Unique Device Id (00H; Station Id (0Ah); Protocol Configuration Register 1 (0Bh); Autostart - Elatec TWN3 Multi ISO Technical Manual

5.2 Unique Device ID (00h ... 04h)
The Unique Device ID is factory programmed and cannot be changed. It forms a unique 40 bit ID of
the reader.

5.3 Station ID (0Ah)

In ASCII mode, the Station ID has principally no influence on the functional behavior of the reader.
Nevertheless it can be used to identify a reader in a multi-reader environment.
In Binary mode, the Station ID is used to address the reader in protocol header. The Station ID has
the range 01h to FEh and can be set freely. The value 00h is reserved for the bus-master, all readers
send their response to this device. The broadcast message (FFh) forces all readers to response to the
command.
Default value: 01h

5.4 Protocol Configuration Register 1 (0Bh)

The Protocol Configuration Register 1 specifies the general behavior of the reader.
Protocol Configuration Register 1

ExtendID RFU

5.4.1 AutoStart

If set the reader will start up in continuous read mode.
Default value: 1

5.4.2 Binary

If set the reader uses binary protocol. Refer to binary protocol description for further information.
Default value: 0

5.4.3 MultiTag

The MultiTag flag will enable multi tag recognition in continuous read mode. All tags are detected and
displayed. Due to the more complex search algorithm detection speed is decreased in continuous
read mode.
Default value: 0

5.4.4 NewSerialMode

The NewSerialMode flag controls the addition of a leading character to the serial number of
transponders. This eases the recognition of transponder types.
This setting affects the commands continuous reading („c‟), single tag select („s‟) and multi tag select
(„m‟)
Default value: 0
