8.8.26 Command: Set read/write head password
NOTE
The command is only available for applications with UHF tags and the HF tags with
chip types EM42… and NXP SLIX2.
The Set read/write head password command is a direct command used to set a password for
read access, write access or a kill command. The password is stored temporarily in the memory
of the read/write device. After the voltage of the read/write device is reset, the password must
be set again in the read/write device. With UHF applications, the password is stored in the
memory of the interface. The password stored in the read/write device is automatically sent
with a write command, a read command or a kill command so that the command can be ex-
ecuted on a protected tag.
In HF applications, the password function is available in single-tag mode only. A fault signal is
output with multitag applications. To troubleshoot, set the HF: multitag parameter to 0: multi-
tag mode off. In order to use the password function in HF applications, the password in the tag
and the read/write head must match. The default password is 0000 and must be set first of all in
the read/write head before a new password can be assigned ( [}154]). The command is suppor-
ted for chip type NXP SLIX2 of HF read/write heads with firmware version Vx.98 or higher.
