2   How the VTAP100 works

With the VTAP100-USB connected to a PC, simply tap your smartphone against the 

VTAP100. Your mobile NFC pass will be read and data sent to the connected PC.

Of course, the data can only be read if your phone contains a mobile NFC pass, which has 

been issued in connection with the Merchant ID(s)/Collector ID(s) and key(s) that are known 

to the VTAP100. The unit comes with default values, so that you can test 

Default operation 

on factory settings

 before you begin customising any settings.

When the VTAP100-USB is connected to a computer it appears as a generic mass storage 

device (like a memory stick). To configure your VTAP100, you simply edit or create text files. 

These will be read automatically, and control the operation of the VTAP100. There is 

information in 

Start reading your own passes

 to take the first steps towards reading your 

own passes. Consult the VTAP Configuration Guide for more detail.

By default the VTAP100 is fully upgradable in the field. However, the VTAP100  can be locked 

in software or hardware, before deploying the unit, so that operation is no longer easily 

changed.
