    Model 152 Smart Card Reader/Writer Operation Instructions Chapter 5: TLP-224 Protocol Transport layer The transport layer is symmetrical, that is, a transport unit looks the same going either from the host to reader or from reader to host. The relationship between host and reader is fixed, with the host initiating all exchanges and the reader responding only when prompted by the host.
  • Page 20 Model 152 Smart Card Reader/Writer Operation Instructions The Data portion of a message for a command is structured differently from the Data portion of a message for a response.
