AUTH:
1: Performs a standard INSIDE authentication.
Authentication is performed if the key is set as the current key.
Please refer to appendix A : «How to low a key» for key loading and key management
operations details.
0: Does not perform an authentication.
KEY:
1: Authenticates with Debit Key (Kd = Key 1) if AUTH is set.
0: Authenticates with Credit Key (Kc = Key 2) if AUTH is set.
P2: Parameter used for selecting the card types to be read
b7 - b4 b3 b2 b1 b0
0 Protocol 3 Protocol 2 Protocol 1 Protocol 0
INSIDE couplers manage the following protocols :
- Protocol 0 : ISO 14 443 type B & Inside anticollision (only for INSIDE chip)
- Protocol 1 : ISO 15 693 & Inside anticollision (only for INSIDE chip)
- Protocol 2 : ISO 14 443 type B-3
- Protocol 3 : User defined protocol - see «Other ISO chip management» chapter for more
information about Protocol 3 use.
If bit related to protocol x is set to one, coupler will run an anticollision using this protocol.
If several protocols are selected, coupler will test all of them, starting from protocol 0 to
protocol 3.
P3: Number of bytes to be return by the coupler
Set P3 = 09h for reading Pico Family Chips serial numbers.
Response: Card type (1 byte) and serial number (8 bytes)
Card type is the protocol number used by the card that has been selected for its answer.
For 15 693 INSIDE’s chips, card type value is 1 as protocol 1 is used for selection. This
value is the one to use to indicate protocol in the transmit command.
