Reader Set-Up Basics
Plug the connector into the workstation’s (or available on any peripheral) open RS-232, USB or
Ethernet plug.
Place the device next to the monitor, beside the workstation, or where appropriate.
The workstation should detect new hardware for USB connections. Verify the workstation recognizes
this connection using Device Manager’.
Verify the correct COM port for RS-232 DB9 connections using ‘Device Manager.’
When the software is installed, it should recognize these connections in order to configure the
appropriate device. Once the device is configured and written to its flash memory, these settings will
not have to be configured again.
LED Beeper
The desktop, USB dongle, wall mount, and bare board (OEM) model readers are all equipped with
a light up LED on the front cover. The LED is configurable through the utility software (See LED and
Beeper functions in the Software section) to allow the device to produce a beep upon light up of the
LED when a credential is detected by the reader.
