TransCore 0596465PT15 Manuel D’Utilisation

Like the Encompass 4H Reader commands, responses are preceded by the # character. 
Many Encompass 4H Reader commands respond with #Done or #Error indicating 
the command was or was not recognized and completed. Other commands respond 
with a four-character identifier followed by one or more values.

 shows an example of a command/reply sequence. This example assumes 

that an Encompass 4H Reader with serial number SN97001P running version X.XX 
software is connected to a PC running a terminal emulation software package such as 
Windows Hyper Terminal or Procomm Plus. The command sequence verifies that 
communications are working correctly.

#01 <CR>

#Done <CR/LF>

Switches Encompass 4H 
Reader to command mode.

#505 <CR> #Model E4 Series Ver X.XX 

SN08001P <CR/LF>

Reports the software 
version and serial number.

#00 <CR>

#Done <CR/LF>

Returns Encompass 4H 
Reader to data mode.

In command discussions, Encompass 4H Reader response characters may be shown in 
brackets < >. The use of brackets indicates that the response is a value in the range of 
characters. The brackets are not part of the response. For example, the response to 
command #520 Display Power Fail Bit is either a 0 or a 1. In the command discus-
sion, the response is shown as:

#PWRB <0-1>

with actual Encompass 4H Reader response being one of the following:

#PWRB 0

#PWRB 1

In this example, PWRB is the four-character identifier for power fail bit, and the 0 or 1 
is the value. All spaces shown in the response are actual spaces sent from the Encom-
pass 4H Reader. In this example, one space is between the letter B and the number. 

5

Indicates the setting. Normally this is a variable and is usually a 
hexadecimal value from 0 through F. In this example, 5 sets the baud 
rate to 9600, the factory setting. In some commands, this digit may be 
a four-place hexadecimal string or a character string.
