ABOUT THIS MANUAL

This manual describes the features, specification and installation of PC/SC driver for

EZ100PK/PR PC/SC IC card reader.

EZ100 PC/SC User’s Manual V1.3

1. Introduction

The EZ100PK/PR PC/SC IC card reader/writer is an interface for the

communication between a personal computer and an IC card.

EZ100PK/PR PC/SC provides a uniform and simple interface to the computer,

Through the interface, it becomes much easier for an application software

programmer to process different types of IC cards.

Users who are using the EZ100PK/PR PC/SC don’t need to know the detail of the

communication protocol and physical layer of cards. However, They do need to know

the command set of a specific smart card or the memory organization of a memory

card in order to write their particular application software.

The EZ100PR PC/SC reader is connected to the COM port of the computer

through its RS232 interface for the data communication. And it also has a cable to be

connected to the keyboard port of the computer to get its power. Whereas, the

EZ100PK PC/SC reader has only one cable connected to the keyboard port for both

data communication and power.

The PC/SC Workgroup, a joint effort of Bull CP8, Gemplus, Hewlett-Packard,

IBM Corporation, Microsoft, Schlumberger, Siemens Nixdorf, Sun Microsystems,

Toshiba and VeriFone was initiated to develop a specification that can facilitate the

interoperability necessary to allow Integrated Circuit Card (ICC) technology to be

effectively utilized in the PC environment. In addition to development of the

specification, the PC/SC Workgroup members are committed to implementation of

both hardware devices and PC system components necessary to validate the design

efforts. This is deemed a critical step in the process of moving toward accepted

standards and will provide a base of experience from which to further refine and/or

enhance this specification. For more information, please reference the PC/SC

Workgroup web site : http://www.pcscworkgroup.com/.

Note: All the EZ series IC card readers can do both read and write functions to IC

cards. However, the term “card reader” or “reader” is usually and commonly in use

for this kind of devices.

4. IC Card Interface

A.IC Card Power Supply VCC

The EZ100PK/PR PC/SC reader supplies power to cards. The maximum

current consumption of an IC card should not exceed 50mA.

B.Programming Voltage VPP

Since all common IC cards currently being used in the market have an

internal charge pump to supply the Vpp from the Vcc for writing/erasing internal

EEPROM. The Vpp is not needed any more. Therefore, The EZ100PK/PR PC/SC

reader connects this pin to Vcc always to avoid floating.

C.Card Acceptor

The EZ100PK/PR PC/SC reader provides a push-pull type of card acceptor. It

has guaranteed 200,000 insertion cycles.

D.Card Insertion Detection

There is a card detecting switch in the IC card acceptor to detect the card is

present or absent.

EZ100 PC/SC User’s Manual V1.3

E. LED Indicator

Dual colors LED indicates the power On/Off status of the IC card interface

Red color:

1. Light steadily: The power supply to the IC card is switched on.

2. Blinking: Data is exchanging between the reader and card. Do not

withdraw the card at this stage.

Green color:

The power supply to the IC card is switched off. Users can insert or

remove the IC card at this stage.

F. Card Tearing Protection

To avoid any unexpected damage to the card, the card should be remained in

the reader while it is powered on (LED is red). Once the card being withdrawn

during the power-on state, the EZ100PK/PR PC/SC reader will automatically

shutdown the power supply to the card and deactivate all interface connection to

the 8 pins to protect both the card and reader itself.

It is absolutely prohibited to withdraw the card while the red LED is blinking,

Otherwise the data inside the card may be incorrect.

G.Short Circuit Protection

The EZ100PK/PR PC/SC reader provides a mechanism to protect itself from

being damaged by the short circuit caused by a bad card or other objects. The

current limit mechanism will shutdown the card interface once it detects an

over-current.

EZ100 PC/SC User’s Manual V1.3

5. Supported Card Types

The EZ100PK/PR PC/SC reader supports most common used memory cards and CPU

based smart cards. The smart card must comply with ISO7816-3 T=0 or T=1

asynchronous transmission protocol.

The application software must send a power on card command to the reader at first

before sending any other commands related to the card. Upon receiving the power on

card command and the EZ100PK/PR PC/SC reader detects there is a card inserted, it

will reset the card according to ISO7816. While resetting the card, a smart card will

send out its ATR contents to the reader. If it is a memory card, the reader will send

clock to the card and read out its first 4 bytes of data.

7. SOFTWARE INSTALLTION

Before installation (Important!):

For Windows 95/98/NT4.0:

You should install the Smart Card Base Component (filename: SCBASE.EXE) and

update the Smart Card Library (filename: SMCLIB.EXE) in windows before installing

EZ100PK/PR PC/SC driver.

Note:

The Smart Card Base Component will install the smart card library into the computer

(“smclib.vxd” in windows\system for Windows 95/98 or “smclib.sys” in

windows\system32/drivers for Windows NT4.0 ). The driver will not function correctly

without smart card library.

The Smart Card Base Component is not plug and play, so after installing the

EZ100PK/PR driver, you should restart the system to get the whole Smart Card

system work, then insert the card, the LED of reader should appear red color.

For Windows 2000:

Windows 2000 fully supports Smart Card supported. After installing the EZ100PK/PR

PC/SC driver, in order to work properly, you need to start the Smart Card Resource

Manager in Windows 2000.

To start the resource manager:

1.Login with Administrator.

2.Enter MyComputer / Control Panel / Administrator Tools / Services

3.Find“Smart Card” service and Start it.
