provides an easy and flexible method of wall mounting without additional mechanical
hardware.
The MR350MKII is well suited for the following applications:
?? Time and attendance
?? Loyalty
?? Shop floor control and reporting
?? Access control
?? Job status and tracking
?? Library application
?? General data collection
This manual gives you detailed information about the characteristics of hardware
components, an introduction to the MR350MKII system kernel structure, the principle of
communications protocol, operation of supervisor mode, site preparation and installation
and command set summary for I/O function calls, DOS management function calls, File
management function calls and Host ESC commands.
Throughout this manual [X] will be used to represent the key which has legend 'X' on the
keypad. "ABC" will be used to represent the sequence of key-presses for 'A','B',and 'C'. The
MR350MKII system uses the block and underscore cursor to represent if keyboard is in
either numeric or alphabetic mode. Press the [SHIFT] key to toggle numeric and alphabetic
mode. For example, in the block cursor mode, press the [1/QZ.] key to display '1'. In the
underscore cursor mode, press the [1/QZ.] key to display the first character 'Z'.

System Kernel
3.1.
Application Programming Interface
The MR350MKII kernel includes three basic modules: device driver, file manager
and DOS manager. The programmer can design the application programs by calling
those available functions just as in the PC DOS environment.
The ROM based operating system of the terminal provides emulated MS/DOS
function calls. The calling and parameter passing conventions are identical to that of
MS/DOS. A detailed description of the functions supported by the Terminal's
subsystems, I/O interface, DOS manager and File manager are listed in appendixes A
and B.
The software to be run on the MR350MKII may be programmed by using 16bits
Microsoft C/C++ or Borland C/C++, and the IBM PC macro assembler version 1.0
and later versions. Transaction data can be processed interactively with the
computer or stored in a file.
NOTE when using Microsoft C/C++ :
When program execution area is assigned less than 64K (see section 4.3) and a
program of more than 64K is run, a run time error message, "Not enough space for
environment", will be shown. In this case add following statements in main:
/* mypgm.c */
_setenvp()
{
}
main()
{...
...
...
}
and link with: >LINK /NOE mypgm
3.2.
Keypad Subsystem
The keypad subsystem scans the key matrix, converts the scan code to its associated
key value, and stores the value in the keyboard input buffer for program utilization.
Note that the [SHIFT] key is not stored in the buffer, it is used to distinguish the
alphabetic and numeric mode of associated key positions and provide an alternative
key code. The following table shows the key values of each key.

3.4.
Communications Subsystem
The MR350MKII terminal communication subsystem consists of

1) point-to-point connection mode and
2) multi-point connection mode for network processing.
3.4.1. Point-to-point mode
Either RS-232 or RS-485 ports can be used in point-to-point mode.
Each port can be configured for input or output data by making DOS
calls. To transfer files, a Kermit server can be invoked by selecting
option 3) COM in the user command menu or by typing COM in
the Ready prompt and a Kermit utility should also be run on the
Host side in order to complete the data connection.
3-40
3.4.2. Multi-point mode

Either RS-232 or RS-485 ports can be also used in multi-point mode.
When an RS-485 port is assigned to serve in multi-point mode, up to
32 terminals can be accessed per channel, when the RS-232 port is
selected, the number of accessible terminals is limited by the number
of available RS-232 ports on the host computer. There is also a
multi-point communication protocol built into the MR350MKII for
data communication in multi-point networking.
3.5.
Real time clock subsystem
This subsystem allows the program to set and read the system date and time of the
MR350MKII.
3.6.
Relay output and Digital input subsystem
The MR350MKII supports two contact relay ports and four photocoupler input
ports for digital signal input/output control, where pins #11/12 and pins #13/14 can
also be assigned to the RS-232, and barcode scanner port (see Terminal Block
Adapter on page 2-19).
3.7.
Bar code / Magnetic stripe / Wiegand / Smart card
The MR350MKII has two ports for connecting four different interface reader. One
of the two ports, as scanner port, is dedicated to bar code reading via bar code wand,
CCD, laser diode scanner, bar code slot reader, and the terminal supports reading of
Code 39, Code 128, Codabar, Interleaved 2 of 5, UPC and EAN. Please be noted,
the secondary magnetic stripe reader besides the built-in one, is only valid on
connecting to the terminal block adapter.
NOTE:
The CCD , laser diode scanner and barcode wand are only supported
when connected through the scanner port. If terminal block pins
#13/14 are set to scanner port, only the barcode wand or the slot
reader are supported.
The other port, as build-in reader port, is mainly designed for connecting a card
reader for bar code, magnetic stripe, proximity and smart card reader. The proximity
reader can be magnetic stripe reader(MSR) interface or wiegand interface, it up to
customers choice. MR350MKII only can support single track 1, 2 or 3 magnetic
card stripe. These two ports can work at the same time.
3-41
NOTE:
Please be noted, the MR350MKII can automatically detect the type of
badge reader. If a different type of build-in reader is selected, the first
attempt of reading the card will be used to detect the right type and the
data will not be accepted. If a right type is selected, the first attempt of
swiped data will be accepted immediately.

Communication Control Table of Host port
The communication control table is applicable to configure the host port of the
MR350MKII.
The communication control table specifies all communication parameters between
the host system and the MR350MKII. When a hard reset command is issued via
keypad input or host command sequence the default communication parameters are
restored. The host system may then configure most MR350MKII parameters by
issuing host command sequences. The host command sequences will be listed later in
appendix B.
typedef struct {
BYTE baud_rate;
BYTE stop_bit;
BYTE data_bit;
BYTE parity;
BYTE protocol;
BYTE address;
WORD time-out;
} COM_CONFIG;
The MR350MKII terminal communicates with the host via the host
port. The communication baud rate may be programmed from 110
to 38.4K baud (bits per second).
baud_rate:
'0'
'1'
'2'
'3'
'4'
'5'
'6'
'7'
'8'
'9'
= 110 bits per second

= 150
= 300
= 600
= 1200
= 2400
= 4800
= 9600 (default)
= 19200
= 38400
stop_bit:
'1'
'2'
= one stop bit (default)

= two stop bits
data_bit:
'7'
'8'
= 7 data bits
= 8 data bits (default)
parity:
'N'
'O'
'E'
= None parity (default)

= Odd parity
= Even parity
protocol:
'M'
'F'
= Multipoint (default)
= None protocol
4-49
address:
'A'
= terminal address ID for Multipoint mode

(default)
Each MR350MKII must be assigned a unique

communication address when it is used in a
Multipoint environment. The address is used by a
host or concentrator to perform polling functions.
Characters 'A'-'Y' and '0'-'6' are used for assigning an
address ID of each terminal.
time-out:
'02'
= polling time-out two cycle periods

(default).
'02'-'FF' in hex format.
The value of this setting is specified for the

communication time-out. If the MR350MKII does
not receive a response from the host system within
the number of time-out cycle periods, the
MR350MKII regards the communication as
unsuccessful and the transmission is then aborted. If
the time-out value is set to zero, no time-out check is
performed by the MR350MKII.
4.5.
Terminal Control Table (available for host port only)
The terminal control table is meaningful only if the MR350MKII operation switch is
set to "terminal mode". All other operational modes ignore the terminal control
table.
The terminal control table is defined by the following typedef
TERM_CONFIG. There is only one instance of the
TERM_CONFIG data structure:
typedef struct { char terminal_id[8]; /* terminal id */
BYTE
online;
BYTE
echo;
BYTE
autolf; /* auto LF */
BYTE
mode;
BYTE
linepage; /* line or page block */
BYTE
lineterm; /* line terminator */
BYTE
pageterm;/* page terminator */
} TERM_CONFIG;
Each MR350MKII "terminal" is identified by an ASCII string. There
can be up to seven characters in a terminal identification string. The
4-50
identification entry in the TERM_CONFIG table must be terminated

by a character, ASCII_Z (hex 0), as in C language convention.
online:
'R'
= set to Remote and transmit data to the
host port (default)
'L'
= set to Local and do not transmit
echo:
'N'
= set to Echo and transmit displayed data to
the host port
'F'
= do not transmit
The above two variables, TERM_online and
TERM_echo, are used to control transmission and
display of the collected data, respectively. If
TERM_online is set to Remote the MR350MKII will
transmit data to the host, otherwise it will not
transmit. If TERM_echo is set to Echo collected data
will be displayed on the MR350MKII LCD,
otherwise data will not be displayed.
autolf:
'N'
= set not to append a LF after a CR
'F'
= set to append a LF (default)

This variable instructs the MR350MKII to append a
LF character whenever a CR is collected from an
input scanning device.
mode:
'C'
= set to Character mode
'B'
= set to Block mode (default)

This parameter specifies either character mode or
block
mode
free-format
operation.
The
aforementioned form caching operation is only
applicable when the MR350MKII is set in block
mode.
linepage:
'L'
'P'
'B'
= set line block mode (default)

= set page block mode
= set both line and page block modes
The linepage parameter is useful only if mode has
been specified as 'B'.
lineterm:
designates the termination character of line

block mode (default = null)
pageterm:
designates the termination character of page

block mode (default = null)

Host Communication and ESC commands

There are three classes of host communication activities:
(1)
Host Sends Control/Configuration Commands to the MR350MKII

Almost all MR350MKII configurations and operations may be controlled by
the host system via control commands. Configuration commands are used to
set up system tables such as the communication control table. Control
commands are used to abort MR350MKII operations, reset the
MR350MKII, instruct the MR350MKII to execute an application program,
or perform other functions related to operations.
Configuration commands are normally issued by the host system during the
initialization process. Control commands, however, may be issued at any
time during normal operation or during a recovery action.
(2)
Host Requests Data from the MR350MKII

Two kinds of data are usually requested by the host system: MR350MKII
system data and application data. Application data is the information which is
input through keyboard or bar code scanning, system data is the information
which is pertinent only to MR350MKII executives, e.g. file names, system
parameters, etc. The MR350MKII transmits data depending on the protocol
used.
(3)
File Transfers Between the Host and the MR350MKII

Executable files and data files are downloaded to the MR350MKII from the
host or uploaded to the host from the MR350MKII. File transfers may use a
special file transfer protocol to move data in a point-to-point or multi-point
connection.
In the following sections we will first discuss the host communication commands and
briefly describe their functions. Then we will examine in detail the protocol for each
function.
5.1.
General Control Commands
1.
Hard Reset ( ESC H )

A hard reset command clears all the MR350MKII RAM memory content. It
performs tests on all major hardware devices. Programs or data that have
previously accumulated in the MR350MKII or previously been downloaded
5-52
by the host will be purged from the memory. Default system parameters are
restored from the EPROM.
The hard reset command does not have any parameter or value. The
equivalent keypad invoking sequence is entering the supervisor mode and
selecting an initialization command.
2.
Abort ( ESC A )
Abort is the "soft reset" command. The MR350MKII terminates its
execution and returns to ready mode. Programs and data that have been
stored in the MR350MKII RAM space are preserved. The system
parameters remain unchanged. The abort command does not have any
parameters or values. The equivalent keypad invoking sequence is pressing
the [SHIFT] and [F5/*] keys at the same time.
3.
Execute ( ESC X filename )

The host system may instruct the MR350MKII to execute a program which
resides in the MR350MKII RAM. The host issues the execute command
with the executable program name as its parameter. The MR350MKII
acknowledges with an ACK response if the program exists and starts
execution.
The execute command has one parameter, the file name. The execute
command can also be invoked via the MR350MKII workstation menu.
4.
Directory ( ESC D )
The directory command instructs the MR350MKII to return a list of
available files in the RAM of the MR350MKII. The directory command has
no parameters. The directory command can also be invoked via the
MR350MKII workstation menu. When invoked from the keypad the
directory is listed on the LCD display.
5.
Erase ( ESC E filename )

The erase command deletes a file from the MR350MKII RAM. An ACK
response will be given if the file existed and was deleted, otherwise an NAK
response is generated by the MR350MKII. The erase command has one
parameter, the file name. The erase command can also be invoked via the
MR350MKII workstation menu.
6.
Autoboot ( ESC O program name )

This command defines an autoboot program name in the MR350MKII. The
autoboot program will be executed automatically each time the power is
turned OFF and ON.
7.
Password ( ESC P password )

To create or edit a supervisor password.
5-53
8.
Get RAM size (ESC G)

Get the MR350MKII? total RAM size, program execution memory, and
free memory available for RAM disc.
9.
Get filename of currently executing program (ESC I filename)

When the <ESC I> command is received by the MR350MKII, the system
will respond with the current executing program name or report that no
program is running.
10.
Check file existed and files size(ESC J filename)

Check if the file is existed on MR350MKII or not. If file is exist, it will return
its size
11.
Set keyboard locking (ESC K state)

Set the MR350MKII? keyboard locking state. There are three states
allowed: UNLOCK, LOCK, or PARTIAL LOCK.
12.
Change terminal address ID (ESC 5 ID)

Assign a new terminal address ID to the terminal. Once the terminal address
ID changes, it will take effect immediately without having to reset the
terminal.
13.
Deactivate UPS (ESC F)

Deactivate the UPS on MR350. Once the command is sent, the UPS will not
activate and support the power to the terminal during the main power is
outage. This command is useful when the terminal is under maintenance or
not used for long period.
14.
Loopback test (ESC 9)

The loopback test is used for testing the line communication. The testing
program run on host sends this command with test data to terminal and
terminal echoes back the data to be verified by the program.
5-54
15.
Buzzer Volume (ESC N)

This command can remote changing MR350MKII's buzzer sound.
16.
Supervisor password (ESC P)

This command can remote changing MR350MKII's buzzer sound.
17.
Get terminal ID (ESC R)

This commcand can get terminal ID. The default terminal ID is "MR350"
18.
Get terminal ID and version no (ESC v)

This commcand can get terminal ID and version no. The default terminal ID
is "MR350 V4.xx".
5.2.
Configuration Commands
Configuration commands from the host always follow the standard host command
sequence: ESC, cmd, table. The cmd field actually specifies the object to be
configured. The table field contains the data organized in a pre-defined format.
1.
Terminal Configuration ( ESC T )

The terminal configuration command has the following format:
ESC T termtable
This command takes the data structure "termtable" from the host and writes
it to the MR350MKII internal terminal control table. The structure within
"termtable" must conform to the TERM_CONFIG typedef (see section 4.5
on page 4-50) specified in the previous section.
The new terminal control table takes effect immediately after the ESC T
command has been successfully received.
2.
Communication Configuration ( ESC C )

The communication configuration command has the following format:
ESC C comtable
This command takes the data structure "comtable" from the host and writes
it to one of the two MR350MKII internal communication control tables. The
structure within "comtable" must conform to the COM_CONFIG typedef
(see section 4.4 on page 4-49) specified in the previous section.
The new communication control table takes effect immediately after the ESC
C command has been successfully received. The MR350MKII will
5-55
reinitialize the corresponding communication port with its new parameters.

For example, if ESC C instructs the RS-232 port to change the baud rate
from 9600 to 1200 the MR350MKII will switch to 1200 right after the ESC
C command has been received. The next host communication will use 1200
baud.
3.
Device Configuration ( ESC V )

The device configuration command has the following format:
ESC V devtable
This command takes the data structure "devtable" from the host and writes it
to the MR350MKII internal device control table. The structure of "devtable"
must conform to the DEV_CONFIG typedef (see section 4.1 on page 4-47)
specified in the previous section.
The new device control table takes effect immediately after the ESC V
4.
Date/Time Configuration ( ESC M )

The date/time configuration command has the following format:
ESC M datetime
This command allows the host system to initialize the MR350MKII real time
clock function. The parameter datetime is an ASCII character string with the
following interpretations: yyyymmddhhmmss.
The first four characters represent the year. The next two characters
represent the month, where January is 01. The fields after the month field
represent the day of the month, hour (24 hour format), minute, and second,
respectively.
For example, command ESC M 199009262345 will initialize the
MR350MKII clock to September 26, 1990. The time is 11:45 PM. The
MR350MKII reconfigures the real time clock chip as soon as the ESC M
5.3.
File Transfer Commands
1.
Download ( ESC L filename )

The download command is used to transfer a binary executable program or
data file from the host system to the MR350MKII. When the MR350MKII
receives the download command it sends an ACK response back to the host
and immediately puts itself into a file receiving state. The file receiving state
is determined by a pre-assigned host protocol Kermit. The host system may
start transmission of the file as soon as the ACK response has arrived.
5-56
The download command has one parameter, the file name. Download can
also be invoked via the MR350MKII workstation menu.
The upload command performs the opposite function of the download
command. It is normally used to transfer a data file from the MR350MKII to
the host system. This is the typical means of retrieving collected data in
workstation mode.
2.
Upload ( ESC U filename )

When the MR350MKII receives an upload command it puts itself in file
transmission state and starts sending the designated data file. The file transfer
protocol is determined by a pre-assigned host protocol Kermit. The host
system waits for the arrival of the data file after it sends out the upload
command.
The upload command has one parameter, the file name. The upload
command can also be invoked via the MR350MKII workstation menu.
5.4.
Multipoint Protocol
In Multipoint operation the MR350MKII uses an asynchronous serial
multi-drop protocol for communication with the host computer. Note that to
make this protocol operable an RS-232 to RS-485 converter is needed
between the host and the MR350MKII. The terminal protocol consists of
commands and responses of the following format:
Symbol
Description
=>
Transmission from host to terminal
<=
Transmission from terminal to host
ADDR Terminal address (A-Y,0-6) + 80H

CMD
Network command to terminal, 2 bytes, A-F,0-9
CS1
Checksum, first byte
CS2
Checksum, second byte
The checksum is calculated by adding each byte of the transmission, ADDR,

and length of data block (excluding STX and ETX). CS1 is high nibble (4
bits) +40H and CS2 is low nibble +40H.
Example: Command to load the file named A.EXE
STX ESC L A . E X E CS1 CS2 ADDR
Data block
= ESC L A . E X E (excluding STX)
5-57
Length of data block = 7

CS
= ESC + L + A + . + E + X + E + ADDR + 7
CS1
= high nibble of CS + 40H
CS2
= low nibble of CS + 40H
The ASCII data characters and their values are as follows:

STX
0x02
ETX
0x03
ACK 0x06
NAK 0x15
DC1
0x11
ESC
0x1B
EOT
0x04
The maximum frame size including protocol control characters is 128 bytes.
Transparent transmission of protocol control characters STX and ETX is
achieved by preceding them with a '\' (backslash) character. Transparent
transmission of the '\' character is achieved by sending two '\' characters
consecutively.
Rule of data convention during data transmission:

1)
One-byte data converted to two-byte data

\
convert to
\\
00 hex -- 1F hex
convert to
\ 80 hex -- \ 9F hex
A0 hex -- FF hex
convert to
\ 20 hex -- \ 7F hex
(excluding DC hex)
2)
one-byte data transmitted as original data without converting

other codes
unchanged

5.4.1. Protocol Operation

The terminal protocol operates as a multi-point stop and wait
protocol. A station sends only one frame and then stops and waits for
a response.
The following scenarios typify link transmissions:
* Terminal has no data for the host:
=> STX ADDR
<= EOT - if no data is ready for transmission
* Terminal has data for the host:
=> STX ADDR
<= STX <data> CS1 CS2 ETX - if data is ready
=> ACK
- if data is received correctly, or
NAK
- if an error has occurred
* The host sends a command to and receives a response from
the terminal in one poll cycle; it then acknowledges receipt of
the terminal command response:
=>
<=
<=
=>
STX, CMD, parms, ... CS1, CS2, ADDR

ACK - if data is received correctly and no response is
required, or
NAK - if an error occurred or if there is response data
to be sent.
Command response and data:
ACK - if a command response was sent from the
terminal and received correctly by the host, or
NAK - if an error occurred in the command response
5-59
5.4.2. Example Using Host ESC Command

The following commands are supported for download, diagnostic,
and application data transfers. Each command and its parameters
will be framed as shown before being transmitted; responses have the
same format without the ADDR fields.
STX, CMD, parms, ... CS1, CS2, ADDR
Example:
ESC H - Hard Reset and initiate power on test
=>
<=
STX ESC H CS1 CS2 ADDR

ACK or NAK

6.1.
Hard Reset
The MR350MKII can be hard reset (Cold Boot) by pressing [3] while turning on
power. Since the MR350MKII doesnt provide a power on/off switch, it is
suggested to hard reset the terminal by use of option INIT in supervisor mode
(refer to next chapter) or host ESC command (more details in appendix B). All
system parameters will be reset to factory default values and all programs and data
stored in RAM will be cleared after a "Cold Boot"
All data stored in RAM of the terminal is backed up by a lithium battery, all the
system parameters, programs, and data will be preserved as they were before
powering down unless a Cold Boot is made.
6.2.
Operating Modes
There are two MR350MKII operating modes: Ready mode and Supervisor mode.
The Ready mode can be entered after turning on the MR350MKII's power or by
pressing [SHIFT] in conjunction with [F5/*] to abort from the application and return
to ready mode. The Supervisor mode can only be entered by authorized personnel
after entering the correct password.

6.10. File Transfer Mode

The terminal provides a built-in file transfer utility which uses Kermit protocol.
When the host port is assigned to serve through the built-in file transfer utility, the
download/upload communication can be made through a built-in Kermit server in
the MR350MKII system. The physical RS-232 or RS-422/485 port is selected as the
device setting in the supervisor mode. The operator may set the terminal to Kermit
server mode by typing COM in Ready mode or by selecting item 3) in the user
command menu. The following screen will be shown when entering Kermit server
mode:
SERVER MODE
Then the operator should run Kermit communication software on the Host PC. The
proper communication parameters should also be defined in the Kermit parameter
file, i.e. mskermit.ini. When using Kermit server mode to download a file, the cable
for linking the Terminal and Host must have the CTS and RTS wires connected.
After file transfer in Kermit server mode, press [SHIFT] in conjunction with [F5/*]
to return to Ready mode.
