# enterWiredMode(using:)

Enters wired mode to perform maintenance operations with the given credential.

```
func enterWiredMode(using credential: CredentialSession.Credential) async throws
```

## Parameters

`credential`

The installed credential with which to enter wired mode.

## Discussion

You can call this method in any session state. If successful, the state transitions to [`CredentialSession.State.wired(credential:)`](/documentation/SecureElementCredential/CredentialSession/State-swift.enum/wired(credential:)). The state transitions to [`CredentialSession.State.management`](/documentation/SecureElementCredential/CredentialSession/State-swift.enum/management) if the call encounters a [`CredentialSession.ErrorCode.resourceUnavailable`](/documentation/SecureElementCredential/CredentialSession/ErrorCode/resourceUnavailable) error; otherwise the state remains unchanged.

- The most common errors are:
  - [`CredentialSession.ErrorCode.invalidCredentialState`](/documentation/SecureElementCredential/CredentialSession/ErrorCode/invalidCredentialState): The credential isn’t in the [`CredentialSession.Credential.State.installed(instances:)`](/documentation/SecureElementCredential/CredentialSession/Credential/State-swift.enum/installed(instances:)) state.
  - [`CredentialSession.ErrorCode.resourceUnavailable`](/documentation/SecureElementCredential/CredentialSession/ErrorCode/resourceUnavailable): The system resource is unavailable. The session transitions to [`CredentialSession.State.management`](/documentation/SecureElementCredential/CredentialSession/State-swift.enum/management).
