Insert or present the contact or contactless smart card as required by your application; secure elements can be managed through the built-in SAM slot. Use the host application to send APDU commands for transactions, authentication or data access. Firmware updates can be applied over USB when provided by the vendor.

Recommendations

The reader is intended for controlled environments; install it on a stable surface and avoid exposure to extreme temperatures or moisture. For secure payment and access applications, follow your organisation's security policies for SAM management, firmware updates and cable routing. Use the RS-232 interface where legacy serial connectivity is required and USB for modern host systems.
