Operational Description

Operational Description - Models RC-S441C and RC-S445C - Version 1.0 Sony Corporation RC-S44XC Operational Description Reader/Writer Operation After turning on the power switch, the Reader/Writer transmits 13.56MHz 10% ASK polling signal with the specified intensity until receiving a response from a contactless card. After receiving the response from a card the device starts to communicate with the card by using the same frequency and modulation. Though the reader/writer is a self-operating device according to the program installed in the FLASH memory, it can be connected to a host computer (Controller) for more complicated applications by taking out the reader/writer from the enclosure. For the connection to a host computer, refer to the initialization and communication protocols described below. 1Connection with Controller •Interface Connector RC-S441C/6L: Methode 1100-12-110-01 (straight) RC-S445C/6L: Methode 1100-12-110-02 (right angle) The interface connector is a 10-pin connector located at the right edge of the RF/Control board. The pitch of connector pins is 2.54mm. The most upper connector pin is No. 1. Pin assignment of the connector is shown in Fig. 1 and Table 1.

Either ACK or NACK packet is returned in every packet transfer. ACK indicates a successful transfer, NACK means unsuccessful. Fig. 2 : Communication Protocol and Packet Structure 2.2Re-sending Protocol Reader/Writer supports the re-sending procedure in Controller interface. Re-sending handling is triggered or required in the two cases below : 1. NACK packet is returned. 2. Neither ACK nor NACK response comes. (time out) Controller should re-send the same packet within 5ms after receiving NACK or detecting time out. 2.3ACK / NACK Packet ACK / NACK packet format is as follows : ACK : LEN = 00h & LCS = ffh without Packet Data part and DCS NACK : LEN = ffh & LCS = 00h without Packet Data part and DCS 2.4Mutual Authentication Mutual Authentication is a process that is performed between Controller Reader/WriterController Max. 2ms Command Packet ACK ACK Max. 2ms Response Packet 00FF00 LEN LCS PD0PDnPD1DCS 00 ...

This authentication is based on the following elements : 1. two 8byte (64bit) keys 2. three pass authentication model (ISO 9758) 3. cryptography algorithm. 2.5Encryption and Decryption The cryptography algorithm is used for the following three stages : 1. mutual authentication between Controller and Reader/Writer 2. mutual authentication between Reader/Writer and Card 3. commands and data encryption through Reader/Writer 3Communication Commands 3.1General In this section, the communication commands between Controller and Reader /Writer are described. Table 2-4 shows all commands between Controller and general Reader/Writer. All commands are categorized into 3 groups as follows : 1. Reader/Writer internal operation command 2. Card operation command 3. Card management command Card management command group is for issue Reader/Writer and not for general Reader/Writer . 3.2Reader/Writer Internal Operation Command 3.2.1Attention Command Attention Command enables Reader/Writer and Controller to recognize each other and is the only command available before the authentication completes. The main purpose of this Attention Command is to recognize its partner before authentication and to force Reader/Writer to be in the idle state. 3.2.2Authentication 1 Command Authentication 1 Command enables Controller to authenticate Reader/Writer. 3.2.3Authentication 2 Command Authentication 2 Command enables Reader/Writer to authenticate Controller. 3.2.4Disconnect Command Disconnect Command is for Controller to terminate the communication with Reader/Writer. 3.2.5Change Reader/Writer Access Key Command Change Reader/Writer Access Key Command performs alteration of the access keys, which are stored in Reader/Writer for the mutual authentication between Controller and Reader/Writer.
