ReaderName

Suppressing Command Prompts

By default all commands are set up for interactive use over a serial console

or telnet style interface. Consequently replies are always followed by a

command prompt indicating user input is required. Often this command

prompt is not required, especially when client software is written that

programmatically communicates with the reader. To account for these

applications, all command prompts can be suppressed by making the first

character of any command be an 0x1 character. For example,

Interactive Command Format:

Alien> get ReaderName[CR}[LF]

ReaderName = Alien Reader[CR][LF][0]

Alien>[CR][LF]

Non-Interactive Command Format:

[1]get ReaderName[CR][LF]

ReaderName = Alien Reader[CR][LF][0]
