The unique number (UID) of a data carrier is read by the GAT NET.Writer 7000 F/ISO and sent to the computer (host) where it is handled in the same way as standard keyboard input data. Note: The default (factory) setting for the GAT NET.Writer 7000 F/ISO is to operate in Ethernet communication mode. See section “4.6.6. USB Communication Mode Setting” for information on how to change this setting. When operating in USB mode, the GAT NET.Writer 7000 F/ISO can send prefix or postfix data with the UID of a data carrier. The specified data is added to the front (prefix) or end (postfix) of the UID and sent by the GAT NET.Writer 7000 F/ISO when a data carrier is read. A common use of this function is to send an “ENTER” command as postfix data along with the UID, thereby placing the cursor on the following line after the UID is displayed on the computer screen. See section “4.6.7. Prefix / Postfix Settings” for more information. USB communication mode also offers the possibility to send the UID number in decimal or hexadecimal format. See section “4.6.8. UID Format” for more information. See section “3.1. USB Connection” for information on how to connect to a computer via USB. 4.1.1 USB Port Energy Saving Function Most computer operating systems include a function that switches the USB port off to save energy after a defined period of inactivity. If this function is enabled for the USB port where the GAT NET.Writer 7000 F/ISO is connected, the GAT NET.Writer 7000 F/ISO will not operate if the USB port is deactivated. When the USB port is activated again by the computer, the first data carrier read by the GAT NET.Writer 7000 F/ISO may be delayed by approximately 5 seconds as the GAT NET.Writer 7000 F/ISO must initialize the USB connection again. The UID of the next data carrier read by the GAT NET.Writer 7000 F/ISO will be sent instantly to the computer as normal. The USB port energy saving function can be disabled in Windows operating systems and is found here: Right-click on the USB port where the GAT NET.Writer 7000 F/ISO is connected and select “Properties” from the drop-down menu as shown in Figure 4.1 In the “Power Management” tab, you can configure the “Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power” option as required.
