Smartcard interface
- 1 standard ISO ID-1 slot (« credit card »),
- ISO 7816 (3 and 4) standard, supporting both T=0 and T=1 protocols,
- 5V or 3V cards (classes A and AB),
- Baudrate : up to 115kpbs,
- Gemalto GemCore chipset.
Synchronous memory cards (S=8, S=9, S=10) may be supported through specific software development.
SIM/SAM Interfaces
- 3 ID-000 slots for SIM or SAM smartcards,
- ISO 7816 (3 and 4) standard, supporting both T=0 and T=1 protocols,

One of the slots is accessible without opening the product, and features a card presence switch.
USB PC/SC interfaces
- Standard USB CCID profile, compliant with PC/SC version 2 specifications,
- USB 2.0 full-speed (12Mbit/s), USB 1.1 compliant, powered by the bus,
- PC/SC compliant driver for Windows 2000/XP/Vista/7 (32 and 64 bits),
- Supported by PCSC-Lite open-source PC/SC stack and driver on Linux and Mac,
- Embedded APDU interpreter, giving easy access to memory contactless cards (MIFARE, ICODE and others) through classical READ BINARY and UPDATE BINARY commands,
- Sample software and development kit for PC/SC available freely.
To ensure backward compatibility with earlier applications developed for CSB4, K531 or K632 using SpringProx API, this product may also be configured for « Legacy » operation.
