Linux operating system
No PC/SC application is available by default in the Linux operating system.
So there is no easy way to check the operation with the Prox-DU or Prox-SU reader.
The simplest way is to check that your PC/SC application is able to find the Prox-DU or the
Prox-Su reader. Refer to the “Prox–DU and Prox–SU reader name” paragraph for more
information.
Checking the installation for experienced user
However it is still possible to check the installation, but the user is required to have the
capabilty to build the “pcsc_scan” application. The next operations listed below are not
recommended for non-experienced user.

command)
