Attachment 1: Communication with the Host
1. Reader Operation
1.1. RF mode
1.1.1. Verbose mode
The Reader recognizes and reads the tag by operating only one channel from those in waiting
mode through the host command (CVR). The channel that is operated in Verbose mode is
activated only the specific scanning duration. If the tag is read within that duration, the
channel stops its operation and returns to the waiting mode. If the tag is not recognized during
the scanning duration, it is also returned to the waiting mode.
1.1.2. Continuous mode
All channels of the Reader operate for the specific duration (scan weight) set for the channel
and then return to the waiting mode. The next channel is then activated and goes through the
cycle. If there is only one channel, it continuously searches the tag.
1.2. Event report mode
1.2.1. First talk mode(FT)
In this mode, the data is immediately sent to the host when the even (tag read) occurs to the
reader.
1.2.2. Listen & talk mode(LT)
The Reader stores the data in its own memory when the event occurs and sends it to the host
only when requested (CTR). In this case the data is stored in the reader until the host request.
2. Frame
The communication between the reader and the host occurs through two types of frames. The
type of frame is determined by the transmitting device. The data in the frame consists of ASCII
code. For the numeric data, its hex value is changed to 2byte ASCII code. The frames are
described in detail below.

Figure 2.2 shows the response frame form the reader to the host. This frame is the response
to the tag Read/Write (CTR/CTW) related command can be used to send the data or control
information as the response to the various host requests. The control information must be
preceded by a specific request. Therefore, there is always a set of request/response
communication. If there is no data to respond or error after the request is normally received
and processed, the ACK or NAK is sent as shown in Figure 2.3. The frames are described in
more detail below. .
STX (Start TX): It signifies the beginning of the frame and is the 02H ASCII 02H control
character.
ACK(Acknowledgement): This is sent when the request was normally processed and is 06H
ASCII control character.
NAK(Negative ACK): This is sent when the request was failed to be processed and is 15H ASCII
15H control character.
s.ADD (Source Address): This is the address of the reader that sends the data.
CH (channel): This is the channel number of the reader. (Since a reader can have the multiple

ECD: The 1 byte error code is changed to 2 byte ASCII code.
A0H: Writing failed,
A8H: Reading failed,
80H: Checksum incorrect
88H: Overflow
40H: EEPROM WRITING FAIL
20H: RF Mode error
28H:Event Mode error
10H : Unknown command
18H : Time Out
3. Command
REM125 and WIM125 models support the commands listed in the following table. Each
command is named as Cxx with C standing for Command.
As shown in the table, the commands consist of 3 bytes and can include the data. One thing
to note is that, as mentioned in the previous section, the one byte long hex value is changed to
2 byte ASCII code for data transmission. Therefore, the transmitted frame becomes 6 byte
long..
For example:
When sending CCS (08h 03h 01h), it is expressed as ‘0’ ‘8’ ‘0’ ‘3’ ‘0’ ‘1’ and then changed to
30h 38h 30h 33h 30h 31h as the frame data to be sent.
The above data expression is applied to all fields except the ASCI control characters such as
ENQ, STX and ETX.

Read) only one channel can be activated at a time.
Once the reader receives this command, it
responds with the Ack and then scans the
tag for the scanning duration before
sending the tag information to the host in
response to the CTR command depending
upon FT or LT mode. If the tag is not
recognized within the scanning duration,
the time out error response is sent to the
host, and the channel is turned into the
waiting mode.
CTRn
(n ch Tag data
Read)
2nh 47h 17h None
The tag of the specific channel is read.
This command is valid for only Listen and
Talk mode. The valid range of n is 0 ~ 8.
When n = 0(CTR0, 20h), all channels read
the tag data.
* In case of CTR0, data of all channels
recognizing the tag is sent through one
frame as shown in Figure 3.1
CTWn
(n ch Tag data

3nh 47h 17h Tag data The valid range of N is 1~8.
As shown in the table, the command that starts with 08h is used to read the specific control
data from the reader. In that case no data field is used. The command that starts with 2nh is
used to read the tag data. In that case the third byte is the length of the tag data and is the
same as the data length of the frame. The command that starts with 10h is used to turn On/Off
the reader parameters. 1 means on and 0 means off. The command that starts with 18h is
used to send the specific data to the reader or tag. The last byte signifies the data length.
The 3nh command is used to write the data to the tag. The tag data length is same as the third
byte of the command. For the data field, the 1 byte hex value is changed to 2 byte ASCII code
like other fields before transmission/reception. In other words, the data length of the actual
frame is twice that of the number of bytes expressed in the last byte of 08h/18h/2n/3n
commands.
Figure 3.1 shows the response frame of CTR0 command. It is used to send all valid channel
tag data. The channel data format in the frame is same as 2 byte channel information data
