Tag	Value (hex)	Description
File Type Version	One byte indicating the version of the file type format being used.	0xAA
SHA-1 Hash	20-byte hash of all values that follow
One or more instances of the following entry point tables for supported contactless payment brands. The host should include an Entry Point Table for each transaction type to be supported by each contactless payment brand AID listed in the loaded EMV Processing Configuration File Type.

GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com. ## Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question. Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter: ``` GET https://developer.magtek.com/api-and-command-reference/scra-dynafamily-programmers-manual/data-types-and-shared-tlv-data-objects/emv-entry-point-configuration-file-type.md?ask=&goal= ``` `ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. `goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
