You can connect a signature module (Smart Card Reader) to an optiPoint 500/600 telephone (Up0E interface) as well as to an optiPoint 410/600 HFA IP phone.

A smart card can be inserted into a signature module and is authenticated by the SmartCard Access Application (SCAA) that runs on a server connected to the OpenScape 4000 over the CAP/CA4000. Once authenticated by the SmartCard Access Application (SCAA), you can access any applications that communicate with the SCAA application on the server.

The Smart Card Application:

• supports smart cards that comply with the standard ISO 7816, parts 1-4.
• supports the Local Security Check Procedure which requires users to enter an ID over the telephone's keypad and display to prove their identity as card owner.
• provides a connection over OpenScape 4000 between the signature module and the SmartCard Access Application (SCAA) on the server to record smart card insertion and removal, control the Local Security Check Procedure (LSCP), perform authentication and provide user guidance for using the smart card with the SmartCard Access Application (SCAA).
• supports the AMU - Mobile Station application for activating the OpenScape 4000 PIN.
