After theDiagnosis completion, Reader/Writer sends back the test result. 4.2.7 Check Firmware Version Command Check Firmware Version Command is used for checking the version ofReader/Writer firmware. 4.2.8 Change Communication Mode Command Change Communication Mode Command performs the following changes : baudrate, logic level interface(non-inverted or inverted), encryption on/off, time-out. 4.2.9 Kill Module Command Kill Module Command is used for killing the specified module within Reader/Writer. 4.2.10 Reader/Writer Reset Command Reader/Writer Reset Command executes the initialization routine. 4.2.11 Firmware Maintenance Command Firmware Maintenance Command is used for updating the firmware withinReader/Writer. 4.3 Card Operation Command 4.3.1 Polling Command Polling Command enables Reader/Writer to give a call to Card and to detectexistence of Card by the response from Card. 4.3.2 Request Service Command Request Service Command enables Reader/Writer to check whether the specifiedservice code is registered to Card or not. In case that the specified service isregistered to Card, key version of the service is available by the response from Card. 4.3.3 Request Response Command Request Response Command enables Reader/Writer to check which mode Card isin. There are 4 modes, ‘before Authentication’, ‘after Authentication 1’, ‘afterAuthentication 2’ and ‘after Register xxx Command (see 4.4 Card ManagementCommand)’. 4.3.4 Mutual Authentication Command Mutual Authentication Command activates the mutual authentication procedurebetween Reader/Writer and Card. 4.3.5 Read Block Command Read Block Command activates Reader/Writer to read the specified block data fromCard after the mutual authentication between the Reader/Writer and Card has beenestablished successfully. Read Block Command enables a Service Provider with successful mutualauthentication to read blocks that this Service Provider has the right to access. With one Read Block Command, up to 8 block can be read simultaneously. If morethan 8 blocks should be read, more than one Read Block Command shall be calledseparately. The response of Read Block Command is a 1byte Read result and Block Data thathas been read. In the Read result, a 1byte consequence of one block Read is givenin 1bit. As there are up to 8 blocks, 1byte is enough to record all the Readconsequence.

With one Write Block Command, up to 8 block can be written simultaneously. Ifmore than 8 blocks should be written, more than one Write Block Command shall becalled separately. The response of Write Block Command is a 1byte Write result. In the Write result, a1byte consequence of one block Write is given in 1bit. As there are up to 8 blocks,1byte is enough to record all the Write consequence. The purse operation can be performed with Write Block Command. 4.3.7 Release Command Release Command enables Card to be released from established communicationsequence with Reader/Writer. 4.3.8 Read Without Encryption Command Read Without Encryption Command activates Reader/Writer to read the specifiedblock data from Card without the mutual authentication between the Reader/Writerand Card. Read Without Encryption Command can be applied only to blocks whichservice code is registered security-free. The number of blocks that can be read simultaneously and the response of ReadWithout Encryption Command are the same as those for Read Block Command (see4.3.5). 4.3.9 Write Without Encryption Command Write Without Encryption Command activates Reader/Writer to write the specifiedblock data to Card without the mutual authentication between the Reader/Writer andCard, however can be applied only to blocks which service code is registeredsecurity-free. The number of blocks that can be write simultaneously and the response of WriteWithout Encryption Command are the same as those for Write Block Command (see4.3.6).

In case of adjusting thevariable capacitor on the RF/Control board to maximize the output level, theminimum distance between the boards is improved to 15mm . (see Fig. 3)-  In the effective operating scope of the antenna, there shall be nothing thatgenerates electric or magnetic noise. Neither shall there be an electric ormagnetic shield or reflection.-  Emission from another Reader/Writer affects the operating distance. Inoperating plural Reader/Writers simultaneously, it is desirable for antennaboards to be separated more than 70cm each other in order to keep the100mm operating distance. However, Reader/Writers can be operated underless than 70cm separation each other with no problem except for decrease ofthe operating distance.RC-S445ABDCEF123456RC-S441ABDCEF123456

Neither shall there be an electric ormagnetic shield or reflection. Type E antenna is affected by conductivematerial more easily than other antenna types because a ferrite block is notattached on the antenna board.-  Emission from another Reader/Writer affects the operating distance. Inoperating plural Reader/Writers simultaneously, it is desirable for antennaboards to be separated more than 50cm each other in order to keep the40mm operating distance. However, Reader/Writers can be operated underless than 50cm separation each other with no problem except for decrease ofthe operating distance.•Interface Connector : Methode 1100-12-110-02 (right angle) The interface connector is a 10-pin connector located at the right edge of theRF/Control board which is shown in the schematic drawing of Fig.7. The pitch ofconnector pins is 2.54mm. The most upper connector pin is No. 1. Pinassignment of the connector is shown in Fig. 4 and Table 5.•External Interfaceserial 1 port : RS-485A, CMOS logic level (5V)software selectable, non-inverted or inverted, and baud rate(default setting : non-inverted, 115.2kbps)•Dimensions (see Fig.7 and Fig.9) antenna:   65mm × 40mm × 6mm            (PCB thickness 1mm, connector height 5mm) RF/Control board:   104mm × 67mm × 10.5mm (PCB thickness 1mm) cable:   length 120mmRC-S441ABDCEF123456
