The purpose of the Carrier ID Reader/Writer Functional Standard effort is to provide a common specification for concepts, behavior, and services (functions) provided by a Carrier ID Reader and a Carrier ID Reader/Writer to an upstream controller. A standard interface will increase interchangeability of Carrier ID Reader/Writers so that users and equipment suppliers have a wider range of choices.
The Carrier ID Reader/Writer Interface Standard addresses the functional requirements for a generic Carrier ID Reader/Writer interface with an upstream controller.<br>This Specification includes required behavior and required communications for both a Carrier ID Reader and a Carrier ID Reader/Writer.<br>This Specification does not require, define, or prohibit asynchronous messages sent by the Carrier ID Reader or Reader/Writer.
