How to disable Windows Smart Card PnPS To disable Windows Smart Card PnP Service, please follow these steps: 1. Click on “Start“, type gpedit msc in the “search programs and files” box. Confirm with ENTER. 2. In the Local Group Policy Editor Navigation pane, select “Computer Configuration“, and then “Administrative Templates.” 3. In the details pane, double-click “Windows Components”, and then double-click “Smart Card.” 4.
2.4 Specific Application Antenna Handling Usually, the DESKO RFID Reader Module searches automatically for smart card technologies at the antennas. Nevertheless, in some cases it may be necessary to disable/enable the antennas or to search with only one antenna at a time. The following example shows, how enabling or disabling of the antenna can be used to optimize the read result: Functional Description DESKO RFID Reader Module Doc # 7 001 24 01 Page 14 of 19 Doc.-Rev.
3 Hardware Integration Rules 3.1 Hardware Integration in Metal Environment When integrating a DESKO Smart Card Reader, please make sure that there are no metal objects close to the device. Any metal object near the DESKO Smart Card Reader detunes the RFID antennas and therefore reduces the RFID reading performance. Should you want to integrate a DESKO Smart Card Reader in a metal environment, please contact your DESKO contact person or our DESKO support team via e-mail under support@desko.
Shows compile date. Example: “Response: 4A756E202036203230313600” = Jun 6 2016 Get compile time Send: FF680011010001 Response: NULL terminated ASCII string Shows compile time. Example: “Response: 31303A30333A353000” = 10:03:50 Get Protocol Version Send: FF680012010001 Response: NULL terminated ASCII string Example: Shows latest protocol version.

4.2 Settings APDUs The following APDUs are only temporarily stored. After rebooting the device, you get the values of the default setting again. Settings APDUs Description Send: FF680009010001 Get Antenna Selection Response: 1 Byte Determines which antennas are used to search for smart Example: card technologies.
“Response: 02” Values: = 00 → 106 kBit 424kBit 01 → 212 kBit Send: FF68000A010201 02 → 424 kBit Set Maximum TX Bitrate ² Response: none Sets maximum TX Bitrate. Example: Values: “02” = 424kBit Send: FF68000D010001 00 → 106 kBit 01 → 212 kBit 02 → 424 kBit Get Maximum RX Bitrate Response: 1 Byte Returns currently set maximum RX Bitrate.
03 → ISO 14443A + ISO 14443B Send: FF68000F02000101 Set Supported Technologies Response: 00 Returns which smart card technologies shall be searched for. Example: This value is coded bit by bit. “0001” = ISO14443A only Values: 00 → none 01 → ISO14443A 02 → ISO14443B Functional Description DESKO RFID Reader Module Doc # 7 001 24 01 Page 19 of 19 Doc.-Rev.
