Device Operating Modes
The IDBlue™ device has a number of operating modes, each performing different operations when
the hardware button the device is pressed. These modes are divided into Connected modes (when
the device has an active Bluetooth® connection to a PDA or other computing device) and
Disconnected (when the device does not have an active Bluetooth® connection).
Note: each of these operating modes is affected by the Continuous Scanning Flag – please refer to
the configuration section for details.
Disconnected Mode
The IDBlue™ device supports three disconnected modes, as listed below.
Tag Verify

Tag Verify
In
Tag Verify
mode, when the hardware button is pressed, the device will:
• Indicate a start of RFID operations by turning the LED orange
• Attempt to scan a tag using the currently configured RFID protocol.
• If a tag is successfully scanned, the device will indicate with a green LED and audio beep (if
audio feedback is enabled).
Store Tim Tag Id + Block 0 Data

Store Tim Tag Id + Block 0 Data
Store Tim Tag Id + Block 0 Data
In
Tag Store
mode (aka
Store Timestamp + Tag Id + Block 0 Data
), when the hardware button is
pressed, the device will:
• Check for a valid timestamp value (note: this check can be disabled through the
TIMESTAMPREQUIRED
property).
• If no valid timestamp is present (i.e. the device’s timestamp has not been set), the LED will
blink double-red.
• If a valid timestamp is present, the device will indicate a start of RFID operations by turning
the LED orange.
• Attempt to read block 0 from a tag using the currently configured RFID protocol.
• If a tag is successfully scanned, the device will indicate with a green LED and audio beep (if
audio feedback is enabled).
The current timestamp, tag ID, and contents of byte 0 (in block 0) on the tag will
then be stored in the internal tag database (see Tag Store for details). This data
can later be accessed through the
GET_TAG
command.
