AP4119 Rail Tag Programmer User Guide
TransCore Proprietary

If the tag is placed before or during the 10-second period, the programmer programs the user data,
verifies the user data, and sends a response to the host system. If the tag is not placed during the
10-second period, the programmer aborts the command, sends the #Error<cr> response to the
host, and emits a continuous audible tone.
When the tag is successfully programmed, the programmer responds with a triple beep and with the
following response:
xxx...<cr> #Done<cr>
where xxx... is the tag data read from the tag and is encoded in the specified format.
If the tag programming process fails, the programmer responds with a continuous audible tone and
with #Error<cr>.
If this response is received, repeat this sequence beginning at Step 1. Refer to Table 7 for
troubleshooting remedies.
Verifying Tag Data
To verify the data on a tag
1. Send the programmer the appropriate command. Use command #210 if you are using the TransCore
6-bit format for your data, command #211 for the 4-bit hex data format, command #230 if you are
verifying a page of SeGo data in the tag, or command #231 if you are verifying a byte of SeGo data in
the tag.
2. When the programmer begins its 10-second timer indicated by an audible beep once every second,
slide the proper tag (using the AT5549 End-of-Train Tag programmer adapter) into the tag holder and
close the door. (Figure 11 and Figure 12).
