Configuration Reset 

The Tag Reader Supports a configuration reset function. Configuration reset means  

-

 

All configuration values are defaulted. 

-

 

Wake up interval is defaulted. 

 
This function can be activated by sending a configuration set frame: 
 
CONFIGURATION_SET 
Parameter: 

0x01 

Size: 

 

0x01 (can’t be different from 1)  

Value:   

0xFF (can be any value except for 0x55) 

 
When the value of configuration value is requested 2 possible values can be returned 
 
CONFIGURATION_REPORT 
Parameter: 

0x01 

Value 0x55: 

Configuration settings of the device are altered.  

  

 

The device will report this even if the configuration parameters are changed 

  

 

back to the default value. 

Value 0xAA: 

Configuration of the device is untouched. 
Note that this value will not change to 0x55 upon modifying the wake up interval 
and that re-setting the value to 0xAA will always reset the wake up interval. 

 

Always awake mode  

The always awake mode is used to request different values from the device e.g. version and manufacturer 
specific. 
 
 

Note: 

in always awake mode the batteries will be drain very fast, we do not recommend to use this mode for a 

longer period. Always awake mode should only be used in order to configure the device. 
 

Note:  

it is not possible to use the buttons of the 

TagReader

 while it is operating in always awake mode. 

 
 
The always awake mode can be activated by: 
 
CONFIGURATION_SET 
Parameter: 

 

0x05 

Size: 

 

 

0x01 (can’t be different from 1) 

Value:   

 

0x03 (mode 3) 

 
The LED of the device will toggle on and off every second to notify you that it is functioning in always awake 
mode.
