Privileged Commands
Some commands are, for security purposes, privileged. These commands are:
1. Set Property
2. Reset Device*
3. Set Key Map Item
4. Save Custom Key Map
5. Set Security Level†
* The Reset Device command is usually not Privileged. The exception is during a sequence
to Activate the Authenticated Mode. During this sequence the Reset Device command is
Privileged to avoid a hacker using this sequence to exhaust DUKPT keys rendering the
reader unusable.
† The Set Security Level command is Privileged when it is being used to set the Security
Level. It is not Privileged when it is being used to Get the Security Level.
When the Security Level is set to higher than 2 (see the Security section), the previleged
commands must be MACed in order to be accepted. If a MAC is required but not present or
incorrect, RC = 07 will be returned.
