NFC interface
ExRPB implements NFC Forum Type 2 Tag functionality as specified in the ISO/IEC 14443
Part 2 and 3 standards using an NXP NT3H2111 Mifare Ultralight tag.
This NFC functionality can be used to access (read and write) the ExRPB configuration
memory and thereby configure the device as described in the following chapters.
Chapter 6.1 below gives an introduction to the NFC functionality and options to use the NFC
interface.
For in-depth support for integrating the NXP NT3H2111 NFC functionality into PC or
smartphone SW please contact NXP technical support.
6.1
Using the NFC interface
Using the NFC interface requires the following:
NFC reader (either PC USB accessory or suitable smartphone / tablet)
NFC SW with read, write, PIN lock, PIN unlock and PIN change functionality
EnOcean recommends TWN4 from Elatec RFID Systems (
https://www.elatec-rfid.com/en/
as USB NFC reader. This reader is shown in Figure 21 below.

TWN4 can be configured as CDC / Virtual COM port and can then be accessed like any serial
interface. It provides all necessary commands for the NFC interface, specifically to:
Read data from configuration memory and write data to configuration memory
Authenticate the user (to allow read / write of protected memory) via 32 bit PIN
NFC functionality is also available in certain Android smartphones and tablets. NXP provides
a SW framework that can be used with Android devices and can advise regarding suitable
tablets and smartphones.
NFC communication distance is for security reasons set to require direct contact between
reader and switches based on ExRPB.
