2. Configure the scanner
The Code RS232 (Serial) Scanner must be configured to work correctly with Gym Assistant.

You can configure the scanner by scanning each one of the 2-D barcodes below in order from top left, top right, bottom left, bottom right.
- Press and hold the trigger as you aim to scan the small square of the first barcode on the top left.
- Once the scanner beeps release the trigger.
- Scan each of the remaining barcodes in order (top right, bottom left, bottom right), pausing for a few seconds between each one.
3. Set up GateKeeper.
In GateKeeper click Settings/ Access Points /Ports.
For “entrance name” type in “Desk”, Entrance Type as “Reader Only”, and Reader Type as “Barcode”.
Click “Find Reader” and scan a keytag. It should indicate which port the scanner was found and will automatically fill the “Reader Serial Port”, click OK.
- With GateKeeper on the screen, scan the barcode of a keytag again.
- If the keytag is assigned to a member that member’s record will appear on GateKeeper and in Gym Assistant.
- If the keytag is not assigned to a member the barcode number will appear in GateKeeper but nothing will be pulled up in Gym Assistant.
4. Assemble the stand
Follow the diagram below.
- Once assembled, position the base of the stand to face the members.
- Insert your scanner into the stand from behind the base with the screen facing the members.
- To scan, present the barcode side of the keytag to the face of the scanner. No need to press the trigger from now on.
