x HW_ERROR
x XFR_PARITY_ERROR
x ICC_PROTOCOL_NOT_SUPPORTED
x BAD_ATR_TS
x BAD_ATR_TCK

x Command not supported
CLOUD2700RREFERENCE MANUAL22
The following sub-sections discuss when and why these error codes are returned:
5.6.1.3.1. HW_ERROR
This error code is returned when a hardware short circuit condition is detected, during
application of power to the card or if any other internal hardware error is detected.
5.6.1.3.2. XFR_PARITY_ERROR
This error code is returned when a parity error condition is detected. This error will be reported
in the response to a PC_to_RDR_XfrBlock message.
5.6.1.3.3. ICC_PROTOCOL_NOT_SUPPORTED
This error code is returned if the card is signaling to use a protocol other than T=0 or T=1 in its
ATR.
5.6.1.3.4. BAD_ATR_TS
This error code is returned if the initial character of the ATR contains invalid data.
5.6.1.3.5. BAD_ATR_TCK
This error code is returned if the check character of the ATR contains is invalid.
5.6.1.3.6. ICC_MUTE
This error code is returned when the card does not respond until the reader time out occurs.
This error will be reported in the response to PC_to_RDR_XfrBlock message and
PC_to_RDR_IccPowerOn messages.
5.6.1.3.7. CMD_ABORTED
This error code is returned if the command issued has been aborted by the control pipe.
5.6.1.3.8. Command not supported
This error would be returned, if the command would not be supported by the reader.

6. Commands description
6.1. Escape commands for the CLOUD 2700 R
6.1.1. Sending Escape commands to CLOUD 2700 R
A developer can use the following method to send Escape commands to CLOUD 2700 R
xSCardControl method defined in PC/SC API
In Windows, in order to be able to send Escape commands to the CLOUD 2700 R, the feature
has got to be enabled by setting a REG_DWORD value named ‘EscapeCommandEnable’ in
the registry to a value of ‘1’.
For Windows XP and Windows Vista, the key to hold the value would be
Device-Instance-xxxx has got to be equal to the serial number of the reader used, so this
modification has got to be made for every physical reader intended to be used on the machine
in question. The reader has got to be plugged in at least once for the mentioned key to exist
and the driver has got to be restarted for this setting to take effect. (Unplug and re-plug the
reader).
To be able to work with synchronous memory cards using our MCard API, the same setting will
have to be established.
See appendix B for some sample code sending Escape commands to the reader.

6.1.2. Escape command codes
Escape commands can be used by an application to configure CLOUD 2700 R to function in a
mode that is not its default configured mode or to get specific information. To put the CLOUD
2700 R back into its default mode, it either has to be unplugged and plugged again or the
application can send the same Escape command again.

6.1.2.1. READER_SETMODE
This Escape command sets the current mode of the reader. Applications may call this function,
to set the desired mode. Typically, this call is used to switch between the ISO/IEC 7816, EMV
and memory card operations. Upon power on, the reader will reset to the default ISO/IEC 7816
mode.
Input:
The first byte of the input buffer contains the Escape code value and the second one will
contain the value for the desired mode of operation. The output buffer field will be NULL.
Following table gives the value of modes as interpreted by the firmware:
ISO mode uses APDU mode of data transfer and is used for normal operations. This is the
default mode of the reader on power up.
EMV mode also uses APDU mode of data transfer and is used for EMV test purposes. This
mode has more stringent checks for smart card detection and communication as per EMV4.2
spec.
Synchronous mode is used for communicating only with memory cards.
Any other value sent as mode is invalid.

This Escape command is used by the application/driver to get/set the following parameters:
x Smart card Power-on sequence
x Delay between successive Activation retries
x Enable/Disable any Voltage Class
As soon as card insertion is detected and power on message is received from the host, the
firmware will start activation with the configured voltage sequence. If the activation fails, it will
wait for the configured activation delay and then retry with the next enabled voltage class. If
power up succeeds at an operating voltage, the firmware will continue card communication at
that voltage. If power up fails in all the enabled operating voltages, then the firmware will report
an error. The default power-up sequence would be A – B – C.
Input:
The first byte of the input buffer contains the Escape code. The next byte contains the function
to be performed. Third byte contains the parameter for the function.

6.1.2.13. CONTACT_GET_SET_CLK_FREQUENCY
In case when an application wants to get or set the smart card clock frequency, this Escape
command is used to instruct the reader to change the clock or to get the current Clock divisor
used. Once set, the change in frequency will take effect immediately. Default divisor value is
10, that is 4.8MHz.
Input:
The first byte of the input buffer will contain the Escape code; the next byte will contain the
clock divisor value to set clock frequency or 0xFF to get clock frequency.

This Escape command is used to get/set the Character/Block Waiting Time for smart cards.
The wait time is specified in terms of ETU. Once set, the new Wait time will take effect from the
next card communication.
Input:
The input buffer contains the Escape code followed by an 8 bit GET/SET identifier, an 8 bit
Wait time identifier and a 32 bit Wait time value. BWT must be specified in units of 1.25ms and
CWT in units of ETU.
Output:
For both Get/Set Wait time, the output will be the following.

6.1.2.18. CONTACT_CONTROL_ATR_VALIDATION
This Escape command is used to enable or disable the ATR validation by the firmware in
ISO/IEC 7816 mode.
In case the card would emit an ATR that is not ISO/IEC 7816 compliant, the card reader may
fail to power up the card. In these cases, disabling ATR validation will let you work with the card
regardless of ISO conformity of the ATR.
By default, ATR validation is enabled.
Input:
The first byte of the input buffer will contain the Escape code; the next byte will contain the
control byte.
