The desktop reader is designed to sit next to the PC. It is used for adding tokens to a Net2 system and also for identifying lost cards. Additional workstations can also have desktop readers.
With the Net2 software running, any new token presented above the desktop reader will cause the new user wizard to appear with the card number displayed. Additional user details can then be entered.
If the token is already known to the system, the relevant user's record will appear.
