Connect Tab
The connect tab offers the various ways a device can connect to the configuration utility. The
different selections allow the user to choose the connection type for the specific logical protocol of
their reader.
Note: Only one connection type at a time will be shown.
USB: Make this selection if the connected device has a USB logical protocol. The utility will then
proceed to scan any available USB bus for connected devices.

COM port logical protocols to connect to the utility. This section scans for RS-232, physical COM
port devices, virtual COM port devices, including USB, CDC and PCMCIA devices.
When making this selection, the lower and upper limits of the COM ports to scan need to be
set. The port values range from 1 to 256. The default COM ports are set at 1 thru 8.
Default 1..8: This option sets the COM port values back to the default of 1 and 8.
