4. System Requirements / Hardware
4.1. System Structure
The system consists of the Datafox device, the DatafoxStudioIV, the communication DLL and a soft-
ware for processing the generated data.
4.2. Requirements for Operating Datafox Devices
In order to operate the Datafox device, you need a 230 V power connection for the Datafox power
supply. Depending on the main communication set, you need a corresponding transfer medium or
connection cable.
Main communication:
USB one standard USB-A to USB-micro Cable (see the chapter connection USB).
RS485 a transmission path in accordance with the EIA-485 standard (see Connection
RS485).
GSM/GPRS a distortion-free mobile connection (see Connection GSM).
WLAN WiFia distortion-free channel to an access point (802.11 b/g) within reach (see
Connection WLAN).
at least one standard Ethernet cable, no „cross over“ (see Connection TCP)
HTTP (internet) via LAN TCP/IP connection with free internet access. The data are
sent to a server.
Note:
With increasing demands on transfer rate and interference immunity, the demands
on the transmission path increase as well with regard to quality (interference immun-
ity).

4.3. General Hardware Information
4.3.1. Hardware equipment
The devices with hardware V4 are equipped with a flash memory. Depending on the device type or
selected option with 4 or 16 MB.
For the data, the memory is used as a quasi-ring buffer. If the complete ring buffer is written to full
without the data being retrieved, the terminal reports "Memory full", please notify the admin". No fur-
ther data is stored during this time.
Data that has already been read is gradually transferred. The entire memory is always used to mini-
mize the number of accesses per individual memory cell.
An ARM microcontroller with 32-bit technology is used.
Depending on the type of device, the device has a Goldcap capacitor for buffering the time.
This ensures that the watch continues to run correctly for up to one week if the power supply is in-
terrupted.
In other devices, such as EVO 4.3 or PZE-Master V4, a buffer battery is installed in addition to the
capacitor. With this, the watch retains its value for approx. 4 years.
The exact equipment can be found in the last chapter Technical Data.
4.3.2. Behavior in case of power failure
The device boots automatically when the power supply is switched on again.
All data that was not sent or retrieved by the application software before the power failure is stored
on the device.
These are not lost. After booting, this data is available again.
4.3.3. UPS
A corresponding UPS for the V4 hardware is in preparation.
We currently recommend equipping the devices with a POE module if a "UPS" is to be used. Then
connect the devices via a POE switch and supply the switch via a standard UPS.

4.4. Compatibility
The compatibility must be observed urgently between:
-Datafox devices and the device firmware
-Device firmware and device setup
-Device firmware and communication DLL
-Communication DLL and DatafoxStudioIV
-DatafoxStudioIV and device setup
4.4.1. Firmware File Archive (*.dfz)
Description
Device files (*.hex) of the MasterIV devices are delivered in a common firmware file archive. It has
the file extension DFZ (stands for Datafox Zip). Now simply the firmware file archives (*.dfz) are indi-
cated instead of the device files (*.hex). This applies to the DatafoxStudioIV and the DLL. The indi-
cation of device files (*.hex) is still possible.
Function of the Archive
The transfer routine of the device file selects the right file from the firmware file archive on the basis
of the hardware options available in the device. Thus, it is guaranteed that all hardware components
available in the device are supported by the corresponding firmware.
Manual Selection of a File
If you do not want to integrate the archive in your installation, you have the possibility to add single
device files from the archive to the installation.
The file format of the firmware file archive is ZIP. Hence, you can open the archive with every stand-
ard ZIP-program. Via the entry "Open With" in the context menu you can select an appropriate pro-
gram for opening the file. If necessary, you can call up a program combined with this file format to
open the file by renaming the file from DFZ to ZIP.
In the archive you find a file named "Inhalt.pdf"; it contains information which file (*.hex) of the ar-
chive matches your device. Extract the desired device file (*.hex) and rename it if necessary. A re-
naming of a file is possible at any time, because all information are in the file itself.
You can state the device file extracted before as device file in DatafoxStudioIV and at calling the
DLL function. It is still tested if the file can be loaded into the chosen device before the transfer
takes place.
4.4.2. Datafox Devices and Device Firmware
Each Datafox device has an electronic flat module. The module has specific hardware equipment
concerning the options (e.g. mobile radio, WLAN, fingerprint, ...). Due to technical conditions, differ-
ent options are mutually exclusive. Currently, not all hardware options can be supported in one firm-
ware file due to limited program memory. This means that each device with specific hardware op-
tions needs a proper firmware to support the hardware options by the software.
!
Caution:
Hardware generation V 3 is supported from version 04.02.00.x onwards. The Data-
foxStudioIV is compatible up to and including firmware version 04.01.x.y. Older ver-
sions 04.00.x.y are not supported any more.
