MANAGING INSIDE’S CHIPS PROTOCOLS
Low level command and C library
Protocols are always indicated in the command parameters (P2 for SELECT_CARD, P1
for TRANSMIT). You will find the appropriate value in this User’s Guide, and in the
description of each command in the «Reference manual».
ActiveX component
There are 2 command types :
- Card selection
- Select page, read, write...
Card selection
When selecting a card, you set the protocol to use in P2 parameter of the Mx.SelectCard
method. Coupler is able to test several protocols, and return the protocol use for card
detection.
Other operation (Read, Write, SelectPage etc...)
For any other operation, use the ActiveX propertie Mx.MxProtocolIndex to set the
protocol you want to use.
This property is automatically set after a SelectCard command thanks to the value returned
by the coupler indicating the protocol use for card selection.
If you want to change communication protocol when using a dual protocol chip
(PICOPASS - 15 693 & 14 443 type B), just change this protperty value to the desired
one, and all activeX command for INSIDE chip will use this protocol.
