The Out pin can be controlled:
- By sending the instruction [OK0000LL], the relay is turned on for 4 seconds.
- By contextual stack length (number of tags in the detection field): the relay is turned on until the number of
tags in the detection field is higher or equal to the number of expected tags (see commands 26/27 in the
MCHD “Reader Communication & setup protocol” file on our website).
3.3 Power supply and Power Over Ethernet (POE)
The reader is compatible with a POE supply.
There are some securities to allow connecting power supplies to the DC jack, 3 pins connector and POE
simultaneously.
If a correct voltage (9V < V+ < 48V) is present on DC jack or 3 pins block, the reader will use it and disable
POE.
In this case, if DC power is removed, the reader will NOT be supplied until POE restarts.

4.2.1.2 Serial Setting tab
Figure 23: Serial Settings page
The main parameter on this page is the Baud Rate, surrounded with red.
To change it, you must follow the two steps below in the order!
1. Change the SCIEL CARD’s serial speed with ETER software by sending the
command: [13xxRR].
Replace xx by the value you need and RR by your reader’s ID.
For more details, refer to 4.2.2 Setup and test the reader with ETER and 4.3
Configuration commands list.
2. Change the Lantronix module’s speed after changing the SCIEL CARDS’s one.
If you modify the module’s speed before, it won’t be able to communicate with the SCIEL CARD nor tell it to use the
new speed.
In this case, the backup action is to reset the Ethernet module. To do it, please refer to the chapter 3.5.
To apply the new settings, click OK, then Apply Settings and wait for it to finish.

ETER is an abbreviation for ELA Terminal. It’s designed to communicate with ELA’s readers using serial protocols.
Figure 24: ETER v3.0.1
In the black rectangle, you can enter the commands to send to the reader. They will only be sent if the
communication port is open.
To configure the serial or IP port, click Config. See the image below for more details.
Click Connect to open the serial ports and start communicating with the reader.
Figure 25: ETER -> Config
When you click on Config (Figure 24), a setting window shows up (figure above).
Tick the IP box and enter the reader’s IP address (see red rectangle).
Click OK, then Connect (Figure 24) to start the communication.

4.3 Configuration Command List
For a complete list of the ELA’s commands, refer to our Software Datasheet MCHD: Reader Communication & setup
protocol, available on our website : Reader communication protocol - Software Datasheet
All commands have the same syntax:
[AABBCC]
•A command starts by ‘[‘ and finishes by ‘]’
•“AA”: Command number
•“BB”: Command parameter
ohex characters for commands A1 and A3
o2 hex characters for all other commands
•“CC”: Reader ID
oBroadcast to all readers: 00
If the reader understands the command, it will answer [OKAABBCC].
If you want to get some help about a command, replace the closing bracket ‘]’ by ‘?’.
The more important command is: [990101].
It shows the list of all the commands available for the reader, and the actual value for the corresponding
parameters.
You can see below a sample line from the [990101] command:
For example, if you want some help about the speed command, send
[130000? , you will get the answer alongside.
To get the actual speed of the SCIEL CARD, you must send [120001].
It will answer [120001] because we are at 9600 bauds.
To set the SCIEL CARD’s speed to 115200 bauds, you must send
[130401]. The reader will answer [OK130401], but you won’t see it
because the Lantronix module is still at 9600 bauds, so it won’t
understand the SCIEL CARD’s message (this is a particular case;
usually you will get the answer message because the speed stays the
same)
