1 Introduction
The individual command set of a readers or decoders manufactured by AEG ID base on standardized com-
mand sets, that are specific to each class of readers/decoders. This standardized command sets are desig-
nated as ASB, which means AEG ID Standardized Command Set. The standardized command sets make it
possible to use different hardware components (within a class of readers/decoders) without modification of
the software application.
The command set of the ARE K1 is compatible to the ASB 1.0. Beyond it the ARE K1 RS232 is provided
with a special command for self-diagnosis and extended parameter settings as well.
The difference between the command set of the ARE K1 and the ASB 1.0 is made quite clear at the rele-
vant subjects in this description.

• Operating mode 1(external mode) - reader is externally triggered
• Operating type 2 (command mode)- reader is triggered by serial interface
