To use the barcode scanner in vistrax, you initially need to set up the device. A new barcode scanner is not listed in the vistrax configuration as a supported device, because the device operates in an incompatible mode. The setup is done via printed control barcodes, which must be scanned in a specified sequence. The successful processing of a barcode is confirmed with acoustical signals.
Preliminary
If the swivel base stand is mounted on the barcode scanner, you should now tip the barcode scanner forward to facilitate scanning later. This also favors the optional display of the green target point (for activation, see step F below).

Step-by-Step Guide
1. Install vistrax with barcode scanner support
The current USB driver can be found here: Datalogic - Magellan 1100i Product Page
Note: As an alternative to downloading via the manufacturer link listed above, you can download a driver version tested with vistrax from our web server: Datalogic - Magellan 1100i Driver (Date: 16.01.2018 - Version 6.3.2)
2. Connect the barcode scanner to an USB port
The driver configures itself automatically. If the barcode scanner is not available within vistrax or can not be initialized, so try a different COM port first. In order to avoid later reconfiguration of vistrax, you should always operate the barcode scanner on the same USB port.
If the barcode scanner does not work properly after this setup step, please check if the correct COM port in the corresponding vistrax settings menu has been selected before proceeding to the next step. Also note the following advices.
Note: We recommend connecting the barcode scanner to the PC's own USB port. If a USB HUB is used, it should have its own power source in order to avoid communication problems between vistrax and the bar code scanner. Such problems are expressed by the following error: 'Invalid or incorrect barcode format'.
Note: With vistrax Version 2.0.10 also COM ports from COM10 are supported. In previous versions, only COM1-COM9 can be used. The following connection settings must be strictly respected: Bits per second 9600, Data bits 8, Parity None, Stop bits 1, Flow control None
3. Optional: Provide the control bar codes in front of the barcode scanner
Please make sure to only follow this step if the barcode scanner does not work as desired.
Always wait until the acoustic signals sound. If this is not the case, disconnect the barcode scanner from the USB port, reconnect it, and begin configuring immediately. Be sure to follow the order exactly. The barcodes should be kept quickly in front of the scanner.
A: START-END
Magellan Port Devices Driver
B: USB-COM
C: NO-BEEP
D: Disable GOOD-READ-CONTROL
E: Enable BEEP-ON-NOT-ON-FILE
F (optional): Enable AIMING-POINT
Green target point display as an aiming aid (instead of factory setting no aiming point)
G (optional): Change SLEEP-TIMEOUT
1 minute (instead of factory setting 10 minutes)
H: START-END
The driver is configured now. You can manually configure the barcode scanner in vistrax later.
Note: If the device is not listed in vistrax even if the initial setup is done, repeat the process and restart the computer. If necessary, reset the device to factory settings before running the initial setup.
Reset to Factory Settings
You can reset the barcode scanner to factory settings with the following barcode sequence.
First disconnect the barcode scanner from the USB port, and then reconnect it.
A: START-END
B: USB-OEM
C: START-END
D: RESET
The driver is configured now. For operation with vistrax the initial setup has to be done again.
Note: In order to enable visitors to automatically Check-In / Check-Out after the scanning process of their badge, the options 'Auto Check-In' / 'Auto Check-Out' in the visitor's data stored in vistrax have to be activated. Otherwise, vistrax will require confirmation from the recipient after each scan.
Signal tones (beeps) and their meanings
Depending on the situation, the Magellan 1100i emits up to three consecutive beeps that have different meanings:
- 1x Beep Manual or automatic Check-Out scan was successfully confirmed.
- 2x Beep Manual or automatic Check-In scan was successfully confirmed.
- 3x Beep / Long buzzing soundThis can have different reasons: Unknown visit, insufficient rights or error message. First, check whether the affected visitor, or the visitor's assigned company has access rights. If this is the case, check whether the scanned visitor is assigned to another mandator. If the above points do not apply, check the settings of the barcode scanner, as this error message can also indicate a general error.
Note: If you do not hear the indicated numbers of beeps, it may be due to a newer device model of the barcode scanner. Please execute the initial setup again in this case (steps A-H).
