Using the 6055B in Transaction Mode
Transaction Mode allows developers and integrators to create their own software
or firmware programs that can use the HID MIFARE Reader to read or write to a
MIFARE card. The actual application program (vending, debit, transit, etc.)
resides in the host computer or micro-controller – it does not reside on the
reader.
Transaction Mode requires a connection to the reader’s RS-232 port. The reader
is set to Transaction Mode by a command from the host computer – no
command card or factory pre-configuration is required.
The HID reader performs three important functions:
•
Manages the RF interface with the card
•
Manages the communications and encryption
•
Reads and writes to the card
Because there is no standard for communicating with a MIFARE reader, each
manufacturer has its own unique protocol.
HID has made its complete protocol available to developers as part of the HID
MIFARE Developer’s Resource Kit, containing a protocol document and
programming guide, some example software, a sales demo program, and a
reader with power supply and desktop stand.
By using this protocol, the connected PC or controller can:
•
Read or write to any sector on the card (except HID Wiegand data)
•
Load or rewrite keys
•
Increment or decrement a stored value sector
•
Scan or modify the MIFARE Applications Directory
•
Control the beeper and LED
