Remarks

Valid modes are defined by the SmartCardInterfaceModes enumeration.

InterfaceMode indicates the current communication interface mode that the SCR/W device is using to communicate with the application. The CapInterfaceMode property contains the interface modes that are supported by the SCR/ W service object. If an InterfaceMode is selected that is not consistent with CapInterfaceMode, a POS for .NET exception is thrown. InterfaceMode can be one of the following values:

Value

Meaning

Transaction

Simple Transaction Command and Data Mode

Block

Block Data Mode

Apdu

Same as Block Data Mode except APDU Standard. Defines the Commands and data.

Xml

XML Block Data Mode

InterfaceMode is set and kept current by the service object while the device is enabled.

Thread Safety

Any public static (Shared in Visual Basic) members of this type are thread-safe. Any instance members are not guaranteed to be thread-safe.
