Loading software on the OPN2002
Both OS and application files for the OPN2002 can be loaded by using a small PC
application called Appload, which can be download from our web site.
The OPN2002 uses a different Operating System version than the OPR3301. Before
trying to load new software on the OPN2002, make sure the file contains the following
3-letter code indicating it’s an OPN2002 file.

* It is possible to load an OPR3301 application file (software code: RFJ) on the
OPN2002, because the hardware is mostly the same. The only main differences are
the presence of an USB connector and RS232 cradle contacts on OPN2002.
Loading new software on the OPN2002 is fastest using the mini-USB cable. To be able
to communicate with an OPN2002 terminal using USB, you will need to have its USB
driver installed on your PC. This driver can be found on our web site on the 'Service
and Support' page.
www.opticon.com/SERVICE-AND-SUPPORT.aspx
The driver can be found in the section called 'Software' and then selecting the
OPN2002.
Two drivers can be downloaded for the OPN200x:
optousb32.exe
USB driver for Windows 2000, Windows XP (32bit),
Windows Vista (32bit), Windows 7 (32 bit)
optousb64.exe
USB driver for Windows XP (64bit), Windows Vista (64bit),
Windows 7 (64 bit)
After installing the USB driver, you can connect your OPN2002 to an USB port using a
mini-USB cable. Windows will then automatically install a virtual COM port on your PC,
which can be selected in Appload (and other RS232 monitoring applications).
On the following page instruction will be given on how to load software on the
OPN2002 using either the mini-USB cable or the CRD220 cradle
