CRD13

You can find the DIP switch bank under one of the rectangular black plastic covers at the bottom of the CRD13. The arrow in the drawing above indicates which one.

Auto baudrate When the CRD13 is set to 'autobaudrate', the PC controls the setting of the CRD baudrate controller. In order to be able to do that, the PC uses the DTR and RTS lines. The procedure to set the baudrate is shown below:

  • First pull DTR and RTS high.
  • Reset the CRD13 baudrate controller by pulling RTS low and high again.
  • To select the required baudrate, the DTR line is cycled the requisite number of times while RTS remains high. Each time the DTR line is cycled (pulled low, pulled high) this causes the baudrate to cycle the list above. (See the pulses column)
  • The minimum delay is 15 ms, so keep the level of RTS/DTR steady for at least 15ms.
    CRD13GSM

    CRD13GSM

    The CRD13GSM is a charging and GSM modem cradle for the H13. Data is transmitted to a remote host through a cellular data connection to the Internet. The CRD13GSM must be provisioned with an active SIM card to make a cellular data connection. The CRD13GSM is equipped with an IrDA interface allowing data transfer when the scanner is inserted for charging. H13 applications that wish to communicate with remote hosts over the cellular connection must use the TCP/IP library, provided in this kit.
