In general, TKE smart cards created on a particular TKE release cannot be used on TKE workstations that are at prior release levels. There are exceptions. See Smart card usage for more information.
To initialize a TKE smart card, follow these steps:
- From the TKE Smart Card drop down menu, select Initialize and enroll TKE smart card option.
- At the prompt, insert a CA smart card (into smart card reader 1) belonging to the zone you want to enroll the TKE smart card in.
- Enter the first CA PIN on the PIN pad of smart card reader 1.
- Enter the second CA PIN on the PIN pad of smart card reader 1.Note: If you have entered the two PINs for the CA card, have not restarted SCUP, and have not removed the CA card, the two PINs (of the CA smart card) may not require reentry when you are initializing TKE smart cards. This feature is only used when initializing TKE smart cards. All other functions that require the CA PINs will require reentry every time.
- At the prompt, insert in smart card reader 2 a smart card to be
initialized as a TKE smart card.Figure 1. Initialize and enroll TKE smart card
- If the card is not empty, you will be asked to overwrite all of the data on the smart card.
- You will see screens indicating that the smart card is being initialized
and then the TKE smart card is being built.Figure 2. Initializing TKE smart card

- When complete, you will get a message that the TKE smart card was successfully created. The TKE smart card must be personalized before it can be used for storing keys and key parts.
