The Debitek Chip Card Reader Logon DLL supports SmartCity chip card readers. The DLL returns the card balance and card ID for type 0 and 1 chip cards. Card types 2-6 are not supported.

Note: If you use a firmware version between 7.02.97 and 7.05.81 for the Debitek Chip reader, please use the DebitekMag.dll card reader DLL instead.

The Debitek reader supports multiple protocols. To work with Pharos, the card reader must be configured to use Enhanced DCT (EDCT). This can be done with a Data Collector, available from Debitek. For more information consult your card reader supplier.
