SR1251 to the GV-ASController. To form a chain connection, follow the steps below to define
each reader’s ID number by using the GV-Config Utility.

.
2. Run
GV-R/RK/DFR Config AP
.
3. Select the COM port that is connected to the reader and click
Open COM
. The red
square next to the COM port box should change to blue to indicate the COM port is
correct.
4. Select an
ID number
for the reader. The ID number ranges from 0 to 7.

the back of the reader.
