HID OMNIKEY 3121 User Guide - Manual

This guide describes the OMNIKEY® Smart Card Reader
installation under Windows® XP SP3.
Three types of installation exist:
• Unattended (preferred installation)
• Automatic (internet connection required)
• Manual
Unattended
The Unattended installation is the preferred method. Unattended
installation files are found at www.hidglobal.com/omnikey .
Optionally, obtain these files from an installation CD (if
available).
1. To download the latest OMNIKEY Unattended setup drivers,
go to: www.hidglobal.com/omnikey , and select Driver
Downloads.
2. Select your OMNIKEY product and operating system.
3. From the list, select the
Unattended Setup Installer and
confirm the license agreement.
4. Double-click the executable file and follow the instructions
displayed in the setup window.
Note: In addition, download API drivers. The SYNC-API is
often required for applications with memory or contactless
cards. While the CT-API is often required for PinPad reader
use (electronic signature applications), as well as health
care applications.
In standard installations, installing these APIs is suggested.
CAUTION:
• For driver installation local administration rights
may be required.
• Do not plug-in the OMNIKEY reader into your
computer until setup is complete.
5. Execute the Unattended Setup.EXE file and follow the
Install Wizard instructions.
Note: For uninstalling the OMNIKEY drivers, restart
the setup or (from the control panel) use Add/Remove
Programs.

(USB, ExpressCard, or PCMCIA).

hardware connected to the port (USB, ExpressCard, or
PCMCIA).

ExpressCard, or PCMCIA).
2. Windows detects the new hardware connected to the port
(USB, ExpressCard, or PCMCIA) and requests the drivers.
3. After the Windows Hardware Wizard opens. Windows
requests to connect to Windows Update to search for
software, click Yes, this time only.

appropriate driver installed through Windows Update.
The OMNIKEY reader is ready for use.
Note: This OMNIKEY Reader is CCID compliant, therefore, you

readers advanced features and functions.

Diagnostic Tool section for testing the
installation.
