Chapter 4 - BRI Commands LBTSCANENABLE LBT scanning is enabled, by default in ETSI 10 Channel mode in accordance with 302-208. Note: LBT scanning is permanently disabled in ETSI 4 channel mode in accordance with 302-208 v1.2.1. When LBT scanning is enabled, the algorithm scans the available ETSI 302-208 channels for a free transmit channel. In continuous read mode, the scan sequence begins with the channel specified by LBTCHANNEL and every third channel is checked (for example, 8, 11, 4, 7, 10, 13, 6, 9, 12, 5) until a free channel is found. If a free channel is not found, LBT repeats the scan sequence. In single-shot read mode, LBT scanning goes through all available channels at once. If no free channel is found, the reader will report "NOTAG" and abort the inventory operation. When LBT scanning is disabled, the reader does not scan for a free transmit channel, and the transmit channel is set by the LBTCHANNEL BRI attribute. The valid values in 4 channel mode are 4, 7, 10, 13. If LBTSCANENABLE is set to ON, the LBT algorithm will find a free channel from the 10 allowed. If LBTSCANENABLE is set to OFF, the transmit channel will be set by the attribute LBTCHANNEL. LOCKTRIES NOTAGRPT Sets the number of times the lock algorithm is executed before a response is returned to a LOCK command. Range is 1 to 254. Default is 3. This example tells the RFID reader lock algorithm to execute up to two times in order to lock data on the specified tags: ATTRIB LOCKTRIES=2 Allows the BRI to send a NOTAG message to notify you when no tags were found to operate on. You can set this attribute to ON or OFF. Default is OFF. This example enables NOTAGRPT, so that the NOTAG message is sent: ATTRIBUTE NOTAGRPT=ON This example disables NOTAGRPT, so that no message is sent: ATTRIBUTE NOTAGRPT=OFF Note: By default, NOTAGRPT is disabled. However, the examples in this manual assume that the NOTAGRPT attribute is enabled. For details about other assumptions, see "Conventions Used in This Manual" on page 5.

Chapter 4 — BRI Commands
Basic Reader Interface Programmer Reference Manual
93
LBTSCANENABLE
LBT scanning is enabled, by default in ETSI 10 Channel mode in accordance with
302-208.
When LBT scanning is enabled, the algorithm scans the available ETSI 302-208
channels for a free transmit channel.
In continuous read mode, the scan sequence begins with the channel specified by
LBTCHANNEL and every third channel is checked (for example, 8, 11, 4, 7, 10, 13, 6,
9, 12, 5) until a free channel is found. If a free channel is not found, LBT repeats the
scan sequence.
In single-shot read mode, LBT scanning goes through all available channels at once.
If no free channel is found, the reader will report “NOTAG” and abort the inventory
operation.
When LBT scanning is disabled, the reader does not scan for a free transmit channel,
and the transmit channel is set by the LBTCHANNEL BRI attribute.
The valid values in 4 channel mode are 4, 7, 10, 13.
If LBTSCANENABLE is set to ON, the LBT algorithm will find a free channel from
the 10 allowed.
If LBTSCANENABLE is set to OFF, the transmit channel will be set by the attribute
LBTCHANNEL.
LOCKTRIES
Sets the number of times the lock algorithm is executed before a response is
returned to a LOCK command. Range is 1 to 254. Default is 3.
This example tells the RFID reader lock algorithm to execute up to two times in
order to lock data on the specified tags:
ATTRIB LOCKTRIES=2<CRLF>
NOTAGRPT
Allows the BRI to send a NOTAG message to notify you when no tags were found to
operate on. You can set this attribute to ON or OFF. Default is OFF.
This example enables NOTAGRPT, so that the NOTAG message is sent:
ATTRIBUTE NOTAGRPT=ON
This example disables NOTAGRPT, so that no message is sent:
ATTRIBUTE NOTAGRPT=OFF
Note:
LBT scanning is permanently disabled in ETSI 4 channel mode in accordance
with 302-208 v1.2.1.
Note:
By default, NOTAGRPT is disabled. However, the examples in this manual
assume that the NOTAGRPT attribute is enabled. For details about other
assumptions, see
“Conventions Used in This Manual” on page 5
