2 Keyboard Wedge Mode
The default configuration for the OMNIKEY 5x27 CK is CCID mode. Before using the
Keyboard Wedge output, activate the Keyboard Wedge mode.
To enable the Keyboard Wedge mode, select the
Keyboard Wedge tab and select the
Keyboard Wedge Enable checkbox. Return to CCID mode by de-selecting the Keyboard
Wedge Enable checkbox.
Note: When Keyboard Wedge is selected, the 5x27 CK enumerates as a Human-Interface
USB device. Therefore, CCID interfaces are not be available. The web interface is available in
both CCID and Keyboard Wedge modes.
Figure 3 – Enabling Keyboard Wedge
Due to card data selection and manipulation, the keyboard wedge configuration options are
split into separate tabs with firmware 03000000 or higher:
General Config: Keyboard wedge settings that apply to all card types
Card Data Selection: Identifies per card type what data fields shall be selected and sent to
the host system via the keyboard wedge interface
Card Data Manipulation: Sets the data manipulation operations as well as output modes for
each selected data field. This allows modifying the bitstream read from the card with various
options (see later chapters for supported operations) before it is sent to the host system.
