READER INSTALLATION
Install the Reader as follows:
1.
Connect the serial cable from the Reader to the adapter cable and the adapter cable to the
PC serial port.
2.
Turn on power to the computer.
3.
Open Procomm, HyperTerminal (described below), or other communication program.
4.
Connect the power adapter 3.5 mm Mono plug to the Reader jack, and plug the adapter
into a 120 VAC wall socket. The green LED on the Reader should light; if it does not,
recheck the cable connections, check switches B7 and B8, and if necessary, notify
technical personnel.
5.
Ensure the switch settings on the Reader match those on the PC communications port. If,
for example, the values set in the Reader switches are baud rate 9600, parity Even, 7 data
bits, and 1 stop bit, the PC port should match these values (see HyperTerminal Setup
below).
