1INTRODUCTION
The SmartWave Box, a hardware device, is the perfect solution for testing contactless cards. It
can read and simulate contactless smart cards; and also can analyze or spy the communication
between a contactless card and terminal.
With its various modes of operation, the SmartWave Box is the most versatile tool available
today for contactless testing.
1.1 Scope of document
This the user manual describes how to setup and use the SmartWave Box.
1.2 Intended audience
This document is intended for the user of the SmartWave Box. Audiences are assumed to have
a fair understanding of the standards related to smart cards and CL cards and related tests.
1.3 Terminology
To avoid confusion the term ‘internal terminal’ is used to refer to the internal active antenna of
the terminal side of the SmartWave Box, the internal terminal communicates with the Card-
under-test (CUT). The external passive antenna is referred as the ‘(CL) probe’ and
communicates with the Terminal-under-test (TUT).

5FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
5.1 Housing
The SmartWave Box has about the same size as the SmartLink Box. The antenna of the internal
terminal is placed underneath the top cover and its position is clearly marked. On the back of
the SmartWave Box a power connector, a USB connector and the CL probe connector are
placed. On the front of the box are LEDs which shows CL card, terminal status and
communication. The front also carries test connectors to view information on an oscilloscope.
Fig. 1 The SmartWave Box
5.2 LEDs
The SmartWave Box has the following LEDs:
Power Red LED
Intern Tx/Rx Tri-color LED, green = Data Rx, red = Data Tx
Probe Tx/Rx Tri-color LED, green = Data Rx, red = Data Tx
Internal terminal RF Tri-color LED, green = RF only, amber = RF and modulation
CL probe RF Tri-color LED, green = RF only, amber = RF and modulation
The communication signaling of the tri-color LEDs is stretched, i.e. short frames are show as
being longer.
5.3 Connectors
The SmartWave Box is fitted with the following coaxial connectors for connection with an
oscilloscope:
Internal terminal RF Buffered antenna RF signal of the internal terminal
Internal raw data (Rx) Raw Rx data
Internal Tx data Transmit data
External terminal RF Buffered antenna RF signal of the internal terminal
External raw data (Rx) Raw Rx data
