#321 Enable EAC Page Append
Note: Note: This functionality was added to the Encompass® 2 Reader to handle a
special unique customer requirement, and is retained in the Encompass 4 Reader for
full backward compatibility.
Command #321 selects the option to append an additional predefined 8 bytes of data
to be read from an eGo® or eGo Plus tag when the reader is in ID only mode (i.e., not
eATA) and multitag sort is enabled. The additional bytes that are read from the tag are
in locations 10 through 17.
The reader transmits the message with EAC page append as follows. The EAC append
data occurs before time and date append data and AUX append data if they are
enabled.
<tag ID>&<EAC page data>
