• Where can I find drivers for Thales document readers?

  Drivers to support Thales (formerly Gemalto) document readers and biometric scanners are typically available through the Thales Support Portal or the specific partner resource center provided with your hardware purchase.

• What does the red LED indicate on my Thales satellite unit?

  A solid red LED on the System or Satellite indicator typically signifies a minor fault, while a flashing red LED indicates a critical fault. Consult the specific user manual or the management portal alerts page for detailed diagnostics.
