Page 4: Introduction
NOTE - Although the ACR30 is a true card reader/writer as it can read and write smart cards, the terms card reader or reader will be used indifferently to refer to the ACR30, for the sake of readability and because these designations are commonly in use for this kind of devices. -

0) and that particular mode is not supported by the ACR30, the reader will reset the card to set it to negotiable mode. If the card cannot be set to negotiable mode, the reader will reject the card. -

C2). 4.3 Card Type Selection The controlling PC has to always select the card type through the proper command sent to the ACR30 prior to activating the inserted card. This includes both the memory cards and MCU-based cards. For MCU-based cards the reader allows to select the preferred protocol, T=0 or T=1. However, this selection is only accepted and carried out by the reader through the PPS when the card inserted in the reader supports both protocol types. -
Page 7: Power Supply
ACR30 Reference Manual version 3.2 November 2005 NOTE - The ACR30 does never by itself switch on the power supply to the inserted card. This must explicitly be done by the controlling computer through the proper command sent to the reader. -
Page 8: Serial Interface
Stop Bits Handshake through CTS The ACR30 provides two means to select the transmission speed (baud rate) used by the reader in the normal operation, by hardware and/or by software. 6.1.1 Hardware Baud Rate The default hardware baud rate setting is 9600 bps. - Page 9 PC send a command to the ACR30. NOTE - Communication problems between the ACR30 and a PC can occur if a 25 pin to 9 pin RS-232 adapter or a cable is used in which not all 9 signal lines are connected. Adapters supplied with computer mouse frequently have not all lines connected. For the...

Reference voltage level for power supply NOTE - In order for the ACR30 functioning 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 11: Communication Protocol
3.2 November 2005 8. Communication protocol In the normal operation, the ACR30 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 12: Extended Command
8.2 Response The response from the ACR30 to any command depends if the command where received by the reader without error (e.g., checksum error). 8.2.1 No transmission error with normal response (Length < 255 bytes) -
Page 13: No Transmission Error With Extended Response
, respectively: byte 8.2.2 No transmission error with extended response The response by the ACR30 to a correctly received command consists of three protocol bytes, two status bytes and a variable number of data bytes and has the following structure: byte 7 ... -
Page 14: Transmission Error
8.2.3 Transmission error If the receiving party of a command (i.e., the ACR30) or a response (i.e., the computer) detects an error in the data length or the checksum of a command, it disregards the received data and sends a "NOT ACKNOWLEDGE"... -

Page 16: Commands
The commands executed by the ACR30 can generally be divided into two categories, namely, Control Commands and Card Commands. Control Commands control the internal operation of the ACR30. They do not directly affect the card inserted in the reader and are therefore independent of the selected card type. -
Page 17: Set_Protocol
The maximum number of data bytes that can be requested to be transmitted in a response. C_TYPE The card types supported by the ACR30. This data field is a bitmap with each bit representing a particular card type. A bit set to '1' means the corresponding card type is supported by the reader and can be selected with the SELECT_CARD_TYPE command. -
Page 18: Select_Card_Type
ACR30 has sent out the response string to the SET_PROTOCOL command. 9.1.3 SELECT_CARD_TYPE This command sets the required card type. The firmware in the ACR30 adjusts the communication protocol between reader and the inserted card according to the selected card type. -
Page 19: Reset
ACR30 Reference Manual version 3.2 November 2005 9.1.4 RESET This section describes the RESET command only for the case when no card type is selected or when the card type 00 is selected. For all other cases, please refer to the specific section described for each individual card type. -
Page 20: Card Commands
9.2 Card Commands The available commands and the parameters specified in the card commands as well as the data transmitted in the response from the ACR30 depend on the selected card type. 9.2.1 '104' - type non-reloadable Token Counter Cards (*) 9.2.1.1 RESET (*) -

Answer-To-Reset as transmitted by the card according to ISO7816-3. NOTE - The ATR is only returned in the ACR30 response if the communication protocol of the card is compatible with the reader, i.e., if the card can be processed by the ACR30. Otherwise, the ACR30 returns an error status and deactivates the smart card interface. -

Hence, only either Lc or Le can be greater than 0 in an EXCHANGE_APDU command when a T=0 card is in the reader. If both parameters have a value greater than 0, the ACR30 does not execute the command and returns an error status. -
