SmartCard
The SIMpad SL4 has a PC/SC SmartCard API. Further information can be found
under http://www.pcscworkgroup.com.
The SmartCard reader supports the T=1 block-oriented transmission protocol (defined
in ISO7816-3). The commonly used T=0 protocol is officially not supported due to a
hardware defect of the SmartCard reader chip. However, the transmission mistakes of
the SmartCard reader may be compensated on the application side.
PC-Card
The following drivers are pre-installed and tested:
•
I-Gate 11M PC-Card (WLAN PC-Card, see 3.1)
•
Home RF PC-Card (see 3.2)
Other PC-Cards may be used but require the specific driver software to be loaded on
the SIMpad SL4. Additional drivers will be held in the RAM memory (see 2.4) and
therefore will be deleted on a Cold Start or a Factory Reset (see 0).
Software Update
The software image contains the operating system, the Handheld PC programs and
the standard programs. It is stored in the flash memory. Software image updates can
