RUNNING THE UTILITY
The reader is shipped from the factory with the “default confi guration”
programmed. The default confi guration has the least restrictive settings, thus
making it able to read all data of a standard encoded magnetic stripe card.
See the default settings table for details.
The confi guration software can be downloaded from the ID TECH website.
From the website, download the Confi guration Utility ZIP fi le into a tempo-
rary fi le folder on your local hard drive. Double click the downloaded self
extracting fi le and follow the screen prompts to expand the Zip fi le and run
the SETUP.EXE application.
The install wizard creates two new folders on the C: Drive. The new folder
“IDTECH” and a sub-folder “MagSwipe Confi guration Utility” are created in
the “Program Files” folder.
At the fi nish of the installation process, an “MagSwipe Confi guration Util-
ity” menu is installed in the programs folder of the Start menu. Connect
the reader to the host computer and ensure it is getting power. Point to the
“MagSwipe Confi guration Utility” menu and click on the IDT icon.
The utility will start at the Home Page with a menu on the left border. Point
and click on the menu items as needed. For information on using the utility,
point and click the HELP menu selection.
