1 Introduction This document describes the RFID-reading device ARE DT1 and the set-up procedure.
2 Startup and testing the reader DT1 • Connect the reader with the USB interface from your notebook or pc • In the device manager there will appear a new device (Silicon Labs CP210x USB to UART Bridge) • In the brackets you see the port number of the device (e.g. COM5) • Open the “Demo Terminal“ on the CD • Open the menu “Settings” • You have to set the following settings: baud rate 19200 baud, 8 data bits, no parity, 1 stop bit, no flow control. • Send the command „VER “ to the reader.
With the command CS you can change to the alternative instruction set. If the reader is set to alternative instruction set, you can change back to the AEG ID instruction set via the command AEG (see chapter 5.3.3). 3.1.1 Entering instuctions The protocol format is as follows Command parameter The space character separates commands from parameters and the character acts as command line terminator. For commands without parameter values (e.g.
After entering an invalid parameter value, the system answers with the corresponding error code. Error message: Command: MD 4 Output: NAK #02 3.1.2.3 Output at parameter query Parameter settings can be queried by sending the command without adding a parameter value. Example: Command: MD Output: 2 3.1.3 Blank instuction If a single is input, the reader answers with a single . Example: Command: Output: 3.1.
NAK #08 wrong password NAK #10 antenna failure NAK #11 anticollision error level 1 NAK #12 anticollision error level 2 NAK #13 select error level 1 NAK #14 select error level 2 NAK #15 transceiver IC error NAK #16 not acknowlegde NAK #17 no valid value block NAK #18 EEPROM full NAK #19 code already saved in EEPROM NAK #20 code not in EEPROM NAK #21 wrong standard NAK #22 wrong transpondercode length NAK #23
3.1.5 Upper and lower case The instruction set isn’t case-sensitiv. 3.1.6 Linefeed The reader does never send a linefeed. If you use a terminal program it can add the linefeed. You have to choose the option “displace CR with CR LF”.
3.2 Instructions for the hardware settings 3.2.1 BD – baudrate The command BD enables the change of the baud rate. The settings are directly effective. Input format: BD parameter Output (example): 2 Parameter: PARAMETER FUNCTION 0 4800 baud 1 9600 baud 2 19200 baud 3 38400 baud 4 57600 baud 5 115200 baud 3.2.2 HF – radio frequency With the command HF you can switch the antenna field on and off.
Output (example): 0 Parameter: PARAMETER FUNCTION 0 RS232 emulation 1 HID interface, keyboard You have to unplug the device and plug the device in again to use the new setting. Don’t forget to use the command VSAVE to save the new setting. If the reader is in HID mode, you can not send any commands to the device. Because of that you have to use the Set-Up card – interface to switch the reader back from HID mode to serial interface mode. 1. Plug out the reader 2. Place card no reader 3.

Input format: VER Output (example): AEG ID V1.
3.3 Instructions for reading settings 3.3.1 CE – convert error code With CE=1 the reader sends no error codes, except the no read error, during the md0 mode or the commands Get Tag. With CE=2 the reader sends the normal no read error (XXXXXXXX) if there is an error with the select or anticollision. This command has only effect in the ISO 14443A standard.
Sequence of reading cycles Output sequence after filtering with CN=0 und CID=1 Output sequence after filtering with CN=1 und CID=1 N, N, ......,N, A, A, A, ....A, N,N, ......... N, N, ......,N, A, N, N, ....... A N. N, N, A, A, A, N, A, A, B, A, C, C, C, ....... N. N, N, A, N, B, A, C, ..... A, B, A, C The settings are directly effective.

Input format: INIT Output (example): ACK 3.3.5 LAA – LED automatic activity The leds can be controlled by the reader or over the interface. You can set it up with the command LAA. If the LEDs are controlled by the reader, the reader beeps and flashes after successful reading and writing.
3.3.7 RA – resend last answer The command RA resends the last answer sent by the reader. Input format: RA Output (example): 0 3.3.8 TSC – time show code With the command TSC you can define the time in ms, after that the transpondercode is shown again, when the CID parameter is set to 1. If TSC is 00, the code is not shown a second time. Input format: TSC parameter Output (example): 00 PARAMETER FUNCTION 00 TSC is not active 01..FF TSC time in ms 3.3.
00h limits the reading process duration of exactly one reading cycle 01h..FFh limits the reading process duration to maximum 1..256 times TB 3.3.10 SI – set iso standard With this command you can switch the iso standard of the reader.

4 Reader EEPROM organisation 4.1 EEPROM overview The ARE 110 contains an internal 2048 byte EEPROM. In the following table you can see the memory map. ADDRESS AEG INSTRUCTION SET 0000h..0002h SNR read only 0003h..0004h internal use, read only 0005h..0009h USER 000Ah..002Fh do not change 0030h..007Fh USER 0080h..00FFh USER 0100h..079Fh USER 07A0h..
5 Operating Modes of the Reader In the AEG instruction set there are two operational modes defined: • MD 0 - continuous mode • MD 2 - the reading process is triggered by the serial interface In the next capters can you find a detailed functional description. The default mode is MD 2. 5.1 MD 2 - Triggered by an software command The master sends the command to read a transponder code. The reader answers with the code or an error code.
TOR exciter processor interface reading cycle reading cycle reading cycle GT NoRead reading process Figure 10: Software triggered reading operation with TOR>0 Please note: The TOR parameter is only active, if the GT-Command is applied. Within the time span defined by the value of TOR no NoRead will be output on the interface! 5.2 MD 0 - Continuous Reading When operating continuously the exciter is switched on permanently. The reading cycles are initiated periodically.
6 Instructions To avoid any reduction of the reading distance of the reader, the reader must not be brought next to a metal surface (e.g. don’t put metallic sticker to the reader). This could lead to a significant change of the properties of the antenna circuit, which in turn reduces the reading range considerably or causes reading holes! To get reliable readings, the distance between reader and transponder must be within the specified reading volume.
