The USB interface uses TCP/IP networking over USB as the protocol. This allows you to connect to a reader as

if it was a normal network. So all the usual services, such as telnet and FTP are available.

Any device hardware when it’s rst connected to a PC via USB requires a device driver. The device driver

is provided by Microsoft (Windows XP SP2). No USB device drivers are available instantly. They have to be

installed and require a certain amount of conguration. The driver must be installed on the PC before Windows

can use the connection. The device driver requires a conguration le for the reader which is installed on the

PC via the ReaderManager.

When you install a new reader for the rst time it can take from 1 to 5 minutes to create a network connection

before the ReaderManager is able to recognize a new reader.

Since every reader has a unique serial number, Windows treats it as a new device and you will have to install

the device driver again for each new reader that you connect to the same PC. Since the device driver les are

already on the reader, Windows can search for the driver automatically.

In order to connect to a reader via USB for the rst time follow the steps below:
