recharger products including the Micro
DownLoader,
Single-Station DownLoader/Recharger, and the S-10 Recharger (recharges up to 10 readers at one time).
