SAM card slots There are 4 SAM card holders on ACR320. Each holder can contain at most 2 SAM cards, so ACR320 has 8 SAM card slots in total. They are located behind the battery. In order to insert or change SAM cards, please follow some simple steps below.  1.  Follow the instruction in chapter 3.2 to remove the battery cover 2.  Remove the Li-ion battery and the SAM card slots will be seen   SIM2 is the upper slot while SIM1 is the lower slot. For each card holder, if only 1 slot would be inserted with a SAM card, please remember to insert a dummy card to another slot of the holder. If no SAM cards are inserted on a card holder (both 2 SAM slots on the card holder), insert a dummy card on one of the card slot of the holder is all right.

Smartcard reader The Ticket Validator is built-in with a 13.56MHz smartcard reader. The demo application software running at startup read cards continuously. When we present a card in front of the antenna, the demo application software will show a corresponding message.  3.5.  USB Host The USB host port is compliant with USB 1.1 full speed. USB devices (e.g. mouse, keyboard, USB hub, etc) can be connected to the Ticket validator via this port. For standard HID device (e.g. mouse) or mass storage device (e.g. USB drive), no driver is needed.   3.6.  USB Client The USB client port is compliant with USB 2.0 high speed.  3.7.  Ethernet An Ethernet port is provided for connecting to network via RJ45 cable. By default, it uses dynamic IP address. So, when you connect the mobile validator to a network with DHCP server, it should be able to get the IP address automatically.  Cable can be plugged to the mobile validator before or after booting up. 3.8.  3G / GPRS  Before using the 3G/GPRS feature, a SIM card should be installed in the SIM slot before powering up the device.  The application will use the API to gain access to the 3G/GPRS. 3.9.  RS232/485 The RS232/485 signals can be accessed via the 60 pin connector.
