Hardware Prerequisites The following section shows the hardware required for the installation.  Serial or USB host system where the NSM module will connect to.  NFC module and 30 way host FFC cable  Antenna and two U.FL coax cables – If two antennas are used then there will be two set of antenna boards and four coax cables NOTE: The Antenna and the U.FL coax cables can be supplied by Access IS or the user can design the antenna using the support provided by Access IS. U.FL cables are widely available from electronics stores like RS/Farnell. NFC Smartcard Module Hardware Installation Manual 8 CONFIDENTIAL DOCUMENT v0.2.3 5.2. Hardware Installation Steps The following details the installation steps with diagrams. 1, Turn OFF power for the host system before starting the installation 2, Connect the host system to the NFC module using the 30 way FCC cable as shown below. Please refer to Host connector section for the connector location and its pinouts. NFC module Host system NFC Smartcard Module Hardware Installation Manual 9 CONFIDENTIAL DOCUMENT v0.2.3 3, Connect the antenna to the NFC module using the coax cables. Antenna #0 Antenna #1 NSM Module 4, After the connections are done, select/verify the correct host interface selection on HOST_IFSEL_IO pins. Please refer to Host Interface Selection for HOST_IFSEL_IO pin settings. 5, If the product using the NSM module has a host cable, then a ferrite is required to be attached to the host cable. Please refer Cable Ferrite Specification for the characteristics of the required ferrite and the location of the ferrite on the host cable. NOTE : If single antenna operation is enabled, then firmware uses only Ant #1 – Port J8 and J9. Ant #0, port J2 and J3 are disabled. NOTE : Antenna coax cables are polarised. Connect the corresponding connectors with +ve markings and ground (triangle) markings on the antenna and NSM module NOTE : The cable ferrite is required to meet the FCC emissions requirement. The user should ensure that the cable ferrite is fitted in accordance to the specifications outlined in this manual. Failure to do so might void the FCC certification. NFC Smartcard Module Hardware Installation Manual 10 CONFIDENTIAL DOCUMENT v0.2.3 6, Power up the host system or connect the host adapter to the USB/Serial port. Now, the NFC module and the smart card module should start working. If the host interface is USB, then NSM module shall start enumerating as a HID device and a smartcard reader as shown below. 7, Application software can now communicate to NSM module through USB interface or through serial communication (See Serial Communication Settings). 5.3. Software Setup Depending on the host interface selected, please refer USB or Serial software reference manual. NFC Smartcard Module Hardware Installation Manual 11 CONFIDENTIAL …
