2.2 PC-Linked Readers
2.2.1 ACR30 Smart Card Reader/Writer
The ACR30 is a compact and cost-effective reader which supports
all microcontroller cards with T=0 or T=1 protocols as well as the
popular memory cards in the market today. It supports smart cards
that conform to ISO 7816-1/2/3 standard. The ACR30 is Microsoft
PC/SC compliant and supports all major PC platforms.
Being a single chip solution, with EMV level 1 certified, this reader is
one of the most cost effective solutions for banking, e-commerce,
information security, computer access control, electronic
identification, and other smart card applications. The ACR30 smart
card reader/writer can be connected to the computer through a serial
asynchronous interface (RS-232) or USB interface. ACR30 has an
optional built-in Security Access Module (SAM) slot that supports
various high security applications. Other casing designs are also
available.
