摘要

The server has a holder for several smart cards, a communications interface to a data network, a smart card functional device and a controller that receives a selection signal from a router of a local unit and a data signal from a data memory via the interface, outputs a switch signal to carry out at least one function on at least one smart card and outputs a connection signal to the interface to send a smart card data signal to the local unit. The server has a smart card holder (21) for several smart cards (211), a communications interface (23) to a data network (6), a smart card functional device (22) and a controller (24) that receives a selection signal from a router (42) of a local unit (4) and a data signal from a data memory via the communications interface, outputs a switch signal to carry out at least one function on at least one smart card and outputs a connection signal to the interface to send a smart card data signal to the local unit. Independent claims are also included for the following: a method of establishing a communications link especially a mobile communications connection.
