PIN Pad and Smart Cards Operations

The following sections outline the available actions for the connected PIN Pad.

If the PIN Pad transaction is interrupted for a period of about 90 seconds, it automatically switches to a time-out status.
Timeouts are not indicated on the PIN Pad display. The display will turn blank and you will find the timeout information in Webconf.

If the PIN is entered three times incorrect, the Smart Card will be not usable any longer.
