Using AirID
AirID supports various operating systems like Windows, MacOS, Linux, iOS and Android. The basic requirement is the Bluetooth Low Energy functionality of the device. When AirID is successfully paired and the driver is installed, the inserted smart card is available to be used for cryptographical operations such as authentication or data encryption. This requires an applet on the smart card and the corresponding middleware for the operating system used.
The AirID software consists of two components:
- AirID Central App - a management software for your AirID forming the basis for usage of the device. The tool provides you with information and setting options for your AirID when your reader is connected to your device.
- AirID drivers, which ensures the communication between the AirID and the operating system, must be installed additionally depending on the platform or is already integrated in the Apps and solutions of third party vendors.
AirID can be used with different terminals and platforms, but not in parallel operation.
Windows
The use of AirID under Windows is only possible as of Windows 8.1 due to the Bluetooth Low Energy functionality required. For use under Windows 7, an ONEKEY BRIDGE is additionally required.
Installation and Pairing
- Download the latest installer (zipped .msi file) for Windows at AirID - Software, Driver & SDK.
- Unzip and double click on the .msi installer file.
- Follow the instructions in the installation wizard.
- The AirID Windows driver and the AirID Central App are now installed.
- Insert your smart card to power on the AirID reader and activate Bluetooth at the AirID reader by navigating to the connection menu and pressing the jog dial control element. The AirID should display:
- Open Windows "Settings→ Devices→ Bluetooth". Your AirID should be listed with its serial number. Press "Pair"
Enter 6 digit pairing key shown on AirID display and also on the Windows 10 PC. If the PIN matches press Connect on the Windows 10 system and choose Yes on the AirID by scrolling down in the menu and pressing the jog dial control element
- After succesful pairing, "Your device is ready to go!" and the AirID serial number will be displayed on the Windows system and the device name of the paired device will be displayed on the AirID.
The AirID can now be used.
Tip |
---|
If there are any problems with the pairing process, restart the process. If necessary, delete the stored pairing information (see 5.1.2 "Deleting the Connection") |
Tip |
---|
After the driver has been succesfully installed and paired, AirID is displayed as follows under Device Manager. AirID is detected as "Microsoft USBCCID Smartcard Reader" if it is connected via USB. |
Silent Installation of the Driver
Silent installation is used for installation of the AirID driver without user interaction, usually from a batch file or other script.
To perform a silent install using the ZIP format driver, extract the ZIP file, then run the AirID Installer .EXE program for the driver with the following comand line switch:
Panel | ||||
---|---|---|---|---|

Any problem can be found in the log file.
The command to uninstall the software package is as follows:
