CHAPTER 1 Hand Held Unit
1.1 Introduction
The HHU consists of an off-the-shelf Casio® Industrial CassiopeiaTM Personal
Digital Assistant (PDA) and a CTS-designed peripheral called the Micro
Tri-ReaderTM (µTR) for reading Contactless Smart Cards (CSCs). The µTR resides
in the CompactFlash (CF) slot of the Cassiopeia. The HHU is capable of securely
reading and writing to ISO 14443 Type A, ISO 14443 Type B (with appropriate
software), and GO CARD® CSCs. It can disable cards that are negative listed,
resolve incomplete trips, and adjust tickets on CSCs as needed. It is capable of
carrying full-fare tables and validating and issuing all ticket types. When combined
with a belt printer, the HHU can be used as a Portable Ticket Issuing Device.

installed.
Figure 1. Cassiopeia User Interface
Valid/invalid card reads will be signaled by one of the tri-color (red, green, orange)
lamp indicators. Red will signal an invalid read. Green will signal a valid read.
Audio tones will also signal a valid or invalid card read.

CHAPTER 3 Enclosure
3.1 Case
The main body of the HHU is the Casio Cassiopeia (see Figure 2) PDA. The
external CF Slot will be populated by a µTR CF Card that will be protected by a
cover. The Cassiopeia can be held comfortably in one hand and the µTR cover will
face the passenger with an easily recognizable target area.

3.2 Micro Tri-Reader
The µTR is a low-power, compact device that can securely read and write to ISO
14443 Type A, ISO 14443 Type B, and GO CARD CSCs. It enables secure CSC
processing in portable Hand Held Devices.
3.2.1 Host Interface
The physical connector for interfacing to the host system conforms to the CF PC
Card Standard.
3.3 Security Access Module
The Active Antenna Board has a slot to accommodate an optional ISO 7816
Security Access Module (SAM).
3.4 Casio Cassiopeia Description
The Casio Cassiopeia supports the HHU transit application. It can store and process
fare tables, fare rules, negative lists, and transaction data. The Cassiopeia makes
read and write requests to the µTR. The µTR acts as the channel by which secure
communication takes place between the transit application and the CSC.
3.4.1 Operating System
The Cassiopeia uses the Windows CE Version 3.0 Pocket PC operating system.
3.4.2 CF Expansion Slot
A second internal CF slot is available for memory expansion or addition of
peripherals such as a radio modem. A radio modem can be used to communicate
with other equipment such as a printer that has the same wireless communication
capability.

3.4.3 Data Upload/Download
The Cassiopeia communicates to a central system for the uploading or downloading
of data via a charging and communications cradle. Communication between the
unit and the cradle is via an IrDA interface.
3.4.4 Display
A 3.8-inch monochrome liquid crystal display (LCD) with touch panel capability is
used. The resolution of the display is 240 × 320. The display uses FSTN technology
and employs a light emitting diode (LED) backlight.
