2 How the VTAP50 works
With the VTAP50 OEM module connected to a PC, simply tap your smartphone against the
VTAP50. 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 VTAP50. The unit comes with default values, so that you can test
before you begin customising any settings.
When the VTAP50 OEM module is connected to a computer it appears as a generic mass
storage device (like a memory stick). To configure your VTAP50, you simply edit or create text
files. These will be read automatically, and control the operation of the VTAP50. Consult the
VTAP100 Basic Configuration Guide for more detail. The firmware on a VTAP50 functions in
exactly the same way as that used on a VTAP100, so you can refer to VTAP100 configuration
guides.
By default the VTAP50 is fully upgradable in the field. However, the VTAP50 can be locked in
software or hardware, before deploying the unit, so that operation is no longer easily
changed.
