CRD1004

CRD1004

The CRD-1004 is a charging and communication cradle for the OPH-1004 and OPH-1005. The cradle is equipped with two slots in order to charge both the terminal and a spare battery. The external communication is supported by either an Ethernet or USB interface.

Technical Notes:

• The CRD1004 contains an intermediate CPU inside that interprets the data rather than that it just connects the two interfaces like the CRD1006 does, which means that the timing of the interface signals is different between the CRD1004 and the CRD1006.
• Currently this cradle does not support NetO or OSEComm communications.

Firmware Loading

Follow the directions below to load firmware on to the CRD-1004.

Preparation

1. Download the Firmware: OS, and Appload for this process available in the Software Downloads section. You may also need Opticon's USB Drivers, so please download those as well.
2. Extract the CRD-1004 OS zip file, the Appload.zip file, and the USB Drivers Installer.zip file.
3. Install the USB Drivers Installer by double-clicking the USB Drivers Installer.exe, which will start the install wizard. The default settings for the installer are fine in most cases so press Install, then ok until you are finished.
4. Install Appload by double-clicking the 'Appload Setup.exe' file, which will start the install wizard. The defaults are fine in most cases, so keep clicking 'Next' until you are finished. Appload will launch at the end of the install process.
5. Connect the CRD-1004 to your PC via the USB cable and make sure the power adaptor is plugged in as well.

Install the Firmware

1. Launch Appload if it is not already running.
2. We first need to choose the correct COM port. From the main Appload window, select 'Settings' > 'Port', then choose the port that says 'Opticon OPL/CRD USB Serial Port'.
3. Now we can start downloading the OS. For the Firmware: OS you downloaded and extracted above, please choose 'File', then 'Download', then navigate to and select the file. You should see a progress indicator and the words 'Initializing IRdA' if this is working.
4. When complete Appload will prompt you with a download complete message. When you see this message, the process is complete.

To access the network settings:

1. Make sure the ethernet cable, power cord and USB cable is plugged into the cradle before proceeding.
2. Open up Appload and select the correct COM Port by going to Settings > Port > Opticon OPL/CRD USB Serial Port.
3. Click on Utilities > Show RS232 Data.

Change IP Address To Static

To set static address enter Network settings mode and press 3

Type in something like 10.10.10.10

As seen below:
<LF>Enter a menu choice (1-0): 3 <CR>
<CR>
<LF>Default IP Address (172<NUL>.30<NUL>.xxx<NUL>.xx<NUL>): 10.10.10.10

After this the address should be changed. To confirm this press 1 to check the current settings on the device. As displayed below:

<LF>Firmware Version: NBGV0105<CR>
<LF>Bootloader Version: NAGV0100<CR>
<LF>Board name: OSE_ETHERNET <NUL><CR>
<LF>MAC Address: 00-12-6A-00-1C-35<CR>
<LF>Local IP Address: 10<NUL>.10<NUL>.10<NUL>.10<NUL><CR>
