COMMANDS

Most host applications do not need to send commands to the device. Most host applications only need to obtain card data from the device as described previously in this section. This section of the manual can be ignored by anyone who does not need to send commands to the device.

Command requests and responses are sent to and received from the device using feature reports. Command requests are sent to the device using the HID class specific request Set_Report. The response to a command is retrieved from the device using the HID class specific request Get_Report. These requests are sent over the default control pipe. When a command request is sent, the device will Nak the Status stage of the Set_Report request until the command is completed. This insures that as soon as the Set_Report request is completed, the Get_Report request can be sent to get the command response. The usage ID for the command message was shown previously in the Usage Table.

The following table shows how the feature report is structured for command requests:

COMMAND NUMBER

This one byte field contains the value of the requested command number. The following table lists all the existing commands.

Value	Command Number	Description
0	GET_PROPERTY	Sets a property in the device
1	SET_PROPERTY	Gets a property from the device

DATA LENGTH

This one byte field contains the length of the valid data contained in the Data field.

DATA

This multi-byte field contains command data if any. Note that the length of this field is fixed at 22 bytes. Valid data should be placed in the field starting at offset 2. Any remaining data after the valid data should be set to zero. This entire field must always be set even if there is no valid data. The HID specification requires that Reports be fixed in length. Command data may vary in length. Therefore, the Report should be filled with zeros after the valid data.
