Program Tag

This option can be used to program Gen2, Class 0 and Class 1 RFID tags.
Gen2, Class 0 and Class 1 tags can be read, programmed, erased, locked and killed. Each tag contains
88 or 120 bits, which includes the EPC number (64 or 96 bits), CRC, and Kill Code. When programming
Class 1 tags, only an array of bits, 64 or 96, need to be provided. Locking, and killing Class 1 tags
requires a Kill Code which is 1 byte (8 bits) long. Since a Class 1 tag has a very small Kill Code, and
can be thwarted with many lock/kill attempts, it shuts down after a failed attempt for a extended
amount of time (possibly up to 10 hours).
For detailed information about programming tags, refer to the SMDK Help
file.
To program RFID tags:
1. Tap
2. Select the Class: 1 radio button to program Class 1 tags.
3. In the Tag ID (Hex string) text box below Class:, enter an 8-byte (64 bits) or 12-byte (96 bits)
hex string to be programmed into the tag. This string can contain any number from 0-9, and
a letter from A-F. Each byte must consist of two characters. Each byte should be separated
by a space character.
For example, if the tag should contain 80012390AAFD3617, type 80 01 23 90 AA FD 36 17
