I want to find card reader solution for contact card. - there is one PC that controls all terminals. - Terminal is card reader/writer - smart card stored user information and amount of money. User will use smart card at a terminal to charge for their service (canteen, library) and terminal will decrease value of money stored in smart card.
How many readers do you want to use? PC/SC Lite supports actually 16 readers maximum.
I use many readers on USB with USB hub. See pictures on [1].
With CT-API there is some banks used more than 16 readers [2].
I don't know where to find (and buy) what kind of these terminal and how to integrate them to my network (TCP/IP). a solution is there is a hub that all terminal will connect to and that hub is connect to a PC via TCP/IP using my avaible network. Is it possible ?
Perhaps if you find TCP/IP readers. But if you find such readers I don't think that they support PC/SC. IMHO they may have a proprietary APIs.
Could you please give me some information about software for Smart card Management ? I have so few information about it.
See PC/SC Lite documentation [3] (in the doc directory) and CT-API [4].
- What does Smart card Management server include ? (DB server, .. ?) - How does it work - How many server may I need ? Thanks and best Regards
We only provide the management of the smart card reader and the communication with the card(s) and after it is your responsability to implement the framework that you need.
