How can I know for sure that my PC/SC reader is properly installed on Windows?

Put a card on the reader, and use our PC/SC Diagnostic tool (from the “Quickstart for PC/SC” package, on our main website) to send “FFCA000000” : the card should answer its serial number, proving that you can communicate with it.

My SpringCard PC/SC reader doesn’t seem to work at all on Windows. What should I do?

First thing to do is to install it properly and check that the “Smart Card” service is up and running. This is explained on our PC/SC installation guide.
Now, if this doesn’t solve your problem, please consult the Windows PC/SC troubleshooting page on our blog.

Where can I find a substitute for Hyper Terminal?

You can download Putty, this is a good substitute for the Hyper Terminal.

My SpringCard PC/SC reader is installed and works well, but Windows complains about missing drivers for smartcards. What is the matter?

See this page.

Terminal
Any device that can communicate with a smart card (e.g., reader, coupler...). Certain terminals can operate in standalone mode, while others must be connected to a central information system to access an application.
