It has the ability to store the transponder codes in its internal database. This Pocket Reader is equipped with a USB interface and optional Bluetooth or RS232 interface, which allows transmitting single transponder codes or its entire database to a computer. The ARE H9 HF is capable to read the following transponder types: • ISO 14443A • ISO 15693 Before the initial use of this ARE H9 HF reader please study this manual carefully. ---------------------------------------------------------------4/51--------------------------------------- 2 Elements of the ARE H9 HF 2x16 Character LCD-Display ARE H9 HF Menu option buttons (left, menu, right) Main button (read, select) USB connector **) Battery compartment **) RS232 cable in Rs232 version ---------------------------------------------------------------5/51--------------------------------------- 3 Operation Guide 3.1 Installation of the battery Slide door of the battery compartment to open it. 9V Block Battery Batterieclip Attach the Battery to the connector inside. Put the Battery into the compartment. Slide the door back to close it. Use only 9V E-Block alkaline Batteries of the Type 6LR61. 3.2 Power on/off The Pocket Reader is switched on by pressing the main button for 0,5s (default). The reader starts in reading mode. The ARE H9 HF will switch off automatically after 20s (default) when no button has been pressed within this time. ---------------------------------------------------------------6/51--------------------------------------- 3.3 Reading a transponder in standard mode Press the main button to start the reading process. The ARE H9 HF starts the reading process and the display shows: actual count 0 of 2016 Scanning Nr. maximum count Approach a transponder within the readers reading range. The reader emits a beep when the transponder has been read successfully, and the transponder code is shown on the display: 4E779B90 ISO-14443A In case no transponder has been read within the given time frame, the reader stops its reading process and the display shows: --- No Tag --For further reading processes release the main button and press it again for each attempt. ---------------------------------------------------------------7/51--------------------------------------- 4 Reading range The reading range and distance depends on the antenna type of the reading device, the transponder, its packaging and orientation to the reader. The ARE H9 HF is available ether with air coil antenna or ferrite antenna. It is not possible to read two or more transponders at the same time. ---------------------------------------------------------------8/51--------------------------------------- 4.1 Orientation with air coil antenna The following diagram shows the typical area where a card transponder should be read: ---------------------------------------------------------------9/51--------------------------------------- 4.2 Orientation with ferrite antenna The following diagram shows the typical area where a card transponder should be read: Database When a reading had been accomplished successfully, in the standard operating mode, the ARE H9 HF internal database will be checked whether this transponder code is already stored. If the new code, in combination with the attribute, is not found in the database, it will be stored as a new record. This record is composed of the ID-code, the transponder type and the selected attribute. With the optional real time clock module date and time of reading will be also stored. If the new code is already stored in the database, it will be not stored again. In this case the reader emits 2 successive beeps. The database is capable to store up to 2016 transponder codes. When the maximum of the storage is reached no further new code is stored. To store new codes in this case the database has to be erased. On Power Loss the ARE H9 HF will keep its database data. The database of the ARE H9 HF with all its actual records could be transmitted to a PC. This is done in the Database/USB mode. ---------------------------------------------------------------10/51--------------------------------------- 6 Menu functions 6.1 Navigating trought the menu function By pressing the menu button it can be chosen between the different menu functions. If the menu button is pressed again the ARE H9 HF cyclic changes to the next menu function. Inside a menu function the setting for the function could be changed with the arrow buttons. With the main button the actual menu function setting is selected and the ARE H9 HF changes back to the transponder reading mode. ---------------------------------------------------------------11/51--------------------------------------- 6.2 Overview of the menu functions --- No Tag --- available only with RealTime-Clock module 01 Jan '10 12:00:00 Set Attribute Set Attribute Operating Mode Standard Operating Mode Online/USB Set Interface USB Set Interface Bluet.

The selection is done by the left/right arrow buttons and confirmed by pressing the main button. Set Attribute In standard read mode this selected attribute will be stored together with the transponder ID-code of the next read transponder in the internal database of the ARE H9 HF. Example of Transponder-ID with no attribute: ID 4C8C8415 ISO-14443A attribute type of transponder In the initial configuration all the 27 attributes available have a standard text assignment. #, A, B, C,D,E,F,G,H,I,J,K,L,M,N,O,P,Q,R,S,T,U,V,W,X,Y,Z With a PC-software and using the Database/PC mode of the ARE H9 HF it is possible to assign each attribute a custom text with up to 14 ASCII characters. Example: A becomes "stable", B becomes "pasture" C becomes "vaccination" Under “Set Attribute” at the ARE H9 HF it is now possible to select the attribute by this custom text. ---------------------------------------------------------------13/51--------------------------------------- When a transponder has been read with an attribute set up with a custom text, the text assigned to the attribute will now be shown on the lower line of the display, right justified, instead of the attribute. Example of Transponder-ID with attribute and assigned text “Stall”: ID 4C8C8415 ISO-14443A Stall attribute type of transponder 6.4 Operating Mode The menu “Operating Mode” switches between the following modes: Standard, Online/USB, Online/USB H und Datenbank/USB Mode Operating Mode Standard 6.4.1 Standard mode In the “Standard” mode will the read transponder codes stored into the internal database of the ARE H9 HF. ---------------------------------------------------------------14/51--------------------------------------- 6.4.2 Online/USB, Online/BT*) or Online/Ser. mode In the online mode the transponder codes will not be stored into the internal database of the ARE H9 HF. The transponder codes are immediately transmitted via the USB interface to an attached PC, PDA, etc. It is important that there is a USB **) or Bluetooth*) connection established to a host-device ready to receive the data; otherwise the read transponder codes are lost because they are not stored in this mode. The reading process is the same as in standard mode; the second display-line shows the information of the selected “online/USB” **) or “online/BT” mode in between the reading processes. *) only with optional Bluetooth module **) online/ser. for Rs232 version ---------------------------------------------------------------15/51--------------------------------------- Once the online mode is active, the ARE H9 HF will be automatically in the online mode when it switched on again after switched off. --- No Tag --- Online/USB - Scanning ... Online/USB 4C8C1C84 Online/USB To leave the mode “Online/USB” under “Operating Mode” another mode has to be selected. ---------------------------------------------------------------16/51--------------------------------------- 6.4.3 Online/USB H, Online/BT H*) or Online/Ser. H mode – handshake mode The “online/USB H” or “online/BT H” mode has a similar to the “online/USB” with the difference that a read transponder code will not be sent immediately to the host (PC, PDA, etc.). First the reader checks if a connection to the host is established before it sends the transponder code. *) only with optional Bluetooth module **) online/ser. for Rs232 version ---------------------------------------------------------------17/51--------------------------------------- For this transmission the following protocol is used: ARE H9 HF Host (PC, PDA, etc.)-> <-> <- < transponder data > If the transponder ID was read the following is displayed: 4C8C1C84 transmitting... Does the host not answer to the protocol of the ARE H9 HF, then the ARE H9 HF will cyclic transmit the protocol until an answer of the host is received. During this the following display appears: Await Connection Abort ? The user can cancel this waiting for a response of the host by pressing both arrow buttons, but in this case the transponder ID will not be transmitted. ---------------------------------------------------------------18/51--------------------------------------- 6.4.4 Database/USB or Database/BT*) mode In the database mode it is not able to read a transponder. It is intended to transmit and receive record sets of the ARE H9 HF internal database to a host device as a PC, PDA, etc. To exchange data in the database mode you find a software called readerterminal on the CD. The usage of this software is explained in an extra document included with the software. You can find the description of the communication protocol in chapter 7. The database mode can be terminated by pressing both arrow buttons simultaneously, or by initiating it by the PC communication. Communic. Active Abort ? During the Database/PC mode the ARE H9 HF will not switch off automatically. *) only with optional Bluetooth module 6.5 Set interface With this menu option you can choose the interface of the ARE H9 HF. If there is the optional Bluetooth module available, you also can choose the Bluetooth interface: USB **) (Bluetooth Slave) (Bluetooth Master) HID Keyboard The ARE H9 HF supports only Bluetooth connection with the serial Port profile. 6.5.1 Interface USB **) USB is the default configuration of the ARE H9 HF. With this option enabled the complete communication to and from the ARE H9 HF is done by the USB cable connection. Choosing USB as interface automatically disables any active Bluetooth connection. ---------------------------------------------------------------19/51--------------------------------------- The USB connection to the ARE H9 HF is established as an additional com port via a USB bridge driver on the host PC. The protocol uses the RS232 specification with the settings: 19200 Baud, 8 Data bits, no party bit, one stop bit, no hardware handshake. **) serial for Rs232 version ---------------------------------------------------------------20/51--------------------------------------- 6.5.2 Set interface to Bluetooth slave This menu option configures the ARE H9 HF as Bluetooth slave. With the ARE H9 HF as Bluetooth slave the Bluetooth-connection is established up by the Bluetooth-partner which is configured as master. The ARE H9 HF checks after the selection of this option if there is an active Bluetooth connection, in this case this connection will be closed. Then the ARE H9 HF is waiting until a Bluetooth connection is established or the user cancels the operation by pressing both arrow buttons. During this operation the ARE H9 HF will not switch off automatically. Set Interface Bluet. Slave Verify Blutooth Connection Closing active Connection Await Connection Abort ? Connected as BT Slave ---------------------------------------------------------------21/51--------------------------------------- 6.5.3 Set interface to Bluetooth master This menu option configures the ARE H9 HF as Bluetooth master. In this configuration a Bluetooth connection with an partner is established by the ARE H9 HF. In case there is still an active Bluetooth connection, this connection will be closed before a new one is established. Set Interface Bluet. Master Verify Bluetooth Connection Closing active Connection BluetoothPartner PC_007 Was there a Bluetooth partner for the master connection configured before, this partner will be displayed as default option in the following dialog. BluetoothPartner PC_007 BluetoothPartner new search By pressing the arrow keys it is possible to switch the selection between the default partner and a new partner search. By choosing the default partner, the ARE H9 HF will try to establish a connection. During this process the message “Await Connection” could appear when the partner is not ready or at the partner side additional activities are necessary. ---------------------------------------------------------------22/51--------------------------------------- BluetoothPartner PC_007 BT Connecting to PC_007 Await Connection Abort ? Connected with PC_007 “new search” starts a search process for Bluetooth devices in range of the ARE H9 HF. The Bluetooth device search could last some seconds. BluetoothPartner new search Bluetooth Search New BT Partner PC_007 BT connecting to PC_007 Await Connection Abort ? Connected with PC_007 ---------------------------------------------------------------23/51--------------------------------------- If the search was successful a selection of possible partners will be shown. The Bluetooth partner search can’t detect if a Bluetooth device supports the serial port profile, the user has to know this. If the search was not successful the ARE H9 HF switches back to the “Set Interface” menu. After choosing a partner from the found devices, the ARE H9 HF will try to establish a connection. During this process the message “Await Connection” could appear when the partner is not ready or at the partner side additional activities are necessary. (Code 0000) A successful connection will be shown as follows: Connected with PC_007 6.5.4 Bluetooth disconnect If the connection to the Bluetooth partner is lost during the operating of the ARE H9 HF, or maximum Bluetooth distance has exceeded, the following display appears: Await Connection Abort ? In this case will the ARE H9 HF wait as long as the connection is established again ort he user cancels this screen by pressing both arrow buttons. While switching off the ARE H9 HF the Bluetooth connection to a partner will be automatically disconnected. 6.5.5 Set interface to HID Keyboard If HID keyboard is selected as interface then every read transponder-ID will be sent as keyboard input to a connected PC. When HID-keyboard is selected the operating mode of the ARE H9 HF changes automatically to the “Online/Keyboard” and there is no other “Mode of Operation” available. If there is a Bluetooth connection active, the ARE H9 HF closes this connection. By pressing the left button in the standard display the reader sends “carriage return” (13/0x0D). ---------------------------------------------------------------24/51--------------------------------------- 6.5.6 Interface RS232 **) If the ARE H9 HF Rs232 is used on a PC a RS232-crossover (lines Rxd, Txd are crossed) is necessary. In operation mode “Database/Ser.” and “online” are the following communication settings in use: 9600 baud, 8 data bits, no party bit, one stop bit, no hardware handshake **) only in Rs232 version 6.6 Lock up reader When lock up reader is activated the ARE H9 HF switches of immediately. After switching on the pocked reader again it shows that it is locked. During the ARE H9 HF is locked neither a reading process could started nor the menu could be accessed. While it is not unlocked, it will switch off again after 5 (default) seconds no button is pressed. To leave this mode press both arrow buttons simultaneously. Unlock Reader ! Press Both ---------------------------------------------------------------25/51--------------------------------------- 6.7 Mirror Code This function allows to mirror the transpondercode byte by byte. It is done in the reading routine. That means that the code is stored in the database in the same format as it is shown on the display or is sent via the interface. One transponder with “Mirror Code” on/off is treated like two different transpondercodes. Example: -“Mirror Code” off: 12345678 -“Mirror Code” on: 78563412 6.8 Erase memory This function allows deleting all records in the internal database of the ARE H9 HF. For safety reasons this function is activated only when both arrow buttons are pressed simultaneously. Erase DB-Memory Confirm ? Erase DB-Memory erasing... ~15 seconds Erase DB-Memory DB erased ! --- No Tag --- The erasing of the database memory can take several seconds. Do not disconnect the ARE H9 HF from the power supply during this erase operation; this could lead to damaging the database function of the reader. ---------------------------------------------------------------26/51--------------------------------------- After the erase operation has finished the device will return to the standard operating mode. 6.9 Reading time This sets the time frame for one reading attempt. The time could be changed with the arrow buttons in 0,5s steps. A new time is set by pressing the main button. Reading Time 2.0 s Default value min. value max. value 4s 0,5 s 12,5 s This setting is stored in the device and is still valid after power off/on operation. For optimal reading performance this setting is recommended to be between 2-4 seconds. 6.10 Turn-off time Sets the time until the ARE H9 HF will automatically shut off while no button is pressed or activity lasts. It could be change with the arrow buttons in 5s steps. Turn-Off Time 20 s A new time is set by pressing the main button. Default value min. value max. value 20 s 10 s 300 s This setting is stored in the device and is still valid after power off/on operation. ---------------------------------------------------------------27/51--------------------------------------- 6.11 Turn-on delay Sets the time the main button is to be pressed to switch on the ARE H9 HF. The time could be changed with the arrow keys in 0,5s steps. Turn-On Delay 0.5 s A new time is set by pressing the main button. Default value min. value max. value 0,5 s 0s 5s This setting is stored in the device and is still valid after power off/on operation. 6.12 Keyboard sound Here the beep sound of the keyboard could turn on or off. Keyboard Sound On This setting is stored in the device and is still valid after power off/on operation. ---------------------------------------------------------------28/51--------------------------------------- 6.13 Set time (available only with Real-Time-Clock module expansion) This menu option sets the time of the optional Real-Time-Clock module expansion. With this expansion module it is possibly to add the time and date code of reading to the transponder ID in the database. The Real-Time Clock module is equipped with a own backup-battery to hold the time and date even if the ARE H9 HF is switched off or the main battery of the ARE H9 HF has to be changed. To set the time press select this option with the main button, now is it possible to change the hours with the left/right arrow button. The hour setting is accepted by pressing the main button; then the minutes and seconds can be changed. The minute and second setting is working in the same way as the hour setting. After setting the second the Real-Time-Clock will be synchronized with this new time. To abort the processes during Set Time press the menu button. Set Time 12:00:00 Set Hour 12 00:00 Set Minute 12 00 00 +1h -1h +1m -1m Set Second 12:00 00 +1s -1s ---------------------------------------------------------------29/51--------------------------------------- 6.14 Set date (available only with Real-Time-Clock module expansion) This menu option sets the date of the optional Real-Time-Clock module expansion. To set the date select this option with the main button, now is it possible to change the day of month with the left/right arrow button. The day setting is accepted by pressing the main button; then the months and years can be changed. The month and year setting is working in the same way as the day setting. After setting the second the Real-Time-Clock will be synchronized with this new date. To abort the processes during Set Date press the menu button. Set Date 01 Jan '10 Set Day 01 Jan '10 Set Month 01 Jan '10 Set Year 01 Jan 10 +1d -1d +1m -1m +1y -1y ---------------------------------------------------------------30/51--------------------------------------- 6.15 Language/Sprache – select display language With this menu option is it possible to change the language of the ARE H9 HF menu-display. Language/Sprache English 6.16 Reader version This menu option shows the Firmware Revision of the ARE H9 HF. AEG ID - ARE H9 V3.00136 Data exchange protocol 7.1 Set of commands It includes the following commands: ET: check, whether Flash memory is empty EC: clear Flash memory RP: set Pointer on the first Record of stored data in the memory RN: read the stored Record and increase the Pointer RL: repeat the previous reading (RN) of stored Record without changing the Pointer WP: set Pointer on the next free position in the memory W: write a Record into Flash memory and increase Pointer SV: read Software Version XT: stop communication, abandon operating mode database/USB and go change to the standard read mode. R: Set date and time T: attach Text (with up to 14 characters) with attributes 'A' to 'Z' (e.g. 'Gate' instead of 'A') ---------------------------------------------------------------31/51--------------------------------------- 7.2 Protocol structure All the commands have the following structure: STX, command in ASCII, CRC in ASCII, ETX The following answers are possible: A Record with the structure given above, ACK BEL NAK Except STX and ETX, the total content of the commands are composed in ASCII characters. This procedure has been chosen explicitly, as a large number of host Operating Systems react with their own functions, when they see characters outside of 0x20 to 0x7F. The CRC is applied only on the characters of the „command“, STX and ETX are not included. The 4 nibbles of the CRC are transmitted in form of 4 ASCII characters. By doing so, the CRC is in conformance with the ASCII standard as well. Control characters STX ETX BEL Hex code 0x02 0x03 0x07 Designation Function Start Of Text End Of Text buzzer (bell) CR ACK 0x0D 0x06 Carriage Return Acknowledge NAK 0x15 Negative Acknowledge Begin of a Records End of a Records Signaling a specific condition, e.g.. if the interrogated memory site is not occupied. End of string The command has been executed successfully The command was not recognized and consequently has not been executed (syntax error) ---------------------------------------------------------------32/51--------------------------------------- 7.3 Checksum CRC The check sum (CRC=cyclic redundancy check) is generated using the standardized ISO-Polynomial (or CRC-CCITT) 0x1021; P(X) = X16 + X12 + X5 + 1 . CRC-CCIT Polynom CRC order Initial CRC-value data stream CRC 0x1021 16 Bit 0x0000 reverse each data byte (process from LSB to MSB) reverse CRC result before final XOR ---------------------------------------------------------------33/51--------------------------------------- Example in ANSI C: The CRC checksum in this software example is implemented as a reverse CRCCCITT: // ********************************************************************* // Function to calculate the CRC from a protocol buffer with // the given length // ********************************************************************* unsigned int build_crc(unsigned char length, unsigned char* protocol) // the initial CRC value #define CRC_PRESET 0x0000 // the reverse CRC-CCIT pollynomial #define CRC_POLYNOM 0x8408 unsigned char i,k; unsigned int crc; unsigned char crc_in; crc CRC_PRESET; // initial value for(i=0;i< length;i++) // loop trough the protocol crc_in = protocol[i]; // get next protocol byte for (k=0;k<=7;k++) // loop trough one byte LSB to MSB // test each Bit for CRC calculation if((((crc_in>>k)&0x01)^(crc&0x0001))==1) { crc=crc>>1; crc=crc^0x8408; } else { crc=crc>>1;} return(crc); The check sum is always composed out of 4 hex characters (values from 0x0000 to 0x FFFF). These 4 hex characters are transmitted in ASCII code from '0' .. '9' and 'A' to 'F' . Example: The check sum 0E2A is transmitted as CHR(0x30), CHR(0x45), CHR(0x32), CHR(0x41). ---------------------------------------------------------------34/51--------------------------------------- 7.4 Structure of the data base 1 Byte for Attribute (# = no attribute, ‘A’ ... ‘Z’) - transmitted as 1 ASCIIcharacter 6 Byte for Date/clock in BCD-Format - transmitted as 12 ASCII- characters 1 Byte for Code length (1 ... 16) - transmitted as 1 ASCII- character '0' .. '9', 'A' .. 'F' The code length is encoded as follows: Value of the ASCII-character = hex character describing (length – 1). Example: length =16; length - 1 =15; hex character = 0xF; ASCIIcharacter = 'F' = CHR(0x46). 8 Byte for the Code (up to 16 nibbles, starting left ) - transmitted as 16 ASCIIcharacters 1 Byte for Type of transponder - transmitted as 1 ASCII- character 0 = no known transponder 1 = ISO-FDX 2 = ASK 64Bit 3 = Trovan 4 = Datamars 5 = Destron 6 = ISO-Hdx 7 = Hitag 1/S 8 = Hitag 2 9 = Pontech A = PSK 2 B = PSK 1 C = PSK 2 D = BDE FDX E = BDE HDX F = ISO 14443A 4 Byte G = ISO 14443A 7 Byte H = ISO 15693 U = EM 4305 Time 10 11 20 Code (64Bit) 21 22 23 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 37 Text 38 39 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 STX CRC CRC Date CRC Type Length Attribute STX CRC 14 Byte for Text (up to 14ASCII’s in the range 0x20 ... 0x7F) - transmitted as 14 ASCII- character 40 41 42 43 44 45 46 47 48 49 50 Example: description of a record – (sequence of characters at the interface): STX 'K010101000133F2858997D3A4F00001______________46F6' ETX ---------------------------------------------------------------35/51--------------------------------------- The meaning is as follows: K = Attribute 'K' 010101 = 1.1.2001 000133 = 00:01:33 time F = Code length = 16 2858997D3A4F0000 = Code 1 = Type of transponder: ISO-FDX ______________ = 14 characters for text (not used = '_') 46F6 is the relevant CRC-check sum 7.5 Simplified read out procedure, without programming the CRC-routine In order to get a quick output of data from the hand held reader, programming the CRC may be omitted. In this case the following values have to be used: Command ‘ET’ ‘EC’ ‘RP’ ‘RN’ ‘RL’ ‘WP’ ‘SV’ ‘XT’ CRC in Hex 0x2C7F 0x 4841 0x B2C2 0x4B3D 0x682F 0xCC7A 0xCE2C 0x0996 Example: In order to read the software version out of the hand held reader , the following command has to be sent from the PC to the reader: STX ‘SVCE2C ‘ ETX . In case of a valid result, the answer is for example STX ‘610CE8E’ ETX, where ‘610’ stands for the Version and ‘CE8E’ for the check sum belonging to it. The disadvantage of this method is: The command ‘W’ can not be executed because the check sum is computed out of the entire Record ( including the command and the code number ). The consequence is, that every command in conjunction with a code number has is own check sum. ---------------------------------------------------------------36/51--------------------------------------- 7.6 The command structure in detail 7.6.1 EEPROM (flash memory) empty test STX , „ET“ , „CRC“ , ETX answer: ACK = EEPROM contains data BEL = EEPROM contains no data NAK = Error This command checks if the database is empty. 7.6.2 EEPROM clear ... „EC“ ... answer: ACK = executed NAK = Error 7.6.3 Set pointer to first full EEPROM record ... „RP“ ... answer: ACK = executed NAK = Error Note: It is absolutely necessary, that this command is executed , before a readout or clearing command is given. Otherwise the position of the pointer is undefined. 7.6.4 Read (new) record ... „RN“ ... answer: STX, „record in ASCII“ , „CRC in ASCII“ , ETX NAK = Error The output of the reader is a record ,but, after completion, the pointer is incremented as well. Consequently at the next "RN" command the following record will be transmitted. ---------------------------------------------------------------37/51--------------------------------------- 7.6.5 Read last record ... „RL“ ... answer: STX, „record in ASCII“ , „CRC in ASCII“ , ETX NAK = Error The reader repeats the output of the record, that was transmitted with the previous "RN" command. The position of the pointer remains unchanged ( as set by the previous "RN" command ). This command is sent by the host only , if the CRC from the last record gives a wrong result. 7.6.6 Set pointer to first empty EEPROM record ... „WP“ ... answer: ACK = executed NAK = Error Note: It is absolutely necessary, that this command is executed , before a load or write command is given. Otherwise the position of the pointer is undefined. Caution: stored records may be overwritten. 7.6.7 Write record STX, „W“ , „record in ASCII“ , „CRC in ASCII“ , ETX answer: ACK = executed NAK = Error This command writes the record into the EEPROM memory, provided that length, syntax, and CRC have been identified as true. After completion, the pointer is incremented as well.

Format: STX, „S“, „Address = 3xASCII-chr“,crc = 4xASCII-chr“, ETX. Answer from reader: STX, „Value 2xASCII-chr“, „CRC 4xASCII-chr“, ETX ---------------------------------------------------------------40/51--------------------------------------- 7.7.3 Set time and date „r“ is the command to set the time and date with a Real-Time-Clock-module present in the ARE H9 HF. Date and time are coded as BCD-values and transmitted in ASCII-characters. Format: STX, „r“, „Date and Time in ASCII BCD“, „CRC 4xASCII-chr“, ETX Answer from reader: ACK = command executed NAK = command or parameter error Example: Set the clock to 15.11.2002, 10:02:16 r1511021002162CA5 with CRC = 2CA5 7.8 Attributes 7.8.1 Assign text to attributes The database in the ARE H9 HF is capable to assign 27 attributes to transponder-IDs. In the initial configuration all the 27 attributes available have a standard text assignment. #, A, B, C,D,E,F,G,H,I,J,K,L,M,N,O,P,Q,R,S,T,U,V,W,X,Y,Z Using the Database/PC mode of the ARE H9 HF it is possible to assign each attribute a custom text with up to 14 ASCII characters. Example: A becomes “stable”, B becomes “pasture” C becomes “vaccination” A new text could be assigned to an attribute with the command „t“. ---------------------------------------------------------------41/51--------------------------------------- Format: STX, „t“, „Attribute = 1xASCII-chr“,„Text = 14xASCII-chr“,„crc = 4xASCII-chr“, ETX. Answer from reader: ACK = command executed NAK = command or parameter error The text must be minimum three characters and at least 14 characters long. Only characters of the ASCII-table are allowed in the text. Should no text be assigned, or an assigned text should be cleared, three „_“characters are sent instead of the text. Example: To change the attribute a to the text „Stall“ the following protocol has to be sent: tAStall02C9 To clear the text of the attribute „A“ the following protocol has to be sent: tA___0186 7.8.2 Read attribute text assignments The text assignments to the attributes at the ARE H9 HF could be read by using the command „T“ Format: STX, „T“ , „Attribute = 1xASCII-chr“,„crc = 4xASCII-chr“ , ETX. Answer from reader: STX, „Attribute = 1xASCII-chr“,„Text = 14xASCII-chr“,„crc = 4xASCII-chr“ , ETX. NAK = command or parameter error ---------------------------------------------------------------42/51--------------------------------------- Example: To read the text of the attribute „A” following protocol has to be sent: TAE71A Answer: A538D or Stall7A09 => no text assigned => assigned text „Stall“ Control characters used in the online mode character value Function hexadecimal 0x00 zero character, terminates text element 0x02 start of text 0x03 end of text 0x06 acknowledge 0x0D carriage return 0x0A line feed USB driver installation To use the online and the database mode the ARE H9 HF is connected via USB to a host PC. Before the USB connection could be used a USB to RS232 bridge drive has to be installed. If you want to use the USB-HID interface the standard keyboard driver is used. Insert the driver disc supplied with the ARE H9 HF into your CD-Rom or DVDDrive of the host PC you want to use with the pocket reader.
