Appendix D: Receiver Commands
Network Receiver Commands
All commands issued to the Network Reader are preceded by a numeric entry followed by an
alpha character. Any command that is not preceded by a numeric entry will be ignored.
The 'c' command set is used for all commands that do not require entry of a specific numeric
value, such as setting a specific configuration attribute ON or OFF. The format for ‘c’
commands is
<code>c
where <code> is a two digit numeric command code that determines
the specific action to be taken by the Receiver. For example, the command “15c” sets the
Wiegand output flag to ON, and “29c” sets Wiegand output to OFF.
In addition to ‘c’, there are additional commands that allow the user to input specific values for
certain attributes of the Receiver. The format for these commands is
<number><character>
where <number> is the three-digit ASCII number for the input value and <character> is an
ASCII letter or symbol that determines the specific attribute to be modified in the Receiver.
For example, the command
<number>
I
is used to set the Receiver’s Device ID. The
<number> value must be within the range specified for each command in order to be valid.
The commands supported by the Network Receiver are as follows:
Global Configuration and Output Control
<number>I set Device ID for Network Receiver; valid numbers = 0 thru 999 (default = 001)
20c set Wiegand/TTL interrupts to ON; i.e. enable Wiegand/TTL capabilities (default)
35c set Wiegand/TTL interrupts to OFF; i.e. disable Wiegand/TTL capabilities
(Note: Setting Wiegand/TTL interrupts to OFF via command 35c maximizes the speed at
which tag read data will be processed and output over a serial or TCP/IP connection.)
22c set serial diagnostics output to OFF; i.e. output tag data per configuration settings
(default)
39c set serial diagnostics output to ON; i.e. output tag read data in diagnostic format
38c return and display current configuration information; i.e. Device ID, Valid ID list, and
configuration settings/values
40c output Supervisory “ping” response; i.e. receiver’s Device ID and firmware version
Configure/Control Serial Output
23c set serial data rate to 4800 baud
24c set serial data rate to 9600 baud (default)
25c set serial data rate to 19200 baud
18c set tag read serial output to ON; i.e. output tag read data (default)
32c set tag read output to OFF; i.e. disable tag read data output
21c set serial output to the long format RRRAAAFFFTTTTT (default)
where RRR = Receiver ID, AAA = Activator ID or Status Code, FFF = Facility Code, TTTTT =
Tag ID
36c set serial output to short format AAAFFFTTTTT
where AAA = Activator ID or Status Code, FFF = Facility Code, TTTTT = Tag ID
