3.6.1. General
SCL3711 is a transparent reader designed to interface a personal computer host supporting
PC/SC interface with 13.56MHz user tokens like public transport cards, contactless banking
cards, NFC forum tags, electronic identification documents – e.g. e-passports, e-ID cards,
driving licenses etc.
Those user tokens can have several form factors like credit cards, key fobs, NFC mobile
phones or USB dongles like SCT3511 that SCM Microsystems markets.

SCL3711 itself handles the communication protocol but not the application related to the token.
The application-specific logic has to be implemented by software developers on the host.
3.6.2. Applications provided by SCM Microsystems
SCM Microsystems does not provide payment or transport applications.
SCM Microsystems provides a few applications for development and evaluation purposes that
can function with SCL3711. They are available within the software development kit. There are
many tools provided but the two main ones are:
•
The NFC forum tag reader/writer is a standalone application that enables the user to
read and write NFC forum compliant records into NFC forum compatible tags. It is an
easy to use tool to configure rapidly NFC forum tag demonstrations.
•
Smart card commander version 1.1 provides a module which for NFC forum tags that
parses and presents in XML format the content of the tag. Smart card commander
also contains powerful scripting functionality which can be very useful for developers
to develop and debug their applications.
