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 two minutes and there is
a railcar parked on a siding in front of the reader. Without this reset feature, the railcar’s ID
would be reported every two minutes (each time the timeout clock expired).
452 Disable Tag Translation Mode (Factory Default)
Command #452 disables tag translation mode. Incoming full-frame tags will be converted
directly to ASCII. They will not be translated from Association of American Railroads (AAR)
and American Trucking Associations (ATA) format to ASCII.
Reader response:
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 converted directly to ASCII. The reader will not attempt to
translate data from half-frame or dual-frame tags.

456 Enable SeGo Protocol Tag Initialization During Multi-tag Sort
(Factory Default)
Command
#456
enables the reader to send the Super eGo® (SeGo) protocol tag initialize
command as part of the multi-tag sort function. When the reader sends the SeGo protocol
tag initialize command, all tags in the RF field reenter the sort process.
Reader response:
Done
457 Disable SeGo Protocol Tag Initialization During Multi-tag Sort
Command
#457
disables the reader from sending the SeGo protocol tag initialize
command as part of the multi-tag sort function. Any SeGo protocol tags already identified
by the reader during the sort process will not be re-identified as long as they remain
powered in the RF field. The reader will only identify new tags that come into the RF field
or tags that do not remain powered in the RF field.
Reader response:
