Questions about this item

What computer interface is required for the Kensington K55115US to function?

The K55115US is a wired keyboard, so it requires an available USB port on the host computer for both power and data communication.

Will the K55115US smart card reader work with legacy CAC middleware already installed on my system?

The integrated reader follows common smart card standards, allowing it to operate with existing CAC middleware and drivers without additional hardware.

How can I verify the smart card reader on the K55115US is active after connecting it?

Insert a CAC or PIV card; the reader LED should illuminate and the operating system will enumerate the smart card device in Device Manager.
