A tag that has successfully executed the LOCK_ID command ignores this command. It should be noted that an all “0” or totally blank 64-bit tags cannot be read successfully by the VERIFY_ID sub-command. Because the tags are blank, they will be erroneously identified as 96-bit tags. But since they will only return 64-bits, the reader will misinterpret this and return an error.

In order to implement the LOCK_ID command, the Reader first sends a VERIFY_ID command to the tag in order to retrieve the CRC, Tag ID, and Password information. The Reader then sends a LOCK_ID command to the tag to lock the tag information. The Reader further verifies the LOCK_ID command execution by sending a VERIFY_ID command. If the reader gets the CRC, Tag ID, and Password from the tag, the LOCK_ID command failed. No response signifies a successful LOCK_ID command execution. Failure to lock a tag is reported back with the appropriate status error code.

A tag that has successfully executed the LOCK_ID command ignores the ERASE_ID command. In order to implement the ERASE_ID command, the Reader sends an ERASE_ID command to the tag to erase all tag information. The Reader further verifies the ERASE_ID command execution by sending a VERIFY_ID command. If the reader receives non-zero values for the CRC, Tag ID, and Password from the tag, the ERASE_ID command failed. A successful ERASE_ID command execution is defined as a tag response of all zeros in the CRC, Tag ID, and Password fields. Failure to erase a tag is reported back with the appropriate status error code.

December 6, 2006 Revision 1.0 Proprietary Information 67 Appendix A CRC Calculation This section shows how to calculate the CCITT CRC-16 over the entire body of the message. The CCITT CRC-16 is calculated starting with the LENGTH byte and continuing through the length -2. The final two CRC bytes are not included in the calculation but should be checked against the CCITT CRC-16 for a match. A typical command string, the Notify Command, with this CRC Calculated follows: 01 05 00 00 27 6C Where the 01 is the SOF byte, the 05 is the length and 00 00 is the command for the Notify Command with the 276C as the correctly calculated CRC. Here is a “C” language listing that shows the CCITT CRC-16 calculation. // *************************************************************************************************** // // CRC_Calc // Calculates CCITT-CRC for IDentity MaX Desktop RFID reader // // Version 1.0 // // This routine calculates the two byte CCITT-CRC for command and data messages for the IDentity MaX Desktop reader UHF RFID // Reader. // // Inputs: Place the entire message to be transmitted including SOH and two empty bytes for CRC into an array. // In this demo case CommandArray and the total length of the command in the length variable, CommandLength // are passed. These are passed into "bytearray[]" and "arraylength" variables of the routine. // // Outputs: This routine will return the value of the two-byte CRC which is calculated in the variable "crc". // // The routine begins with array index [1], and goes to array length -2.
