Interactive Set-Up   
48  AX3000 - User's Manual 
This function is designed for PC/SC-compliant smartcard readers. Two readers 
are supported by the Axel terminal: 
- CCID readers, 
- Aladdin eToken. 
Note: Some "non-PC/SC" readers are also supported. This is achieved with the 
RDP/ICA COM port redirection (or by the tty protocol for Unix/Linux). In this 
case RS232 devices or USB-RS232 devices must be used (see Chapter 3.4.7). 
For the PC/SC devices, a "reader store" is maintained by the terminal. This 
store is accessed by the [Configuration]-[Advanced]-[Other]-[Smartcard 
Readers] menu: 
A reader is automatically added to the store when being connected for the first 
time. Up to four readers can be stored. To consult or change reader 
characteristics select the entry and press <Space>. A dialog box as shown is 
displayed: 
Smartcard reader parameters are: 
- Reader ID: this value can't be modified. It's composed by the 
"Manufacturer ID" and "Product ID". 
- Vendor Name: character string sent back by the terminal when a 
SCardGetAttrib (option SCARD_ATTR_VENDOR_NAME) command is 
issued by a Windows PC/SC application.
