4. Smart Card Interface driver use
-----------------------------------

   4.1. Driver installation

   WARNING, the reader power cable must not be connected to the 
   keyboard port when the computer is running, this action may
   damage your machine!
   Power off the PC before any operation on that connector!

      4.1.1. Installation

         Via a windows explorer, locate the files in the
	 "NT4" directory,
         Right click on file named GRSERIALNT4.INF,
         Select the "Install" option in the menu.
         Then Power off your computer.
         Plug your smart card reader in COM port 1 (default).
         [Note: If you want to use another COM port than COM1, or add 
	 other readers of the same type, please go to
	 section 4.4 "Change COM port / Add more readers"]
         Remove any floppy disk and restart your system.

      4.1.2. Check your installation

	 After the restart,
	 Open the Control Panel,

         the same side as the Gemplus Logo on the reader),
         The flashing device LED goes solid: this means that you

      4.4.1. Change COM Port

        Go to the following registry key, via the Registry editor:
	HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlServices\GrSerial
	Double click on ComDevice_0 and
        enter the desired COM port number.
        Then restart the computer.

	E.g., set ComDevice_0 to 2 if the reader is connected to COM2.

     4.4.2. To add more readers

        Go to the following registry key, via the Registry editor:
	HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlServices\GrSerial
        Add a new DWORD value named ComDevice_1,
        Enter the desired COM port number.
        Power off the computer,
        Connect the new reader to the selected port,
        Restart the computer.

        Example, set ComDevice_1 to 2 if the second reader is connected to
        COM2.
        Note that the value ComDevice_1 must be different from ComDevice_0. 
	


5 - User notes (known deviations)
---------------------------------

* The Smart Card Resource Manager is not Plug and Play on Windows NT4.
  This is a system limitation. You *must reboot* your system after a 
  reader installation to be able to use it.

* When going to suspend mode, Windows unloads most device drivers.
  Even though device drivers are reloaded on resume, the Microsoft 
  Smart Card Resource Manager does not update its references to these
  devices.
  Note that you might also get the message:
  "Reader monitor '' received uncaught error code. The 
  device does not recognize the command."
  We recommend that you configure your computer so that it cannot go
  to suspend mode and that you shut it down instead of using the
  suspend mode.

* This driver does not support Plug and Play requests nor power 
  management.  This is a limitation of Windows NT4 and Microsoft's
  Smart Card Resource Manager.


6. Troubleshooting
-------------------
If the previously described procedure didn't succeed in installing or
updating the driver, please

1- Verify that the reader cable is connected to a usable computer
   COM port

2- Verify that the power cable is connected to the keyboard port.

3- Open the Device Manager, 
   click on the "Smart card readers" group and
   check the state of the Gemplus GemPC410 reader.
   If a cross appears, select the reader, 
   click on property in the menu and 
   check the line "de-activate in this material profile" and 
   contact the support.
