1. General Software Information Operating Parameters Power Fail SmartPass readers maintain their operating parameters in battery powered RAM so that the parameters will be preserved after a power down sequence The system maintains a power fail flag The host transmits display power fail bit command 520 to determine if a power down has occurred This flag is cleared by both reset reader command 63 and reset power fail bit command 65 Program Download Program download stores the SmartPass applications software into SmartPass s flash memory Program download is used to install program upgrades add features and to recover from corrupted program data The download mode supports commands 90 91 96 97 and 99 Download Considerations You should consider the following items when performing program download e SmartPass does not process tags while in download mode e SmartPass accepts only download commands while in download mode It responds to all other commands with an error message e SmartPass will not accept any program data unless a successful erase of flash memory has been performed before transmitting the data Erasing the flash mem ory typically takes 7 seconds e Exiting from download mode will re execute startup If the new software has been loaded without errors SmartPass will come up in data mode If a flash checksum error is detected SmartPass will reenter download mode and transmit a sign on message wit

SmartPass for each host transmission Al1620 SmartPass System Guide When the host computer is physically close to SmartPass and no sources of interference exist the basic protocol provides reliable communications The host must be ready to receive reader transmitted messages because in basic protocol SmartPass does not wait for the host to acknowledge a message before transmitting the next message If necessary the host may halt reader transmissions by using software or hardware flow control Refer to Chapter 6 General Software Information for flow control information Error Correcting Protocol Wherever the quality of data communications is imperative or may be suspect ECP can be invoked to ensure the integrity of data transmitted between SmartPass and the host Note Amtech recommends that basic protocol not ECP be used when commands are entered manually at the keyboard Error correction is accomplished with use of a cyclic redundancy check CRC value that is based on the message data The originator reader or host calculates the CRC of a message and includes it in the transmitted message The recipient reader or host also calculates a CRC for the received message If the transmitted message data is correct the CRC calculated by the recipient will agree with the CRC calculated by the originator If the CRCs do not agree the message is rejected Message sequence numbers are also included when using the ECP These
