Startup and testing the reader
•
Connect the reader with the USB interface from your notebook or pc
•
The reader is supplied via the USB interface. The supply differs depending on the used port. To
reach the maximal reading distance a powerfull supply is essential. A USB hub with its own
power supply can deliver this.
•
In the device manager there will appear a new device (AEy ID Communications Port)
•
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 <CR>“ to the reader. The reader answers with the actual firmware
version (e.g. AEy ID Multi-ISO V2.034).
•
Send the command “MD <SP> 0 <CR>” to the reader. The reader sends No Read messages
(XXXXXXXX), while there is no transponder in the antenna field available (if CN parameter ist
0). If there is a transponder present in the antenna field the reader sends its serial.

AEG ID instruction set
3.1
General
The command set described below defines the transfer of data on the serial interface.
The commands consist of a command code and optionally of a parameter value. Commands are ter-
minated by the control character <CR> (0Dh). The control character serves as command line termi-
nator.
Command codes and parameters,including all letters and numerical values, are principally transmit-
ted as a sequence of ASCII characters (the value 255 (decimal) consequently as 32H, 35H, 35H; the
command RST as 52H, 53H, 54H).
