1. Introduction
The purpose of this document is to provide a set of guidelines to aid in the first operation of
the RD710 reader. The MIFAREdiscover (ver.3.x.x) will be used as a user interface to
communicate to the readers and cards, respectively.
The USB drivers are included in the CD package.
2. Installation
2.1 Required items
To use the MIFAREdiscover, the following items are required:
•MIFARE cards as MIFARE DESFire EV1, MIFARE Classic, MIFARE Ultralight
•Pegoda Reader (RD710 or RD710 as part of EV710) (see [32] – [36])
•MIFAREdiscover (see [37])
oPublic version available on NXP web (see [39])
oFull version (see [40])
2.2 Installing USB driver for the Reader
The demonstrated installation is shown on Windows 7, but it is the same in Windows XP and
Vista.
1)If you don’t have a CD that was delivered with your Pegoda, open your web browser, go to
see [38] and download and extract the zip file.
2)Connect the Pegoda RD710 with your computer.
3)Wait until Windows 7 installs a standard driver.
4)Open the Windows Device Manager and navigate to the installed Reader (see figure 1
below)

2.3 Deactivate Smart Card Interface
For some customers it may be useful to deactivate the Smart Card Interface. This is
especially important for users of Windows 7. If you see that Windows repeatedly tries to
install a new Smart Card Interface you need to do the following steps.
1. Go to the Control Panel of your computer (Start – Control Panel)
2. Click “System” – “Device Manager” and then “Other devices”
3. Click “Smart Card” with your right mouse button and then disable.

2.4 Installing MIFAREdiscover
There are two different versions of MIFAREdiscover; for once the full version can be retrieved
from the doc store and the public version, which can be downloaded from the NXP
Homepage.
The public MIFAREdiscover supports the functions for MIFARE Classic (see [1]) MIFARE
Ultralight (see [13]), General ISO 14443-A (see [8]) protocol handling.
The full MIFAREdiscover supports the functions for MIFARE SAM AV2 (see [18]-[31]) support
(X and conventional), MIFARE Plus (see [5]) MIFARE DESFire EV1 (see [4]), MIFARE
Classic, MIFARE Ultralight, MIFARE Ultralight C (see [6]) and General ISO14443-A protocol
handling.
2.4.1 System Requirements
•Microsoft Windows XP SP2 or higher
•Minimum screen resolution 1024x768 pixels
•Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5 Service Pack 1 or higher [will be installed along with this
installer]

2.4.2 Installation process
Install Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5 SP1 (or higher if available)
The Installer "SetupMIFAREdiscover" tries to install the Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5
Service Pack 1 by using a Net-Installer. If you have limited or no network connection to
download and install the Microsoft .NET Framework the setup process is terminated and
you have to install the Microsoft .NET Framework manually.
.NET Framework can be found online (see [41])
Install the "SetupMIFAREdiscover" package:
Install the package and follow the instructions. The whole installation process requires
administration rights. After you have successfully installed the program "MIFAREdiscover"
and all of its required components you can start "MIFAREdiscover" via the link
"Start -> All Programs -> NXP Semiconductors -> MIFAREdiscover -> MIFAREdiscover".
Read “ReleaseNotes.txt” file that you received with the MIFAREdiscover package.

3. Demo mode and DIP switch configuration of the Pegoda
3.1 DIP switch configurations for various Reader modes
Fig 8. Overview of important reader modi
You can find a photo with description on NXP web (see [35]) (table and figure 1)
3.2 Demo mode
To get into demo mode, configure the DIP switch as follows
8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1
OFF ON OFF OFF OFF OFF OFF OFF
and connect the USB cable. Only power is provided by the USB cable, the reader itself works
autonomously without interaction of the PC.
The demo mode is used to showcase some basic functionality of the reader. In this mode,
ISO14443-3A activation loop is performed and an acoustic signal is generated based on the
detected card and SAK-byte, respectively.
The following table depicts the default sound coding for different MIFARE cards:

4. Public Version
All in this section explained steps are applicable to the full version as well.
4.1 Starting MIFAREdiscover
Connect the RD710 Reader with the PC by using the USB cable. Choose the desired DIP
switch configuration on the mainboard of the reader (see chapter 3.1) as this tool does not
support SAM. The DIP switches should all be set to “OFF”.
Start MIFAREdiscover from the Start menu.
Fig 9. Press the "get available Reader´s" button
Press “Get available Reader’s” for the drop down field “contact- and contactless reader
selection”. The available readers will be listed depending on the DIP switch configuration and
the chosen reader.
Press “Ok” to open the mainframe of the MIFAREdiscover program for the specific reader
configuration.

The “command selection window” in the left upper sub window shows you the different
possibilities of the current selected reader device. For instance in MIFARE Reader tab is the
possibility of running ‘Show cards’ command, in which you can see UID of present cards in

4.1.1 Mainframe general overview
The public MIFAREdiscover supports the functions for MIFARE Classic
(see [1]), MIFARE Ultralight (see [13]), General ISO 14443-A (see [8]) protocol handling.
Therefore, the user interface is divided into functional blocks which are shown in different
tabs.
In every block the history field shows the operations (send data and receive data). This
history field can be cleared, or it can be stored in a text file. For an illustration see figure 15.
Note: The sequence of commands as described in ISO/IEC 14443 or in the relevant
datasheet must be kept to be able to activate and operate a card. The MIFAREdiscover does
not cross check the logical command flow.

6. Full Version
6.1 Starting MIFAREdiscover
Connect RD710 Reader to the PC with USB cable. Choose the desired DIP switch
configuration on the mainboard of the reader (see figure 8). This can be
•Reader in X-Mode for RD710 with MIFARE SAM inserted in the slot
•Reader in No SAM-Mode
•Reader in S-Mode
In the following descriptions we need to have the DIP switch of the Pegoda set to X-Mode.
Start MIFAREdiscover from the Start menu.
You will be asked to select your reader connected to MIFARE AV2 SAM as shown in Fig.14.
Fig 14. Select reader connected to SAM
Select the reader. Any time the profile can be closed or opened by using close and open
profile respectively.
After selection of the reader the key file can be browsed if it is necessary. In the key file, the
secret keys can be stored, which may be needed to authenticate MIFARE SAM AV2 with the
host or to be changed later. Press OK button to validate the profile. If the MIFARE SAM AV2
is connected properly, the status field of the history window shows “SUCCESS”.

7. Examples of some use cases for the full version
In every use case (defined below) we need to have the DIP switch of the Pegoda reader set
to X-Mode.
Overview
7.1. Checking the connected MIFARE SAM AV2
Here you will get some hardware and software related information about the
installed SAM.
7.2. Switch the MIFARE SAM from AV1 to AV2 Mode
AV2 mode is recommended because of security reasons.
7.3. Authenticate host
This step is needed when operating with the SAM.
7.4. Operating the MIFARE DESFire EV1
7.4.1.Using MIFARE SAM AV2 for communication with MIFARE DESFire EV1
This example shows how to perform a basic authentication between SAM and
MIFARE DESFire EV1.
7.4.2.Create Application and format MIFARE DESFire
7.4.3.Authenticate Application
7.5. Operating the MIFARE Plus S
7.5.1.Switch MIFARE Plus from Security Level 0 in Security Level 1
Security level 0 is the initial delivery configuration of the PICC. We have to pre-
personalize the card to get into security level 1.
7.5.2.Switch MIFARE Plus from Security Level 1 in Security Level 3
Because security level 1 is the compatibility mode to the MIFARE Classic card,
we want to use the enhanced security of security level 3.
7.5.3.Read/Write Actions of MIFARE Plus in Security Level 3
A short introduction of how to access blocks with read and write operation in
security level 3.

7.1 Checking the connected MIFARE SAM AV2
Ensure that the Pegoda reader is set to “X-Mode”.
Let’s check the connected MIFARE SAM AV2. It can be done using the GetVersion
command.
Fig 16. Get Version
The last byte of the “GetVersion” response will be “0xA1” for MIFARE SAM AV1 and will be
“0xA2” for MIFARE SAM AV2.
