Overview
The OMNIKEY® 5325 is a dual interface PC-linked reader that
reads 125kHz Prox (RFID) contactless smart cards and
reads/writes virtually any contact smart card. The dual interface
feature economically supports end-user environments where both
contactless and contact smart card technology may be in use.
The OMNIKEY 5325 is a USB plug and play device. The USB cable is
fixed to the reader. To connect the reader with your PC, plug the
USB connector to an unused USB port of your computer.
When the reader is working the LED on the right is lighting up
green. If the reader is not working consult the “OMNIKEY Installation
Manual” for driver setup.
For using a contact card, put the card with the contacts facing up in
the reader. For contactless operation, hold the card next to the logo
on top of the reader.
When the reader is exchanging data with the card (reading or
writing) the LED on the right is blinking red.
