CHAPTER 5 READER-HOST PROTOCOL
Autonomous Mode Commands
Autonomous mode is a multi-stage configuration and operation mode that
enables hands-free monitoring of tags.
• The first stage requires you to issue a series of configuration commands to
the reader. These commands detail how and when to read tags, and then
when tags are found, who to tell.
• Once configured, the reader can be left to operate on its own.
For a detailed description of the Automonous mode system please refer to
Chaprer 4 of this guide.
