1 Introduction
This document describes the RFID-reading device ARE DT1 LF and the set-up procedure.
The main features of the reader are listed below:
• integrated USB interface selectable either communications port (similar RS232) or HID
• USB powered (no external supply voltage necessary)
• compact design
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------4/27--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Rev 09
2 Startup and testing the reader
• Connect the reader with the USB interface from your notebook or pc
• The reader is supplied via the USB interface. The supply differs depending on the used port. To
reach the maximal reading distance a powerfull supply is essential. A USB hub with its own
power supply can deliver this.
• In the device manager there will appear a new device (AEG ID Communications Port)
• In the brackets you see the port number of the device (e.g. COM5)
• Open the “Demo Terminal“ on the CD
• Open the menu “Settings”
• You have to set the following settings: baud rate 19200 baud, 8 data bits, no parity, 1 stop bit, ,
no flow control.
• Send the command „VER <CR>“ to the reader. The reader answers with the actual firmware
version (e.g. AEG ID Multi-ISO V2.034).
• Send the command “MD <SP> 0 <CR>” to the reader. The reader sends No Read messages
(XXXXXXXX), while there is no transponder in the antenna field available (if CN parameter ist
0). If there is a transponder present in the antenna field the reader sends its serial.
3 AEG ID instruction set
3.1 General
The command set described below defines the transfer of data on the serial interface.
The commands consist of a command code and optionally of a parameter value. Commands are terminated by the control character <CR> (0Dh). The control character serves as command line terminator.
Command codes and parameters,including all letters and numerical values, are principally transmitted as a sequence of ASCII characters (the value 255 (decimal) consequently as 32H, 35H, 35H; the
command RST as 52H, 53H, 54H).

3.1.1 Entering instructions
The protocol format is as follows
Command <SP> parameter <CR>
The space character <SP> separates commands from parameters and the <CR> character acts as
command line terminator.
For commands without parameter values (e.g. GT ) the <SP> character and parameter values are
omitted. The command line is as short as this:
Command <CR>
3.1.2 Output format
Generally, every input terminated by <CR> is acknowledged by the reader. The following response
protocols are different:
3.1.2.1 Instruction specific output
After entering a valid command without a parameter value, the system answers by sending the parameter value and <CR>. Example:
Command: GT <CR>
Output: Transponder number or No Read <CR>
3.1.2.2 Output after changing a parameter
After entering a valid command together with a parameter value, the system answers by sending the
parameter value and <CR>. Example:
Command: MD <SP> 2 <CR>
Output: 2 <CR>
After entering an invalid parameter value, the system answers with the corresponding error code. Error
message:
Command: MD <SP> 4 <CR>
Output: NAK <SP> #02 <CR>
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------6/27--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Rev 09
3.1.2.3 Output at parameter query
Parameter settings can be queried by sending the command without adding a parameter value. Example:
Command: MD <CR>
Output: 2 <CR>
3.1.3 Blank instuction
If a single <CR> is input, the reader answers with a single <CR>. Example:
Command: <CR>
Output: <CR>
3.1.4 Incorrect instruction / error codes
If a command is not entered correctly, the reader sends one of the following error codes:
ERROR CODE MEANING
NAK #00 <CR> unknown command
NAK #02 <CR> wrong parameter
NAK #10 <CR> antenna failure
XXXXXXXX <CR> no read
ACK no error/acknowledge
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------7/27--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Rev 09
3.1.5 Upper and lower case
The instruction set isn’t case-sensitiv.
3.1.6 Linefeed
The reader does never send a linefeed. If you use a terminal program it can add the linefeed. You have to
choose the option “displace CR with CR LF”.

3.2 Instructions for the hardware settings
3.2.1 BD – baudrate
The command BD enables the change of the baud rate. The settings are directly effective.
Input format: BD <SP> parameter <CR>
Output (example): 2 <CR>
Parameter:
PARAMETER FUNCTION
0 4800 baud
1 9600 baud
2 19200 baud
3 38400 baud
3.2.2 EC – Echo
The EC command allows to change the echo function.
Input format: EC <SP> parameter <CR>
Parameter:
PARAMETER FUNCTION
0 Echo off
1 Echo on
Output (example): 0 <CR>
