Possibilities

EXTRA CARDREADER
For eg: Octagon, VU+, Dreambox, Reelbox, Triple Dragon, Linux PC or Windows PC

MULTIPLE SMARTREADERS
SmartReaders can be cascaded in an USB hub

SERIAL CARDREADER MODE
Linux: /dev/usb/tts/X or serial COM port under Windows

This state of the art reader provides you almost unlimited possibilities. The pure USB reader enables full RS232 communication over USB. It is not only ISO7816 compatible but IS 100% ISO7816. The integrated USB to Serial converter enables the SmartReader Plus to work with all standard Phoenix compatible Linux and Windows applications.

Existing 3rd party software can be used through the Com Port, although connected through USB. Currently 3rd party software requires a Phoenix/Smartmouse compatible reader through a Serial/COMport.

The fullspeed USB 2.0 (USB 1.1 compliant) interface and powerfull CPU ensures the fastest communication possible. The high-end design of the reader is very firm and of high quality.

The firmware is flashable and upgradable. Future smartcards and features can be added without the need for new hardware.
The desktop software will be updated frequently. When needed a firmware upgrade will be available for free.
