Transponder Reader – CF-Card, Release 1.1
4.3 Installation to a Notebook or PDA
The CF-Card Transponder Reader is suitable for all Windows
operating systems.
The interface of the reader is comparable with the interface of a serial
interface card.
4.3.1 Notebook or Desktop PC
On operating systems which support plug & play, the card will be
detected automatically. Then only the delivered *.inf file must be
installed. If the card was installed successfully a new entry “com x”
appears in the device manager (for example “com 3”).
On operating systems which don’t support plug & play, the card must
be installed manually. After plug in the card and starting the system,
the serial interface must be configured manually. For more information
see the Windows help of the device manager.
4.3.2 PDA
On a PDA there is no installation of the CF-Card Reader necessary.
The card supports plug & play for an easy use. If the card was plugged
into the PDA a new COM port will be established automatically (for
example “com 3”). Via this COM port, the system can communicate to
the card via the serial protocol of the card.
To test the card, the BROOKS test tool must be installed on the PDA.
To install the test tool, start the setup.exe on the delivered CD-ROM
and follow the instructions on the screen.
System requirements for the installation of the test tool:
 ARM processor
 Operating system: PocketPC 2002
 A version of Microsoft ActiveSync must be installed on the host.
 The PDA must be connected to the host and a connection must be
established.
 The test tool is also available on request for other processor
types and OS systems.
