NOTE: Hi-G-Tek Ltd. Microelectronics & Asset Tracking Technology 192 7 Evaluation Software 7.8.7.2. Tamper Command The TAMPER command is used to find all seals in the Reader's range which indicate a TAMPER status. Command definition and method of execution are identical to those of the VERIFY command described in section 7.8.7.1. 7.8.7.3. Addressed Verify The ADDRESSED VERIFY command is a VERIFY command for a specific seal. In order to affect this command, the Seal ID must be entered into the required field. All other parameters are identical to those of the VERIFY command described in section 7.8.7.1. Hi-G-Tek Ltd. Microelectronics & Asset Tracking Technology 193 Evaluation Software 7.8.7.4. SET The SET command is used to arm or set one or several seals. Up to eight seals can be set in a single session. The SET command cannot be activated if the Seal Wire is not connected to the seal Seal status will be indicated as closed (OK) or open (FAIL). An example of this can be seen in the RESPONSE window of the illustration below: The first row indicates an open seal and TAMPER status, and therefore a FAIL result, while the second row indicates a closed seal, status OK. Initiation of the SET command deletes all events stored in the EVENTS MEMORY. An additional explanation of this feature can be found in the Hi-G-TEK DataTerminal user manual. Hi-G-Tek Ltd. Microelectronics & Asset Tracking Technology 194 Evaluation Software 7.8.7.5. Soft SET Similar to the SET command, the SOFT SET command is used to arm or set one or several seals. Up to eight seals can be set in a single session. The SOFT SET command cannot be activated if the Seal Wire is not connected to the seal. Seal status will be indicated as closed (OK) or open (FAIL). An example of this can be seen in the RESPONSE window of the illustration below: The first row indicates an open seal and TAMPER status, and therefore a FAIL result, while the second row indicates a closed seal, status OK. The main difference between the SOFT SET and SET commands is that the SOFT SET command does not delete previous events stored in the EVENTS MEMORY. Hi-G-Tek Ltd. Microelectronics & Asset Tracking Technology 195 7 Evaluation Software 7.8.7.6. Suspended SET Similar to the SET and SOFT SET commands, SUSPENDED SET is used to arm or set one or several seals. Up to eight seals can be set in a single session. The SUSPENDED SET command can only be initiated if the SealWire has not been connected to the seal. Seal status will be indicated as closed (OK) or open + suspended set. An example of this can be seen in the RESPONSE window of the illustration below: The first row indicates an open seal that has not been sealed with Seal Wire. The status shows the seal is open + suspended set, waiting to be sealed. The second row indicates a closed seal, status OK. In the event of a FAIL status response, the message type response is "99". Hi-G-Tek Ltd. Microelectronics & Asset Tracking Technology 196 Evaluation Software 7.8.7.7. Read Data The READ DATA command allows the Reader to retrieve data from a single seal located in the User Data area. There are two separate storage areas in each seal, ranging from address 00 to address 53. The first area, from address 00 to 53, is used to store data used by the DataTerminal. The data-rangecan also be used by the HF system (both reading and writing). Data stored from address 54 to 2K is defined as a free high frequency area. The illustration below demonstrates the reading of an 18 byte block, starting at address 5. This is shown in comparison to the same DataTerminal user data. The response is shown in both hex and ASCII formats. The largest block size that can be read in one session is 67 bytes. In the event of a FAIL status response, the message type response is "E3". The hex and ASCII data in the Response window appears on the DataTerminal screen as follows: ACEG7894561 CID: ...................................... 8527 Cont: ................................... 321 Dest: ................................... Point dataterminal at seal press ok to confirm Hi-G-Tek Ltd. Microelectronics & Asset Tracking Technology 197 Evaluation Software 7.8.7.8. Write Data The WRITE DATA command allows the User to write text in the entire data area. This command can only work with one seal at a time. There are two separate storage areas in each seal, ranging from address 00 to address 53. The first area, from address 00 to 53, is used to store data used by the DataTerminal. The data-range can also be used by the HF system (reading and writing). Data stored in address 54 to 2K is defined as a free high frequency area. Maximum block size for a single session is 67 bytes. Read Data command can only work with one seal ID P#PK Base Address Data Block Short Status Seal ID Number of bytes Msgt In the event of a FAIL status response, the message type response is "E8". Hi-G-Tek Ltd. Microelectronics & Asset Tracking Technology 198 7 Evaluation Software 7.8.7.9. Read Parameter The READ PARAMETER command enables the User to read parameters from a single seal (see table 5.4). Hi-G-Tek Ltd. Microelectronics & Asset Tracking Technology 199 7 Evaluation Software 7.8.7.10. Write Parameter The WRITE PARAMETER command enables the User to update some of the seal parameters (see table 5.4). The screen below illustrates an update of the ADI parameter. In the event of a FAIL status response, the message type response is "E9". 7.8.7.11. Reset Data The RESET DATA command allows the User to reset all USER DATA from address 00 to address 2K. Hi-G-Tek Ltd. Microelectronics & Asset Tracking Technology 200 7 Evaluation Software 7.8.7.12. Deep Sleep This command sends the seal into DEEP SLEEP mode. Prior to initialization of the command, seal IDs must be defined. This command can work with up to eight seals. 7.8.7.13. Hard Wakeup The purpose of this command is to bring seals in DEEP SLEEP mode back to regular operating mode. Only seals that are on the seal ID list and are in DEEP SLEEP mode will be affected. This command can work with up to eight seals at at time. Hi-G-Tek Ltd. Microelectronics & Asset Tracking Technology 201 7 Evaluation Software 7.8.7.14. Start Alert Burst The START ALERT BURST command transforms the seal from its current operating mode to a burst mode of operation. In Alert Burst operating mode, whenever a seal is opened a transmission detailing the opened seal ID is automatically sent. The START ALERT BURST command can work with up to eight seals. The number of transmissions and the pause between each transmission is predetermined (see table 5.4). The ACK command, detailed in section 7.8.7.18, can be used to stop a burst transmission. Hi-G-Tek Ltd. Microelectronics & Asset Tracking Technology 202 7 Evaluation Software 7.8.7.15. Start Alert Burst (all) Similar to the START ALERT BURST command, the START ALERT BURST (ALL) transforms the seal from its current operating mode to a burst mode of operation. The difference between the two is that in the case of START ALERT BURST (ALL), all seals in the area will be transferred to this mode of operation. No response is received in the RESPONSE window when the the START ALERT BURST (ALL) command operates in Broadcast mode. Hi-G-Tek Ltd. Microelectronics & Asset Tracking Technology 203 7 Evaluation Software 7.8.7.16. Stop Alert Burst The STOP ALERT BURST command stops the seal from working in Alert Burst mode and returns it to the regular mode of operation. 7.8.7.17. Stop Alert Burst (all) The STOP ALERT BURST (ALL) command differs from the STOP ALERT BURST command only in that it applies to all the seals located in the Reader's vicinity. When the command is transmitted in Broadcast mode, no reply is received in the Response window. Hi-G-Tek Ltd. Microelectronics & Asset Tracking Technology 204 Evaluation Software 7.8.7.18. Ack Alert The ACK ALERT command confirms to the seal that its message has been received. After receiving an ACK ALERT command the seal stops transmitting until a new TAMP EVENT is detected. The ACK ALERT command can work with up to eight seals at a time. Hi-G-Tek Ltd. Microelectronics & Asset Tracking Technology 205 7 Evaluation Software 7.8.7.19. Read Events The READ EVENTS command is used to read all events stored in the EVENTS MEMORY. As is illustrated in the sample screen below, the Command Data field contains two numbers. The first defines the first event to be read, the second number defines the total number of events to be read. The response is recorded in both hex and text formats. (See table 5.8. for a list of appropriate events.) The READ EVENTS command is compatible with two event types: short events (8 bytes) and long events (16 bytes). In the sample screen illustration below, events 1 and 5 are long events. All the rest are short events. Hi-G-Tek Ltd. Microelectronics & Asset Tracking Technology 206
