3 Features of the NEPTUN chrom
3.1 Ingress Protection 54 (IP54)
The NEPTUN chrom is protected against dust and water according to IP54 regulations.
IP stands for ingress protection and is a rating code commonly used for security
equipment. It consists of two digits, which show the level of protection a device has
against dust and water.
The IP rating normally has two numbers:
➢ First digit: protection from solid objects or materials (dust)
➢ Second digit: protection from liquids (water)
The NEPTUN chrom keyboard has the following rating:
First digit
=5
Protected against dust (no harmful deposit)
Second digit = 4
Protection against splashing of water from any directions
Please note: The IP54 rating only applies to the standard version of the NEPTUN
chrom. If the keyboard is equipped with the following features, it is not protected
against water and dust:
•
Chip card module
•
Pointing device
•
Serial AUX port
•
USB AUX port
3.1.1 Optical Character Recognition (OCR) Reader
The built-in OCR reader is able to scan and decode MRZ data of various documents.
The reader is equipped with an infrared illumination for reading ID cards and passport
documents.

Doc.-Rev: 2018-06-06
•
Personal OCR encoded travel documents e.g. visa, crew member cards
according to ICAO 9303
The standard OCR read rate higher than 99%.
3.1.2 Magnetic Stripe Reader (MSR)
The integrated 3-track magnetic stripe reader is able to read and decode all magnetic
documents encoded according to ISO 7811/2-5. This functionality allows the
handling of documents such as CUTE sign-on cards, credit cards, frequent flyer cards,
employee cards and many more.
The device automatically recognizes each document type and decodes the information
accordingly.
3.1.3 Multicolor LED
Next to the standard keyboard LEDs (Num-, Scroll- and Caps-Lock), the NEPTUN
chrom is equipped with a multicolor status LED for user feedback (see picture below).
Picture1: Blue colored keyboard LEDs with multicolor status LED
The status LED displays the OCR and MSR scanner result with the following
indications:
Turned off
idle mode
Green
good read result (2 seconds)
Red
bad read result (blinking, 2 times)
3.1.4 Buzzer
The NEPTUN chrom is equipped with an internal buzzer for audible user feedback.
The buzzer volume can be adjusted by device configuration. See chapter 7 for further
details regarding firmware and device configuration.

The Buzzer has by default the following functionality:
Good read result:
one short buzzer sound
Bad read result:
three short buzzer sounds
3.1.5 Serial AUX Port (optional)
Optionally, the NEPTUN chrom can be equipped with a serial auxiliary device port,
realized in a SUBD 9pin male connector. This AUX port can be used to connect a
barcode reader. Every data send from the barcode reader will be sent unchanged to
the system.
If an application does expect any special protocol format, the barcode reader has to
be configured accordingly and has to support this protocol itself.
PIN Assignment for AUX Port (SUBD 9pin male):
PIN-1: NC
PIN6: NC
PIN-2: RXD
PIN7: RTS
PIN-3: TXD
PIN8: CTS
PIN-4: NC
PIN9: NC
PIN-5: GND
Picture 2: SUBD of NEPTUN chrom
3.1.6 Chip Card Module (optional)
The NEPTUN chrom can be equipped with an ISO 7816 compliant chip card reader.
The card reader module is designed for reading synchronous and asynchronous chip
cards with the following standards:
ISO 7816, 2-wire SLE 4432/42, 3-wire SLE 4418/28, I2C, SLE 4404.

3.1.7 NFC/RFID Reader (optional)
The NEPTUN chrom is available with an integrated NFC/RFID module. This module can
read RFID documents according to ISO 14443(A/B), e.g. RFID chip of a biometric
passport.
3.1.8 USB AUX Ports (optional)
The NEPTUN chrom can be equipped with two additional USB ports realized in USB-A
connectors.
It has to be considered that, in case of USB bus powered devices, these two USB AUX
ports and the NEPTUN chrom have to share the power, which is provided by the USB
port of the workstation. According to the USB 2.0 specification, one USB port has to
provide 500 mA. In chapter 11 the power consumption of the NEPTUN chrom is listed.
3.1.9 Integrated Pointing Device (optional)
The NEPTUN chrom can be equipped with an integrated pointing device. It consists of
a trackpoint and two mouse buttons, located below the space key.
Installation and Setup
4.1
Software Setup
Information about the software (including documentation), driver and SDK can be
found in the DESKO download area. The link and login data for the download area can
be found in the Quick Installation Guide, which is shipped with the device, or contact
support@desko.com.
4.2
Hardware Setup
Connect the NEPTUN chrom via USB cable with your PC.

Software Integration
Software integration of the NEPTUN chrom is done via the host connection. Usually
this is established by a virtual COM port connection via the USB host port.
Alternatively, a DESKO swipe reader API (HIDAPI) or a keyboard emulation is also
available.
DESKO is able to provide appropriate software packages for the operating systems
Microsoft Windows, Linux and Android.
Please contact support@desko.com for further information.
5.1
Virtual Serial Connection
For using the DESKO NEPTUN chrom via a virtual serial port, it is necessary to install
the DESKO VCOM software package. Please refer to the Quick Installation Guide, which
is shipped with the device, for more information.
This software generates a virtual COM port on the system, which can be used as a
standard COM port. As soon as the generated virtual COM port is opened by an
application, the NEPTUN chrom is ready for operation. In this status, the OCR and MSR
data will be sent to the generated virtual COM port. Please refer to the Quick
Installation Guide for the protocol description.
5.2
Connecting via HIDAPI
To get access to all features of the NEPTUN chrom (besides the standard keyboard
features) it needs to be addressed via the HIDAPI. This HIDAPI is included in the device
SDK, which provides drivers for several operating systems as well as libraries and
sample applications for C/C++, Java and .Net.
5.3
Keyboard Emulation
Optionally the scanned OCR and MSR data can be sent as keyboard data to the system.
In this case, no additional software has to be installed on the system.
Hardware Integration
The standard host connection is established via the USB interface. The NEPTUN chrom
is USB-bus powered and does not need an additional power supply.
Optionally an auxiliary RS232 port is available for connecting an additional serial
device (e.g. a barcode scanner).

Usage of the NEPTUN chrom
As soon as the NEPTUN chrom is connected to a PC, the device is ready to read OCR
and MSR data from various documents.
The NEPTUN chrom provides the OCR and MSR scan functionality in only one slot. To
read a document, the medium (e.g. credit card) should be pulled through the swipe
slot with moderate and constant speed. It is possible to swipe in both directions.
7.1
Usage of the OCR / MSR Reader
7.1.1 Reading an OCR Document
The implemented OCR scanner supports a bidirectional swipe. To read an OCR
document, the medium (e.g. passport) should be pulled through the swipe slot with
moderate and constant speed.
Please note that the OCR information always has to face towards you in order to be
read.

The integrated 3-track bidirectional magnetic stripe reader is able to read all
magnetic stripe data encoded according to ISO 7811/2-5. This functionality allows
the handling of documents such as CUTE sign-on cards and all credit, frequent flyer
and employee travel cards.
Please note that the magnetic stripe always has to face towards you in order to be
read.
