VTAP PRO in Local mode settings
A list of valid configuration settings relating to the VTAP PRO, which you may notice or need to use when in Local mode, in the config.txt file.
CloudMode and CloudTapMode are factory settings which control whether a VTAP PRO reader needs to make an IP‑connection to the VTAP Cloud for management and/or tap processing. The alternative to Cloud Mode is Local Mode where a VTAP Cloud connection is not needed.
Note: The optional VTAP100 PRO I/O expansion board (VTAP100-PRO-EXP1) is required to use PassRelay and TagRelay settings.
Commands below:
CloudMode | CloudTapMode | PassRelay | TagRelay
Definition:
A factory setting which determines whether a VTAP PRO reader needs to make an IP‑connection to the VTAP Cloud for configuration and processing of tap data (Cloud mode) or whether configuration and processing of tap data is exclusively local to the VTAP reader (Local mode).
Options:
=0 default value selects Local mode (only an option for VTAP100‑PRO‑BW readers)
=1 will be the factory setting for a VTAP PRO reader sold in Cloud mode, for use with VTAP Cloud
Default value: =0
Example value: =1
Definition:
A factory setting which determines whether a VTAP PRO reader sends tap data to the VTAP Cloud for processing. (Contact vtap‑support@dotorigin.com if you need help formatting tap data in the correct way for processing.)
Options:
=0 selects tap processing locally on the VTAP reader. Tap data is not sent to VTAP Cloud.
=1 is the factory setting for a VTAP PRO reader sold in Cloud mode, when tap processing is to be handled in the VTAP Cloud.
=2 permits tap data to be sent to a custom URL for tap processing.
Default value: =1
Example value: =0
Definition:
Controls either of the two relays on the VTAP100-PRO in Local mode in response to a successful pass read
Options:
Syntax required is:
PassRelay=<relay_num> <action>[=param1[,param2][…]] [action[=params]]
<relay_num> is currently either 0 or 1 to refer to the two available relays
<action> can be one or more in a series of actions, as required, each separated by a space.
Actions can be one of:
on
off
timed=ontime[,offtime][,count]
delay=<time in ms>
If the off time is not specified, the on time is used. If the count is not specified, 1 is used.
Delay is in milliseconds but can specify time in seconds or minutes with 's' or 'm'.
Default value: N/A
Example value:
PassRelay=0 timed=6000
;Switch ON relay 0 for 6000ms
Definition:
Controls either of the two relays on the VTAP100-PRO in Local mode in response to a successful card/tag read
Options:
Syntax required is:
TagRelay=<relay_num> <action>[=param1[,param2][…]] [action[=params]]
<relay_num> is currently either 0 or 1 to refer to the two available relays
<action> can be one or more in a series of actions, as required, each separated by a space.
Actions can be one of:
on
off
timed=ontime[,offtime][,count]
delay=<time in ms>
If the off time is not specified, the on time is used. If the count is not specified, 1 is used.
Delay is in milliseconds but can specify time in seconds or minutes with 's' or 'm'.
Default value: N/A
Example value:
TagRelay=1 timed=1000,1000,2
;Switch ON relay 1 for 1000ms on, 1000ms off, repeated twice
