Smart Card Reader asks for PIN

A Dell Precision Workstation user reported that their Smart Card reader keyboards ask for a PIN number to unlock the card when it is inserted into the reader. Card readers from other manufacturers did not require a PIN for operation.

This issue occurred on Dell keyboard models SK-3205 and KB813.
