170 Appendix B: Using the ArbSer Application
This returns the same version information as the -ver command previously documented.
Now that the application FW has been started, the reader is ready to accept protocol
commands. To read an EPC0 tag, place the tag about one foot away from the antenna.
Then send the following series of commands.
Set Current Region Command
Before you can start reading tags with the M5e, M5e-C and M6e-TC, you must set the
region in which the reader resides.
For example, if the region is the European Union, using the Set Current Region
command, set the region as follows:
C:\> ArbSer –msg 01 97 02
<Equivalent to: FF 01 97 02 4B BE>
Valid message received:
Data Length = 00
OpCode = 93
Status = 00 00
CRC = 371A
