Hey,

You can't send commands to MOD-RFID-1356 while in UART mode. The firmware inside the unit does not allow it.

However, you can do that in USB CDC mode. If you want to change the parameters of MOD-RFID-1356 you need to switch from UART to USB CDC mode, enter the parameters you want and then switch back to UART.

Note that the behavior of MOD-RFID125-BOX is different (MOD-RFID125-BOX also allows sending configuration strings in UART mode).

Best regards,
