19-5124; Rev 1; 2/10 High-Frequency Developers Kit for ISO 14443B and ISO 15693 RFID Keys The MAX66901 evaluation kit (EV kit) includes RFID keys and reader hardware for evaluation of Maxim’s line of 13.56MHz RFID keys. The RFID keys can be used in access control, security, and eCash applications. Besides standard transactions using both ISO 14443B and ISO 15693 protocols, the EV kit demonstrates the speed, reliability, and security of SHA-1-based mutual authentication. The fully documented serial-port command set allows converting this kit into a full-access control or eCash system.

Evaluates: MAX660_0/MAX661_0 RFID Keys General Description Evaluates: MAX660_0/MAX661_0 RFID Keys High-Frequency Developers Kit for ISO 14443B and ISO 15693 RFID Keys Getting Started Note: In the following sections, software-related items are identified by bolding. Text in bold refers to items directly from the EV kit software. Text in bold and underlined refers to items from the Windows® operating system. The MAX66901 EV kit comes with a 35cm x 26cm x 12.5cm carrying case. Figure 1 shows the complete contents. Software Setup connect the serial-port cable to the PC. Make sure that the serial port is enabled. EV Kit Operation Connect the serial-port cable to the serial port (e.g., COM1) on your computer. Plug the AC adapter into a functioning wall outlet. Start the evaluation software: Start → Programs → Sirit Maxim SHA-1 Demo → Sirit Maxim SHA-1 Demo. This displays a greeting as in Figure 2, which after a few seconds is replaced by the evaluation software’s GUI. Insert the MAX66901 EV kit CD in the disk drive, open the folder MAX66xx0K_Evaluation_Software, and double-click the setup.exe file. Follow the instructions on the screen. When finished, press OK to exit the installation. By default, the software installs itself in the folder C:\Program Files\Smart Label Communicators. The installer does not create a shortcut on the desktop. The software must be installed from the CD. If communication with the reader is established, the reader type, firmware revision, port number, and data rate are displayed at the top of the window (Figure 3). If communication with the reader was not established (or was lost) for any reason, the text “Searching for a reader” appears instead. In the latter case, verify the setup of the COM port and the connections to the serial port and wall outlet, and power-cycle the reader. Hardware Setup Now refer to the MAX66xx0K_Evaluation_Guide in the Documentation folder on the CD and the sections that apply to the RFID keys to be evaluated. To communicate with an RFID key, the key must be placed on the location marked “Place Key Fob Here.” Remove the assembly of reader, power supply, and serial-port cable from the case. Take the power-supply unit, remove the black insert from the wall adapter, and install the power plug that works in your location. Do not yet plug the AC adapter into a power outlet. Do not yet Figure 1.

Evaluation Software Greeting Before new firmware can be installed in the reader, it is necessary to install the Lotis Downloader on the PC. To install the downloader, navigate to the Lotis_Downloader folder in the Firmware_Utilities folder. Then doubleclick the setup.exe file and follow the instructions on the screen. For more guidance, refer to Section 3: Smart Label Communicator Software Installation in the INfinity_110_Eval_Kit_Users_Guide. After the downloader is successfully installed, follow the Downloading Firmware instructions in Section 6: Configuration and Maintenance in the INfinity_110_Eval_Kit_Users_ Guide. Figure 3. Reader Responds to the Evaluation Software Development Resources The primary document for development purposes is the INfinity_110_Prot_Ref_Gd_MAX66xx0K. This document references a supplemental document, the INfinity_110_ Prot_Ref_Gd. Both documents are found in the Documentation folder on the CD. Sirit INfinity Reader Configuration The Sirit INfinity 110 reader operates on firmware that executes the commands described in the INfinity_110_Prot_ Ref_Gd_MAX66xx0K. The MAX66xx0K_Evaluation_ Guide and INfinity_110_Prot_Ref_Gd_MAX66xx0K specify the firmware revision they require. To work with evaluation software that was created after the EV kit was purchased, it could be necessary to upgrade the firmware in the reader. Troubleshooting For information on how to resolve typical problems, refer to Section 7: Troubleshooting in the INfinity_110_Eval_ Kit_Users_Guide. For more information on Sirit INfinity 110, go to www.sirit.com. Additional Documentation For more information, refer to the following IC data sheets: • MAX66000 • MAX66020 • MAX66040 • MAX66100 • MAX66120 • MAX66140 _______________________________________________________________________________________ 3 Evaluates: MAX660_0/MAX661_0 RFID Keys A copy of the latest firmware from the time when the EV kit was assembled is found on the CD in folder Firmware_ Utilities. Look for a file name similar to lotis‑D523.fmw. The code “D523” in this example identifies the firmware revision. Newer firmware has a higher number and a newer date stamp.
