Getting Started. HID Global OMNIKEY 5326 DFR

Software Developer Guide, 5326-903, Rev A.0

1.1 Getting Started

1.1.1 Driver installation

As stated previously, no extra driver installation is necessary and every CCID compliant driver should work with the reader. However, Microsoft’s CCID driver prevents the execution of

CCID Escape commands. If an application uses those commands, apply the following

procedure. See also 2.2.

In order to send or receive an Escape command to a reader, add the DWORD registry value

EscapeCommandEnable and set to a non-zero value under the

HKLM\SYSTEM\CCS\Enum\USB\Vid*Pid*\*\Device Parameters key.

The VID and PID of the reader are 076B and 5326 so create the DWORD under:

HKLM\SYSTEM\CCS\Enum\USB\VID_076B&PID_5326\xxxxxxxx\Device Parameters

And set the value to “1”.

Then the vendor IOCTL for the Escape command is defined as follows:

#define IOCTL_CCID_ESCAPE SCARD_CTL_CODE(3500).
