Config_Upload/-_Download

Using the "Config_Upload" and "Config_Download" instructions, you can read
("Config_Upload") or write ("Config_Download") the configuration of the RFID181 EIP reader
and RF68xR reader communications modules connected to this controller.
The configuration data is not interpretable data. Save the data on the controller so that it can
be written to the reader again if a device is replaced. Bytes 6-9 (see table below) contain a
configuration ID with a unique version identifier. With the configuration ID, when performing a
"Config_Upload", you can check whether the configuration data read matches the
configuration data stored on the controller.
The configuration data has the following structure:
Table 4- 8
Byte
0
2
6
10 ... end "DATA"
"Config_Upload/Config_Download" can be executed on every channel of the RF68xR. It is
always the same configuration data that is transferred.
