2 Startup and testing the reader
• Connect the reader with the USB interface from your notebook or pc
• The reader is supplied via the USB interface. The supply differs depending on the used port. To
reach the maximal reading distance a powerfull supply is essential. A USB hub with its own
power supply can deliver this.
• In the device manager there will appear a new device (AEG ID Communications Port)
• In the brackets you see the port number of the device (e.g. COM5)
• Open the “Demo Terminal“ on the CD
• Open the menu “Settings”
• You have to set the following settings: baud rate 19200 baud, 8 data bits, no parity, 1 stop bit, ,
no flow control.
• Send the command „VER <CR>“ to the reader. The reader answers with the actual firmware
version (e.g. AEG ID Multi-ISO V2.034).
• Send the command “MD <SP> 0 <CR>” to the reader. The reader sends No Read messages
(XXXXXXXX), while there is no transponder in the antenna field available (if CN parameter ist
0). If there is a transponder present in the antenna field the reader sends its serial.
3 AEG ID instruction set
3.1 General
The command set described below defines the transfer of data on the serial interface.
The commands consist of a command code and optionally of a parameter value. Commands are ter-
minated by the control character <CR> (0Dh). The control character serves as command line termi-
nator.
Command codes and parameters,including all letters and numerical values, are principally transmit-
ted as a sequence of ASCII characters (the value 255 (decimal) consequently as 32H, 35H, 35H; the
command RST as 52H, 53H, 54H).
