HEXAPAD 10 BC USB
When the reader is turned on, the following devices will be created in the Operating System:
● HID class type keyboard;
● Serial port, (COM&LPT on Windows), (CDC on Linux, Android, and Mac)
Since the HID class keyboard type will be used by the reader for keyboard emulation when sending the
reading results in Autonomous Mode, the Serial Port will serve as communication and configuration in
Autonomous and Transparent modes.
7.1.1 Identifying serial port (Windows)
After turning on the reader, go to the "Control Panel" or with the "Windows + X" key open the "Device
Manager". In "Ports (COM and LPT)", a virtual serial communication port should appear 4s after the
time the reader is connected, in addition to a new HID Keyboard type device in "Keyboards".
The images below show that the reader has been recognized by the Operating System and is ready to
work.
