Adding a Card Reader (Console)

With the SmartCard Console, you set up a card reader by selecting Card Readers from the Navigation pane. This option lets you:

• Add a new card reader

• View and modify properties set up for an already a previously configured card reader

How to Add a New Card Reader (Console)

See "How to Start the SmartCard Console (Command Line)" for help on starting the SmartCard Console.

1. (Optional) Ensure that you have already physically attached the external card reader to the system.

   Physically attach the external smart card reader to the serial port, following instructions in the card reader documentation.

2. Click Card Readers on the Navigation pane.

3. Double-click Add Reader.

4. Double-click the type of card reader you want to add.

   The CardReaders: SunCardReader dialog box is displayed.

5. Select the Basic Configuration folder tab.

6. Click the down arrow under Device Port.

7. Click the port that the card reader is attached to.

8. Click OK.

Viewing or Modifying Card Reader Properties (Console)

The Basic Configuration folder for your card reader includes these properties:

• Unique Card Terminal Name - Contains a unique name to identify the card reader (called the user_friendly_reader name in the command-line procedures for adding a card reader)

• Model Name - Contains the manufacturer's model name for the card reader you selected from the Add Reader dialog box (called the card_reader_model name in Table 3-2)

• Device Port - Contains the fully-qualified device name for the port where the reader is attached, for example /dev/cua/b for serial port b

The Advanced Configuration folder contains the card_terminal_factory_name for the card reader, as supplied by the manufacturer. You do not need to change this name unless the manufacturer changes the name for a newer release of the card reader.

How to View or Modify Card Reader Properties (Console)

Use this procedure to view or modify basic properties for your card reader.

1. Type a unique name for your card reader in the Unique Card Terminal Name field, or accept the default name.

   If you have more than one card reader of the same type attached to the system, you must type a unique card terminal name for each reader.

2. Type the Model Name for the card reader, only if you are using a newer version of the card reader than the one with the Model Name displayed.

3. Click on the arrow and select the appropriate device path.

4. Restart ocfserv, if prompted.
