Yes, it offers file system administration, card content comparison, SIM Toolkit & Java Card Applet Administration, Authentication, Check standard compliance, Phonebook Interpreter and etc. For more detail please visit our Gemalto official tool web site www.gemalto.com/products/card_admin/
Handset manufacturers focus on the card content management but with the emergence of Java and the increasing demand for STK they will be interested by the simulation aspects. In addition, as they currently developing 3G handset they are highly interested by a 3G-card administration tool.
The telecom operators can be distinguished into 3 sub-segments:
- The SIM engineer people
- The mobile testing people
- The OTA platform people
They are mainly interested by the actual Card Admin. Nevertheless, as they are more and more managing several technologies they need a 2G / 3G universal tool. The most advanced also need a CDMA tool but it’s far from being the majority. Their simulation need is rare, small and basic. Mobile testing People: Mainly interest in Mobile Simulator
They also have to modify the content of the card so they also need the Card Admin. To finish with, when deploying an application they sometimes have to understand why the application is not running and they have a small, but existing, need of network simulation. The OTA platform people: Mainly interest in entire simulation chain
Indeed when deploying an OTA service it is very difficult for them to locate the problem. A simulated environment on a PC could immediately help to check whether the problem is coming from the card or not and then, using the tool traces, check what is going wrong on the OTA chain.
CDMA Option A product from the Card Admin range which addresses the card administration needs of a CDMA card. Its main features include: Interpreted and binary file representation, support for the CDMA card command set and a generic APDU exchange feature, a trace scripting tool to record and display actions and results , display of all applications installed on the card, including C-CAT (CDMA Card Application Toolkit applications and GSM SIM Toolkit applications.
NO, Card Admin supports all the latest evolutions in Gemalto and Java Card based smart card technology.
Card Admin offers a range of tools administrating the card whatever the telecommunication technology used: 2G, 3G, CDMA. It provides all the necessary fundamentals to FULLY (Proprietary files, Proprietary commands etc...) administrate any 2G and any 3G card (Gemalto & Competition).
The Gemalto Developer Network aims to provide the essential resources to help developers to design and develop successful applications and services that uses Gemalto products or integrate with them. Within this site you’ll find:

The Developer Suite Free Evaluation is available on the Developer Network in the Download section.
Once you installed the Developer Suite on your computer and want to get access to the advanced features - such as loading your Applets on a real card - you will need to register your Developer Suite. For this, go to the Gemalto Web Store in the Kits & Software section. There, you may buy a Developer Suite 2 Years License or a Developer Suite Enterprise Kit. The 2 Years License will enable you to upgrade your Free Evaluation Version to get access to all the advanced Features of the Developer Suite. The Enterprise Kit will be shipped to you and contains the following:
- Developer Suite Software on a CD
- 1 USB Card Reader
- Some Card Samples
- 1 SIM Plugin Adaptor, to easily insert a SIM Plugin inside the Card Reader
- Download the new Eclipse IDE from Eclipse.org website
- Install Eclipse
- Copy the 'links' directory from 'C:\Program Files\Gemalto\Developer Suite\eclipse\' to the newly installed Eclipse
- Change your Developer Suite shortcuts (Desktop, Quick Launch, Start Menu) so that they use the new Eclipse
It will depend on which step of the download/install procedure is returning the SW 69 85. 1. Install for load command
- Check that the mutual authentication was successful.
If you get SW 6A 86 from initial update, it may be caused by a wrong Card Manager AID. (Please, check the end of the FAQ entry for the MM Ready 1.0 case) - If the Mutual Authentication is successful, you should check if this package AID already exists in the card.
- With Application Manager, you may browse the card to find all the existing AID.
- From Eclipse, you may also run your project’s *delete_script (“Script > Play” in the context menu). This script will try to delete the package. If the APDU command (84 E4 …) returns 9000, it means the packaged was already in the card and was successfully deleted. If it returns 6A88, it means the package did not exist on the Card. - If you are using a MM Ready 1.0, please check the end of this FAQ entry.
- Use of additional Libraries
In our Zyrcon Cinemas example, we use a UtilityLibrary. This library shall first be loaded in the card before the ZyrconCinemas Applet. - Use of classes or libraries not supported by your card.
For example, trying to load an Applet importing uicc.usim.toolkit.* packages on a GemXplore 3.0 card. You should try on a GxG card (Gemxplore Generation Card) or modify your Applet. - Special Case for SCWS Cards
Different SCWS Card versions provide different API. For example, not all SCWS Cards provide the com.gemplus.javacard.multimedia.framework.* packages. Try to remove all method related to these packages.
- Instance AID already exists
With Application Manager, browse the content of your Card to check the existing Instances AID. - Error in the install() method
If the instance AID does not existed in your card, it means that something bad happened in the install() method of your applet. Try to run your Project in Debug Mode on the Card Simulator. Specifying a breakpoint at the beginning of your install() method. This will enable you to pinpoint what is wrong when installing the Applet Instance.
- Card Manager AID
If the Initial Update fails, please verify the Card Manager AID.
For MMready1.0, the card manager aid is not [A0 00 00 00 18 43 4D] (default value in Developer Suite 3.1) but [A0 00 00 00 18 43 4D 08 09 0A 0B 0C 00 00 00] You can try to load the applet with Application Manager with the Card Profile "Upteq MMready1.0 scws card".
You can also modify the Card Manager AID in the default key file in Developer suite.
The default scws key file is in “C:\Documents and Settings\User\GemXploreDeveloper\keyfiles\scws card\default.keys”.
Proceed with the following modifications:
#aid.security_domain=hex/A0 00 00 00 18 43 4D
aid.security_domain=hex/A0 00 00 00 18 43 4D 08 09 0A 0B 0C 00 00 00 - Security Domain AID
The default Security Domain AID and Application Specific Parameters are not correct.
In the GDP File of your project, please modify the lines:
SecurityDomainAid="A0000000185201050000000030534357"
ApplicationSpecificParameters="7110A0000000185201050000000040534357"
by
SecurityDomainAid=""
ApplicationSpecificParameters="7110A0000000185201050000000030534357"
Save you GDP File (Ctrl+S) and try again.
