Sun Ray 2.0 and earlier can work with ISO 7816 cards that use the "T=0" data transfer protocol. 2.0 knows how to extract a unique ID from about twenty card families. What kind of card are you using? Does it support T=0 transfers? > While I search on the internet for my problem I find some old document dated > back to 1999 that state that the Sun ray only support PayFlex card? The early Sun Ray releases, before 1.3 I think, could only recognise four or five card types including MicroPayflex and Payflex. These were recognised by the firmware. > But because the thin client should be a thinclient solution (no os on the > machine) and the firmware is loaded from the server, the smartcard support > issue should be firmware thing not a hardware thing or? Card recognition was originally handled in the firmware. That was OK until customers started wanting to use their existing smartcards, then it became impractical. Card recognition is now handled by the server, which instructs the firmware to conduct certain low-level card transactions and report the results to the server. (The firmware still tries to recognise the original four or five cards but if that doesn't succeed then it's up to the server to identify the card type and ID.) > When I insert a smartcard to the smartcard reader of the Sun Ray 1 I don't > get any error messages at all.

So we start to suspect that > the card reader on the Sun Ray is broken ;-( The card LED should light even if you insert a T=1 card, so it's possible that the reader is broken. It's also possible that you're putting the card in the wrong way around. On a Sun Ray 1 the card goes in with the chip on the left, on a 100 it goes in with the chip down, on a 150 it goes in with the chip away from you. There are little icons next to the card slot that try to indicate the correct orientation but they're hard to see. OttoM. __ ottomeister Disclaimer: These are my opinions.
