Card reader
When a driver, company or workshop card is inserted, the card data is read out
via the card reader and stored as a file in the internal memory of the
VDO SmartTerminal.
Once the data of a driver card has been read out, you can view it on the touch-
screen display.
USB interface
The data is read out via the USB interface from a download key and stored in
the internal memory of the VDO SmartTerminal.
Furthermore, you use this interface in standalone operation to transmit config-
uration data via a USB stick into the VDO SmartTerminal or to download the
stored data of the driver cards and download keys when there is no direct con-
nection to a computer.
Touchscreen display with RFID reader
The coloured touchscreen display is used for guiding the user and for display-
ing the data of the currently inserted driver card or the currently inserted down-
load key.
Operation occurs via the touchscreen, just like with a smart phone or tablet.
Touching the display enables you to navigate through the menu structure.
You can use the RFID reader to carry out a driver's license test.
Network connection (rear side)
You use the network connection to integrate the VDO SmartTerminal into the
network or to connect it to a computer using a crossed network cable.
