Communication
The interface receives and transmits serial bit stream at voltage levels compatible with the USB specification.
Transmission Protocol
The user may select from three different protocols: Protocol 0, 1, and 2.
Upon reset, the reader sends the power-on response “:”, depending upon the configuration setting. The reader then
configures itself to the protocol of the first command from the host. From this point on, the protocol is
unchangeable until a reset occurs.
Protocol 0
In Protocol 0, all characters are transmitted and received using exactly the characters listed in section 4. There are
no headers and Block Check Characters (BCC). Protocol 0 presumes no transmission errors. If the host detects an
error, it may request a retransmission.
Table 3-3. Example for Protocol 0
Host Command Reader Response Comment
P Ready to read
^ Reader ACK
Protocol 1
In Protocol 1, all messages are preceded by the ASCII character <STX> and terminated with the ASCII character
<ETX>, followed by a one byte <BCC>. <BCC> is an XOR of the 7 data bits, excluding parity, of each character
in the entire message, including <STX>.
Format: <STX><MESSAGE><ETX><BCC>
where STX=02Hex and ETX=03Hex.
