DoD Encoding Type
The 64-bit or 96-bit binary (base 2) number is then converted into hexadecimal (base 16) format for
encoding. The result is a unique number that can be written to the tag.
The table below shows the hex result of the two examples given in the DoD Guide referenced above. We
can use the values in the DoD encoding examples that follow.

Table 5-10: DoD encoding results using sample values
Example 1 - DoD-96
In this example, a supplier with an assigned CAGE code is encoding a 96-bit tag on a case of
goods.Note that the steps to create a DoD-64 tag are very similar. The DoD fields are the same but differ
in the data size.Note, however, that DoD-64 encoding cannot be used with Class 1 Generation 2 tag
types, which require a 96-bit EPC identifier.
1. Create an RFID Smart Label.
2. Using the tool, add 2 variable text fields to the label:
l A field called Company_GID that contains the company CAGE code
l A serial number field called SerialNum
3. Double click the RFID antenna icon. (Alternatively, select and then right click the RFID antenna
icon. From the popup menu, select Edit Data Source.)
4. From the Data Source dialog, select Block Configuration and then click Configure to launch the
Block Configuration dialog.
5. Select UHF 96-bit Class 1 from the Select Tag Type list.
6. In the EPC block, select DOD from the Data Source column. Click in the Data cell and then click
the browse button (...).
7. From the DOD Configuration dialog, set the DOD Encoding Type property to DoD-96. Refer to
the DoD Configuration section for a description of DoD fields on this dialog.
8. Set the Filter Value. Select the Choice Data Source, and select 0 from the Data drop-down list.
This denotes case packaging level.
9. For the Government Managed Identifier:
l Set its Data Source to Field and then select Company_GID from the Data drop-down list.
