Entering these commands effectively expires the timeout clock, which erases all current
IDs in the comparison register. In effect, the first ID that is acquired after the clock expires
always appears to be new and is stored. Newly acquired IDs are only tested against IDs
that are registered after the clock resets.
The timeout clock is continually reset (does not expire) as long as the reader receives the
same tag ID. For example, assume that the timeout clock is set for 2 minutes and there is
a railcar parked on a siding in front of the reader. Without this continual reset feature, the
railcar’s ID would be reported every 2 minutes (each time the timeout clock expired).
450 Disable Wiegand Mode (Factory Default)
Command
!450
is a default set in the factory to disable Wiegand mode.
Reader response:
Done
451 Enable Wiegand Mode
Command
!451
enables Wiegand mode, which allows the reader to transmit data in a
format that emulates the output of a magnetic card reader.
In Wiegand mode, the reader transmits Wiegand-formatted tag data through the Wiegand
interface and ASCII data (the reader accepts reader commands and responds) through
the serial port interface. The reader outputs data from Wiegand-programmed tags via the
Wiegand interface. Tags that are not Wiegand-formatted are not transmitted through the
Wiegand interface or the serial port when in Wiegand mode, although the tag lock relay is
activated on any tag acquired.
Reader response:
Done
452 Disable Tag Translation Mode (Factory Default)
Command
!452
disables tag translation mode. Incoming full-frame tags will be directly
converted to ASCII. They will not be translated from Association of American Railroads
(AAR) and American Trucking Associations (ATA) format to ASCII.
Reader message:
Done
453 Enable Tag Translation Mode
Command !453 enables the translation of tags in AAR and ATA formats. Specific data fields,
such as owner ID and car number, will be extracted from these tags, translated according
to AAR or ATA standards, and converted to ASCII. Tags that are not programmed in AAR or
ATA format will be directly converted to ASCII. The reader will not attempt to translate data
from half-frame or dual-frame tags.
