1 INTRODUCTION
The SmartWave Box, a hardware device, is the perfect solution for testing contactless cards. It
can read and simulate contactless smart cards; and also can analyze or spy the communication
between a contactless card and terminal.
With its various modes of operation, the SmartWave Box is the most versatile tool available
today for contactless testing.
1.1 Scope of document
This the user manual describes how to setup and use the SmartWave Box.
1.2 Intended audience
This document is intended for the user of the SmartWave Box. Audiences are assumed to have
a fair understanding of the standards related to smart cards and CL cards and related tests.
1.3 Terminology
To avoid confusion the term ‘internal terminal’ is used to refer to the internal active antenna of
the terminal side of the SmartWave Box, the internal terminal communicates with the Card-
under-test (CUT). The external passive antenna is referred as the ‘(CL) probe’ and
communicates with the Terminal-under-test (TUT).

5 FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
5.1 Housing
The SmartWave Box has about the same size as the SmartLink Box. The antenna of the internal
terminal is placed underneath the top cover and its position is clearly marked. On the back of
the SmartWave Box a power connector, a USB connector and the CL probe connector are
placed. On the front of the box are LEDs which shows CL card, terminal status and
communication. The front also carries test connectors to view information on an oscilloscope.
Fig. 1 The SmartWave Box
5.2 LEDs
The SmartWave Box has the following LEDs:
Power Red LED
Intern Tx/Rx Tri-color LED, green = Data Rx, red = Data Tx
Probe Tx/Rx Tri-color LED, green = Data Rx, red = Data Tx
Internal terminal RF Tri-color LED, green = RF only, amber = RF and modulation
CL probe RF Tri-color LED, green = RF only, amber = RF and modulation
The communication signaling of the tri-color LEDs is stretched, i.e. short frames are show as
being longer.
5.3 Connectors
The SmartWave Box is fitted with the following coaxial connectors for connection with an
oscilloscope:
Internal terminal RF Buffered antenna RF signal of the internal terminal
Internal raw data (Rx) Raw Rx data

Fig. 2 Front panel of the SmartWave box
The test connectors are MCX female PCB-mounted connectors.
Note: Check section 7.1 Technical for other detail technical data.
5.4 Terminal / Card side
The SmartWave Box has an internal terminal for terminal emulation and a CL probe to emulate
as a CL card for communication with the CL terminal.
Both the internal terminal and the CL probe support ISO 14443 Type A and B and ISO 18092
NFCIP-1.
The CL probe is connected by a cable with the SmartWave Box, using a 6 pin FireWire
connector at the backpanel of the box.
All communications with CUT and / or TUT are performed with nominal values for magnetic
field strength and modulation depths, since reliable tests with other values require a, per test,
calibration of these values. Tests of ISO 14443/2 will not be performed with the SmartWave
Box, although the SmartWave Box facilitates these measurements with the analog RF output
connectors.
5.5 Modes of operation
The SmartWave Box has the following modes of operation:
Analyzer mode
Interceptor mode
Terminal emulation/Card reader mode
Card simulator mode
Passive spy mode
SmartWave Box
User Manual
Status: Final draft
7/14
Version: 1.2
5.5.1 Analyzer mode
The CL CUT and the TUT are connected via the SmartWave Box. The SmartWave Box will
resupply the RF signal driver. In addition I/O direction information, CL card power level (if
supplied by the card) and timestamps are transferred to the driver.
The I/O and I/O direction information is output to high impedance connectors on the front of
the SmartWave Box (Different output can be configured through API).
Power levels if available are relative otherwise it requires calibration for each test and test setup
with a known (external) reference.
5.5.2 Interceptor mode
The interceptor mode looks the same as the Analyzer mode; however the I/O data is not
directly moved between the CUT and the TUT. The data from CL card or the terminal is sent to
the host computer which will send the same or modified data to the terminal or the CL card.
Due to timing constraints the level 3 anti-collision is performed directly by card and terminal
without host intervention, however all frames are passed to the host. After that the level 4
transfers are routed via the host computer.
5.5.3 Terminal emulation/Card reader mode
In the terminal emulation mode the SmartWave Box acts as an intelligent CL card reader. This
enables tests with various bit rates and modulation types.
This mode can be used to perform the tests as described in ISO 10373-6 Amd.1 and ISO 23917,
apart of the level 2 tests.

Version: 1.2
5.5.4 Card simulator mode
In the card simulator mode only the CL probe is used and directly controlled by the host
computer.
This mode can be used to perform the tests as described in ISO 10373-6 Amd.3 and ISO 23917,
apart from level 2 tests.
5.5.5 Passive spy mode
The card spying mode uses a passive pick-up coil to capture communication between a CL card
and a terminal. Neither the CL card nor the terminal needs to be connected with the host
computer. Care is taken to influence the CL card – terminal communication a less as possible.
Note: The passive spy mode is only available with v02.00+ hardware; active spy will be used
on v01.xx boxes.
With active spy, it works using the setup like analyse mode, while the box only forwards the
raw signal between CUT and TUT instead of transmitting bytes.

6 COMMUNICATING WITH THE SMARTWAVE BOX
The SmartWave Box is command driven. The host computer configures the SmartWave Box
and will either passively capture data or actively interact with CL card or terminal.
The frame transfer is of a request – response type, where the host computer sends the requests
and the SmartWave Box sends the response.
For some events the SmartWave Box sends unsolicited messages.
6.1 Host interface protocol
The host computer – SmartWave Box protocol is TLV (Tag, Length, Value) based, this allows
easy adaptations in the future.
Every message, both from the host or from the SmartWave Box, starts with a 2 byte start frame
delimiter (SFD) and ends with an end frame delimiter (EFD). The 1st byte of the SFD = 0xF3,
the 2nd byte 0xA0, the 1st byte of the EFD = 0x0E, the 2nd byte 0xFD.
A command message can contain a number of TLV structures, the responses also contain more
than one TLV, see below.
SFD
Tag0
Len0
Value0
Tag1
Len1
Value1
TagN
LenN
ValueN
EFD
To ease processing by 16-bit word based processors, all fields have an even length. The basic
structure of a TLV field is shown below:
Length
Name
Description
2
Tag
The Tag signals value type
2
Length
This field shows the length of the following value (always even)
0 - 65534
Value
The field contains the relevant data.
NB. If the length field equals 00 00, the value field is not available.
When the data in the value field has an odd length, that length has to given in the Len field and
Value field is padded with a zero byte, resulting in an even Value field length. So when 7 bytes
of data (11 22 33 44 55 66 77) have to be transferred, the message will be as follows:
SFD
Tag
Length
Value
Padding
EFD
F3 A0
00 xx
00 07
11 22 33 44 55 66 77
00
0E FD
When the length of the value field exceeds 65534, the value field is split in 2 parts; the 1st part
with a length of 65534 and a 2nd part containing the rest with an ‘extended data’ tag.
For example a frame with a length of 6600 0 bytes (0x101D0) to be sent to the TUT will be
transferred as follow (al hex values):
SFD
Tag
Length
Value
Tag ext.

Last part of data field with more than 65534 bytes
(This tag must directly follow the 1st data part)
Source and destination addressing is implicit and depends on the tag value. Tags destined for
the SmartWave Box have an even high nibble for the low byte, responses have odd high nibbles
of the low bytes (apart from tag 00 80).
Some messages from the host only allow for one type of tag, other messages allow a number of
specified tags.
Single tag type messages only can have a single tag = 00 00, 00 01, 00 23, 00 40 and 00 41
(hex).
Multiple tag messages can have the following combinations:
- tag = 00 20 followed by 00 80 and / or 00 25 (hex)
- tag = 00 21 followed by 00 80 and / or 00 25 (hex)
Tag 00 25 can’t be the first tag in a message.
Messages from the SmartWave Box with tags of 00 10, 00 11, 00 15, 00 16, 00 33 and 00 50
(hex) are single tag messages, tag 00 01 only may occur once in a message.
Tags 00 10 and 00 11 are response messages for respectively 00 00 and 00 01.
Tag 00 33 is the response of tag 00 23.

Version: 1.2
Tag 00 50 is the response status for either 00 40 or 00 41 command tags.
Messages starting with 00 30 or 00 31 (hex) are multiple tag messages and can be followed by
tags 00 80, 00 35 and / or 00 36 (hex).
The SmartWave Box only reacts on messages starting with tag values 00 00, 00 01, 00 20, 00
21, 00 23, 00 40or 00 41, other tag values are quietly discarded.
The data transfers between host and SmartWave Box are Transport Protocol Data Unit (TPDU)
based. That allows the transfer of level 3 and 4 frames. For level 4 also Application Protocol
Data Units (APDUs) are defined. APDUs to the SmartWave Box must translated by the host
into TPDUs and back.
Note: Checksums, like LRC and CRC, have to be supplied by the host computer. The
checksum coming from the SmartWave Box have to be checked by the host computer.
In case of higher level tests the SmartWave Box can connect automatically with the card or
terminal under test if commanded to. That allows level 4 testing without need for level 3
handling.
Note: Check the technical specification of the SmartWave Box for detail host protocol
information.
