Modify irl.g or hardware?

I would like to make our Intermec 9560 time clock available for badge
scanning only. (No key entry) Is this something done manually to the
hardware or in the irl.g code? In either case, anyone know how?

I see there is DT(1)="M" in the GETBAJ routine. Is it simply changing it to
an "A" for automatic and download? I find nothing in the manuals that
references this.

Thanks,

Dave
 
Dave,

The scanning and communication with the host is driven by the IRL
program... Intermec has an IRL manual (Part Number 048609 the whole language
is about 26 one-letter commands) ... Since we don't use the standard IRL
(and since we have the Symix4 version). I'm afraid I don't know zip about
the GETBAJ routine...

DT(1)="M" is only assigning M to the first element of list T.

To get rid of keyboard input (from my fading memory) take out the K in the V
command like
VSKBDE;2000
becomes
VSBDE;2000

Dave,

We have modified our irl to only allow scan entry of employee badges. The
irl command that controls this is the "V" command. We added the options of
"E" (Edit incoming data), "S" (Scanner or Wand input-no terminal input) and
"B" (Beep after a good input). So the irl command looks like "VESB".
However we are on Symix 4.1 and 9560s. But I think the irl is still the
same for the 9560.

Here is the context.


D$0=""
PP(0)
VESB :Variable-length Alphanumeric Input NC-MOD EDK vesb
GF(1)="N".NCNUM2 :Branch if F3 Allowed
Q$0="F2" :If F2 pressed then Return
:Q$0="F4" :If F4 pressed then Return
G.NCNUM3
.NCNUM2
Q$0="F3"
.NCNUM3

I did the same thing except one step further. I have one scanner for
scanning in and one for scanning out. The scanner has nothing else running
on it except the ability to clock in or out. I have one irl program for
clocking in and one for clocking out. It also locks the keypad and requires
users to use a scan card to scan. We were having a problem with employees
scanning in and out friends who weren't here.
