Knowledge Base - Card Admin: Deep scan and content reports

This article applies to the following products

When you generate a Content Report without changing Access Rights on the card, you will not be able to read the content of all files. If you have the Admin codes of the card AND if the ARR file is possible to update, then you can change the access rights and read all content of the card, including Authentication keys (if these are present in EF's which is not always the case...).

Verify PIN and Admin codes

On Gemalto test cards, Card Admin often knows what Admin code the card has. On other cards you'll need to know the APDU sequence to verify the Admin code and use the "Exchange APDU" tool in Card Admin.

Open file 6F06 ARR

Check every "Read/Delete Child" record in every tab and change to ALWAYS

If the "Read/Delete Child" is set to NEVER, click on it and enter "ALWAYS" in the field below, and click "Check and Modify". Repeat for all tabs where the Read record is set to "NEVER".

Update the ARR file

When you are done, click the "Update" button

Generate Content Report

Right click the card and select "Generate Content Report..."

Enter correct settings and generate Report

Follow the sequence above, select a report name, select Deep Scan (on non-Gemalto cards) and "Default mapping" scan on Gemalto cards, enable file content reading and generate the report.

Card Admin

Gemalto Telecom Card Admin tool is a tool to edit SIM & UICC cards. Card Admin provides all the necessary fundamentals to FULLY (Proprietary files, Proprietary commands etc.) administrate any 2G, 3G, LTE and CDMA card (Gemalto & Competition).

Module

The unit formed of a chip and a contact plate.

Edge

A pre-3G digital mobile phone technology allowing improved data transmission rates.

Java

A network oriented programming language invented by Sun Microsystems and specificallt designed so that programs can be safely downloaded to remote devices.

PDA

Personal Digital Assistant. A mobile device that functions as a personal information manager, often with the ability to connect to the internet.

Personal Identification Number. A secret code required to confirm a user's identity.

RAT

Radio Access Technology. The RAT is the type of radio technology used in a Radio Access Network (RAN) to access the Core Network (CN), e.g. UMTS, GSM, CDMA2000, WiMAX.

DM

Device Management: Management of mobile phone configuration, updates and other managed objects of mobile devices over the entire life-cycle as defined by OMA DM. DM is also used generically to describe all methods and activities associated with mobile device management.

IM

Using text on a mobile handset to communicate in real time

IP

Internet Protocol. A protocol for communicating data accross a network

OS

Operating System. Software that runs on computers and other smart devices and that manages the way they function.

SE

Secure Element. A secure and personalised physical component added to a system to manage users rights and to host secure apps. SE typically consist of a Silicon Chip, a secure Operating System, application software and a secure protocol to communicate to the device. SE can be a removable device (such as UICC or ÂµSD for mobile devices or MIM for M2M connected machines). SE can also be components inside the system.

BS

Base Station. The entity in a radio access network responsible for radio trans- mission and reception in one or more cells to and from the UE. In LTE the BS is known as the eNodeB.

HE

Home Environment. The HE of a subscriber is responsible for the overall pro- vision and control of the personal service environment to the subscriber.Â

HO

HandOver. HO is a procedure by which a mobile terminal changes serving cells (within the same frequency or on different frequencies or even on different Radio Access Technologies (RAT)). See 3GPP TS36.133.

PS

Packet Switched. In PS communication each data packet is labelled with the destination address and routed over a shared transmission resource. In contrast with Circuit Switching (CS) where dedicated transmission resources are re- served between network nodes to deliver a reliable transmission rate and delay, in a PS connection the transmission rate and delay may vary depending on the traffic load and the medium capacity, with packets being buffered if necessary.

UE

User Equipment. The mobile unit which allows a user to access network services, connecting to the UTRAN or E-UTRAN via the radio interface. A UE can be subdivided into a Universal Integrated Circuit Card (UICC) and a Mo- bile Equipment (ME). See 3GPP TS21.905 Section 3.
