Page 4: Introduction
1.6 November 2005 1. Introduction The AET63 BioTRUSTKey is an interface for the communication between a computer (for example, a PC), a smart card and TFM (Trusted Fingerprint Module). Different types of smart cards have different commands and different communication protocols. This prevents, in most cases, the direct communication between a smart card and a computer. -
Page 5: Supported Card Types
AET63 Reference Manual version 1.6 November 2005 3. Supported Card Types The AET63 can operate MCU card with T=0 and T=1 protocol. The table presented in Appendix A explains which card type selection value must be specified for the various card types supported by the reader. 3.1 Microcontroller-based smart cards (asynchronous interface) The AET63 supports EEPROM microcontroller-based cards with internal programming voltage (VPP) generation and the following programming parameters transmitted in the ATR:... -
Page 6: Smart Card Interface
AET63 Reference Manual version 1.6 November 2005 4. Smart Card Interface The interface between the AET63 and the inserted smart card follows the specifications of ISO7816-3 with certain restrictions or enhancements to increase the practical functionality of the AET63. 4.1 Smart Card Power Supply VCC (C1) The current consumption of the inserted card must not be higher than 50mA. -
Page 7: Power Supply
AET63 Reference Manual version 1.6 November 2005 5. Power Supply The AET63 requires a voltage of 5V DC, 100mA, regulated, power supply. The AET63 gets the power supply from PC (through the cable supplied along with each type of reader). Status LEDs Green LED on the front of the reader indicate the activation status of the smart card interface: Green LED - Indicates power supply to the smart card is switched on, i.e., the smart card is activated. -

Reference voltage level for power supply NOTE - In order for the AET63 to function properly through USB interface, either ACS proprietary device drive or ACS PC/SC device driver has to be installed. Please refer to the Device Driver Installation Guide for more detail. -
Page 9: Communication Protocol
AET63 Reference Manual version 1.6 November 2005 7. Communication Protocol In the normal operation, the AET63 acts as a slave device with regard to the communication between a computer and the reader. The communication is carried out in the form of successive command-response exchanges. -

Page 13: Card Status Message
AET63 Reference Manual version 1.6 November 2005 If the AET63 responds with a 'NOT ACKNOWLEDGE' message to a command from the computer, the computer would normally transmit the command again. If the computer detects a transmission error in a response from the AET63, it can send the 'NOT ACKNOWLEDGE' to the reader upon which the reader will transmit the most recent response again. - Page 14 AET63 Reference Manual version 1.6 November 2005 Within the command and response transmission only ASCII characters representing the hexadecimal (hex) digits 0...F are used. Each byte of a command or response is split into its upper and lower halfbyte (nibble). For each halfbyte is transmitted the ASCII character representing the respective hex digit value.

Page 15: Commands
AET63 Reference Manual version 1.6 November 2005 8. COMMANDS The commands executed by the AET63 can generally be divided into two categories, namely, Control Commands and Card Commands. Control Commands manage the internal operation of the AET63. They do not directly affect the card inserted in the reader and are therefore independent of the selected card type. -
