Installing the USB Drivers
At first connection to the PC USB port, Windows® will detect the RFID-READER
PL and will ask to install a driver. The USB drivers are located into the USB
Drivers folder on the product CD-ROM or download the drivers in following
address:
http://www.ftdichip.com/Drivers/VCP.htm
Two drivers will be installed:
- The USB device driver.
- The virtual COM port (VCP) driver. The VCP driver emulates a standard PC COM
port.
After installation of the drivers, power up and connect your RFID-READER PL to
a spare USB port on your PC to launch the Windows Found New hardware
Wizard
- Select “No, not this time” and click next to proceed with the installation.
- Select “Install from a list or specific location (Advanced)” and then click “Next”.
- Select “Search for the best driver in these locations” and click the Browse button
to select the USB Drivers folder on the Product CR-Rom. Then click “Next” to
proceed.
- Windows should then display a message indicating that the installation was
successful.
Click Finish to complete the installation.
Repeat the procedure above when Windows® asks for drivers again (virtual com
port).
