WhereNet Confidential

Most applications will use <F2> or length 27. This will support any WherePort ID

between 0 and 32,767. The message also includes the tag response information to

select between 72-bit or 152-bit tag blink response. The 15-bit WherePort ID is

added to the normal tag blink. The tag’s 4-bit status will always be 1000. This

message only works with WhereTag V2.1 tags.

<F3> or length 43 will support any WherePort ID between 0 and 32,767. The

message also includes the tag response information to select between a 72-bit or

152-bit tag blink response. The 15-bit WherePort ID is added to the normal tag

blink. The tag’s 4-bit status will always be 1000. This message also includes

limited tag configuration parameters. The parameters include:

Number of WherePort Blinks (0 through 15)

WherePort Blink Interval (5 seconds to 1 minute)

WherePort Retrigger (1 second to 2 minutes, three modes)

These parameters will permanently overwrite the existing tag configuration. This

message only works with WhereTag V2.1 tags.

<F4> or length 143 is used to send the tag 12 bytes of data. The data is the entire

WherePort message, so there is no associated WherePort ID in the tag blinks. This

message only works with WhereTag V2.1 tags.
