3. Configuration Parameters (CFG)
The configuration memory of the Reader is organized in configuration blocks of 16 byte each. These
are divided into 14-byte configuration parameters and a 2-byte CRC16 checksum. Each of these
configuration blocks takes a number (CFG 0...CFG n).
Structure of a configuration block in Reader configuration memory and Reader EEPROM (CFG):

The parameters are stored in two different configuration memory locations:
Reader RAM
Backup EEPROM (used for storing parameter over power down)
Multiple configuration memory locations can be addressed by the value of the parameter CFG-ADR
used in chapter 4. Commands for Reader Configuration
CFG-ADR:
CFGn
: memory-address of the required configuration block
LOC
: specifies the location of the configuration block (RAM / EEPROM)
MODE
: specifies one or all configuration blocks

CFGn: address of configuration block
The EEPROM configuration blocks are protected by a 16 bit CRC-checksum. The examination of
these checksums is executed after each reset of the Reader. If a faulty checksum is found, the
Reader goes into an error status "EE-Init-Mode" and sets the configuration block which is faulty to
the default values.
While the EE-Init-Mode is active, the LED blinks alternately red and green and the Reader answers
external commands with the status "0x10 EEPROM Failure". The "EE-Init-Mode" can be exited now
by a new reset (cold start or 5.2. [0x63] CPU Reset command). If after this the checksums of all
data records are correct, the Reader shifts to the configured operation mode.
Notes:
Malfunctions may occur if parameters are configured outside their described range or if
unspecified parameters have been changed!
A firmware update resets the EEPROM to default settings and the Reader goes into the
error status “EE-Init-mode”.
