Section 1. Overview

1.It can prompt the user to repeat the action and re-submit the command. This is typical if the status does not indicate a failure, per se, but that the device may not be ready yet or first needs some other interaction by the user.

2.It can reset the device and prompt the user to repeat the action. Typically, this action is necessary if the device’s state or configuration has been corrupted, but is otherwise functioning correctly.

3.Finally, the application can refuse to continue operation of the device. An application should do this only if the returned status indicates that the device is malfunctioning.

HANDLING SPECIAL COMMANDS

Some devices such as the IntelliPIN PLUS support a set of commands that are not standard and/or do not follow the usual protocol. The Generic Driver can be used to support these commands. It does not know how to communicate with any device and does not support any protocol. The Generic Driver allows the application to send any string to a device. When the Generic Driver is used, the application must form the command, insert packet characters, and compute a check character where required.

In particular, the IntelliPIN PLUS supports a set of commands that require <SI> and <SO> as command brackets instead of the usual <stx> and <etx> characters. These special commands cannot be used with the IntelliPIN PLUS drivers. If the <SI>/<SO> commands are required in an application, the Generic Driver can be used to formulate the commands and recognize the responses.

For example, in order to select one of the Multi-Master keys in the IntelliPIN PLUS, the format of the command is:

<SI>08[address]<SO>{LRC}

The IntelliPIN PLUS driver cannot generate this command since all commands supported by the driver begin with <stx> and end with <etx>. To solve the problem, open the Generic Driver and send the following command to select master key number 3:

/rawsend \x0F083\x0E\x35

where <SI> is 0x0F and <SO> is 0x0E.

The Generic Driver can be used whenever a deviation from the standard protocol is required or when no protocol exists at all. However, the Generic Driver does not support any properties like all of the other drivers. It is only available to support those cases that cannot be handled with the standard drivers.

FILE PROPERTIES

When updating the MagTek Device Drivers, discussing performance characteristics, or reporting errors, it will be important to identify the part number and version of the associated file(s). In order to determine which version is installed, use Windows Explorer and go to the \Windows\System directory. Right click on the associated “VXD” driver file (see Appendix A.
