1. Introduction
1.1 Scope
This user guide describes the use of the USB CCID host application (USB-CCID.exe). This software
provides users with a Windows-based GUI application to communicate to the Teridian USB CCID reader
firmware running on 73S12xxF-based smart card reader devices. This program allows the user to
interface directly to the USB CCID firmware using a PC running Windows XP
®
and exercise its
functionality as a demonstration and test platform.

Figure 1: USB CCID System
The setup of the USB CCID system is shown in Figure 1. This document applies to the gray box. The
Reader Device (herein referred to as Device) is connected to the host PC USB port via a standard USB
cable. When the Device is plugged into a Windows host PC, the Windows Add New Hardware Wizard
launches and prompts the user to install a driver for the newly found hardware. The CCID application
firmware operates with both the standard Microsoft CCID driver (usbccid.sys) and the Teridian enhanced
CCID driver (ccidtsc.sys). The software installation disk contains the Windows .inf file for both drivers.
Browse to the directory containing the .inf files; the Wizard displays the dialog as shown in Figure 2.
Select a driver and complete the driver installation.
