EachTEisprogrammedwithauniqueIDnumberwhichisalsotheserialnumberoftheTE.
TheTEtransmitsabeaconmessagetotheTRCthatcontainstaginfieldinformation,
Firmwarerevisioninformationandtheserialnumber.Thetransmittedserialnumberis
truncated,strippingoffthemostsignificant

beingtruncatedfromtheIDthereisapossibilityoftwoTEstotransmitthesameID.To
resolvethisissue,theleastsignificant4bitsoftheTEmaybechangedinthefieldwiththetag
