1.4 Regulation Information This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) this device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation. NOTE: This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC Rules.
“The device complies with part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation” Important Note: The OEM integrator is still responsible for the FCC compliance requirement of the end product, which integrates this module. Appropriate measurements (eg.
2.2 Usage of Escape Commands (DESKO Specific APDUs) In order to receive or send an Escape command to a reader, the entry “EscapeCommandEnable” must be added to the Windows registry and set to a non-zero value under one of the following keys: • • HKLM\SYSTEM\CCS\Enum\USB\VID_1AC2&PID_0300\1.00\Device Parameters (prior to Windows 7). HKLM\SYSTEM\CCS\Enum\USB\ VID_1AC2&PID_0300\1.00\Device Then the vendor IOCTL for the Escape command is defined as follows: IOCTL_CCID_ESCAPE SCARD_CTL_CODE(3500).
How to disable Windows Smart Card PnPS To disable Windows Smart Card PnP Service, please follow these steps: 1. Click on “Start“, type gpedit msc in the “search programs and files” box. Confirm with ENTER. 2. In the Local Group Policy Editor Navigation pane, select “Computer Configuration“, and then “Administrative Templates.” 3. In the details pane, double-click “Windows Components”, and then double-click “Smart Card.” 4.
2.4 Specific Application Antenna Handling Usually, the DESKO RFID Reader Module searches automatically for smart card technologies at the antennas. Nevertheless, in some cases it may be necessary to disable/enable the antennas or to search with only one antenna at a time. The following example shows, how enabling or disabling of the antenna can be used to optimize the read result: Functional Description DESKO RFID Reader Module - CONFIDENTIAL Doc # 7 001 17 07 Page 11 of 16 Doc.-Rev.
3 Hardware Integration Rules 3.1 Hardware Integration in Metal Environment When integrating a DESKO Smart Card Reader, please make sure that there are no metal objects close to the device. Any metal object near the DESKO Smart Card Reader detunes the RFID antennas and therefore reduces the RFID reading performance. Should you want to integrate a DESKO Smart Card Reader in a metal environment, please contact your DESKO contact person or our DESKO support team via e-mail under support@desko.
Shows compile date. Example: “Response: 4A756E202036203230313600” = Jun 6 2016 Get compile time Send: FF680011010001 Response: NULL terminated ASCII string Shows compile time. Example: “Response: 31303A30333A353000” = 10:03:50 Get Protocol Version Send: FF680012010001 Response: NULL terminated ASCII string Example: Shows latest protocol version. Shows latest protocol version of DESKO “Response: 303000” specific APDUs.
4.2 Settings APDUs The following APDUs are only temporarily stored. After rebooting the device, you get the values of the default setting again. Settings APDUs Description Send: FF680009010001 Get Antenna Selection Response: 1 Byte Determines which antennas are used to search for smart Example: card technologies.
“Response: 02” Values: = 00 → 106 kBit 424kBit 01 → 212 kBit Send: FF68000A010201 02 → 424 kBit Set Maximum TX Bitrate ² Response: none Sets maximum TX Bitrate. Example: Values: “02” = 424kBit Send: FF68000D010001 00 → 106 kBit 01 → 212 kBit 02 → 424 kBit Get Maximum RX Bitrate Response: 1 Byte Returns currently set maximum RX Bitrate.
03 → ISO 14443A + ISO 14443B Send: FF68000F02000101 Set Supported Technologies Response: 00 Returns which smart card technologies shall be searched for. Example: This value is coded bit by bit. “0001” = ISO14443A only Values: 00 → none 01 → ISO14443A 02 → ISO14443B Functional Description DESKO RFID Reader Module - CONFIDENTIAL Doc # 7 001 17 07 Page 16 of 16 Doc.-Rev.
