Sounds like this unit has been treated unkindly. I've seen the reader frame popped open like that when someone has forced a foreign object into the reader slot, never in normal use. > However I have done some more testing with our Sun Ray unit and it seems > like the Sun Ray reader in our unit is really sensitive because we now need > to put the card slowly into the reader and often we need to test 2-3 times > before we get the "gren light" on the smartcard reader and recogonize the > reader. > So my conclusion is that the reader is broken because I don't think that Sun > have build a system that is that sensitive about how you put the smartcard > into the reader (beside the fact that you need to put it with the right side > into the reader). I agree, this seems to be a damaged unit. There's a microswitch at the back of the reader that tells the unit when a card is present. If that switch is damaged or gunked up then the reader might not even realise that a card is present and firmware won't try to interact with it. This could explain the sensitivity. > But I will try to ask my boss to buy a 2:nd UNIT probable > directly from Sun to test with. Or do you have any experience with that Sun > Ray smartcard reader is to sensitive sometime (beside the fact that you need > to put the card with the right side up)? The reader isn't supposed to be this sensitive, I think it's broken. If you got this one from Sun then you should be able to get it exchanged under warranty, as long as you don't tell them you opened it up. If you're just experimenting then you can often find a few units on Ebay, that's usually much cheaper than buying a brand new unit. OttoM. __ [EMAIL PROTECTED] Disclaimer: These are my opinions.
