BROADCASTSYNC, BTPWROFF, CHANNEL, CHKSUM, Using Message Checksums on BRI TCP

Page 100 highlights

Chapter 4 - BRI Commands BROADCASTSYNC Enables or disables the transmission of BroadcastSync commands. BROADCASTSYNC commands are sent periodically to distribute the current time to the tags. The time is determined by the value of the UTCTIME attribute. The value represents the number of seconds between BroadcastSync commands. If the value is zero, BroadcastSync commands will not be sent. If the value is non-zero, the commands will be sent periodically when the reader is identifying tags (read, write, erase, etc). When the reader is reset, this attribute defaults to zero. The user application must reset this value anytime the reader powers up or anytime the reader issues a BRI EVT:RESET. The range of value is 0 to 65535. Default is 0. BTPWROFF Sets the time period (in seconds) for which the Bluetooth radio (if available) will search for a Bluetooth connection. If no connection is created during the configured time period, the Bluetooth radio will be turned off completely to save power in mobile applications. The range of value is 30 to 3600 seconds. Default is 300 seconds. CHANNEL Determines the transmit channel that will be used for non-hopping 915 MHz readers. This attribute is not available on other readers. Attempts to query or set this attribute on readers that do not support CHANNEL will return an error. The range and default depend on the configured country code. CHKSUM Note: If your BRI application communicates with the reader over a TCP connection, you cannot modify this attribute from the default. For details, see "BRI TCP Applications" on page 3. Configures the reader to include a checksum value in returned data. The checksum is two characters sent just prior to the command delimiter. For more details, see "Using Message Checksums" on page 16. You can set this attribute to ON or OFF. Default is OFF. This example enables transmission of the response checksum data: ATTRIBUTE CHKSUM=ON This example disables transmission of the response checksum data: ATTRIBUTE CHKSUM=OFFC9 Note: If the CHKSUM attribute is enabled (CHKSUM=ON), the TTY and ECHO attributes are automatically disabled (TTY=OFF and ECHO=OFF). 88 Basic Reader Interface Programmer Reference Manual

Basic Reader Interface Programmer Reference Manual
BROADCASTSYNC
Enables or disables the transmission of BroadcastSync commands.
BROADCASTSYNC commands are sent periodically to distribute the current time
to the tags. The time is determined by the value of the UTCTIME attribute. The
value represents the number of seconds between BroadcastSync commands. If the
value is zero, BroadcastSync commands will not be sent. If the value is non-zero, the
commands will be sent periodically when the reader is identifying tags (read, write,
erase, etc). When the reader is reset, this attribute defaults to zero. The user
application must reset this value anytime the reader powers up or anytime the
reader issues a BRI EVT:RESET. The range of value is 0 to 65535. Default is 0.
BTPWROFF
Sets the time period (in seconds) for which the Bluetooth radio (if available) will
search for a Bluetooth connection. If no connection is created during the configured
time period, the Bluetooth radio will be turned off completely to save power in
mobile applications. The range of value is 30 to 3600 seconds. Default is 300
seconds.
CHANNEL
Determines the transmit channel that will be used for non-hopping 915 MHz
readers. This attribute is not available on other readers. Attempts to query or set this
attribute on readers that do not support CHANNEL will return an error. The range
and default depend on the configured country code.
CHKSUM
Configures the reader to include a checksum value in returned data. The checksum
is two characters sent just prior to the command delimiter. For more details, see
“Using Message Checksums” on page 16
.
You can set this attribute to ON or OFF. Default is OFF.
This example enables transmission of the response checksum data:
ATTRIBUTE CHKSUM=ON<CRLF>
This example disables transmission of the response checksum data:
ATTRIBUTE CHKSUM=OFFC9<CRLF>
Note:
If your BRI application communicates with the reader over a TCP connection,
you cannot modify this attribute from the default. For details, see
“BRI TCP
Applications” on page 3
.
Note:
If the CHKSUM attribute is enabled (
CHKSUM=ON
), the TTY and ECHO
attributes are automatically disabled (
TTY=OFF
and
ECHO=OFF
).
