My smart card is detected, but does not work.

chip-end first. See diagram (section

I can see the Dell Smart Card Keyboard in Windows device manager,
but I cannot communicate with the smart card.

If this occurs, it is possible that the Microsoft Smart Card Resource Manager did
not start. Type net start scardsvr.exe in the run dialog box. Once the Smart
Card Resource Manager has been successfully started, the smart cards should
be accessible. On the next boot, the resource manager should auto start.

The Dell Smart Card Keyboard LED goes solid green for a few seconds
when I insert a smart card and then goes off again.

This is normal Operating System behavior. Please refer to Usage
section of the User's Guide regarding LED indicators.

The Dell Smart Card Keyboard is not functioning under
Windows NT4.0.

Windows NT4.0 does not support USB interfaces (see

System Requirements

).
