Abstract

The invention creates a method for enabling a terminal to determine an activated memory configuration of a storage medium that can be operated in the terminal. For this purpose an interruption and subsequent restoration of the contact existing at an interface of the storage medium between the storage medium and the terminal is—at least partly—simulated, wherein upon the simulation of the restoration or interruption of the contact the terminal is caused to determine the activated memory configuration of the storage medium.
