ACG HF Multi ISO RFID Reader V1.0
ACG Identification Technologies GmbH 48
12.3.3 Station ID (0Ah)
The station ID is used in binary mode to address a device in party line set up. The
station ID can range from 01h to FEh and can be set freely. The value 00h is
reserved for the bus master. All readers send their response to this device.
The broadcast message (FFh) forces all readers to response to the command.
Default value is 01h.
12.3.4 Protocol configuration (0Bh)
The protocol configuration register (PCON) specifies general behavior of the reader
device.
Default value is 41h.

12.3.4.1 Auto start (default 1)
If set, the reader device will start up in continuous read mode automatically.
This is only valid in ASCII mode.
12.3.4.2 Protocol (default 0)
If Protocol is set to ‘1’, then the reader uses binary protocol mode. Refer to binary
protocol for further information on the binary protocol format.
Default setting = ASCII protocol (0).
12.3.4.3 Multitag (default 0)
The Multitag flag will enable multi-tag recognition in continuous read mode. All tags
are detected and displayed. Due to the more complex search algorithm, the
continuous read command decreases its detection speed.
12.3.4.4 New Serial Mode (default 0)
If New Serial Mode is set to ‘1’, new serial mode is enabled. The leading character
‘M’ is added to the serial number of ISO 14443 type A tags, a leading 'Z' character is
added to ISO 14443 type B tags and a leading 'S' character for SR176 tags.
12.3.4.5 LED (default 0)
If set the reader suppresses any LED activity. The user manages the state of the
LEDs.
