MSTRP-5050 (MC 5/6)
Plug the reader back in.
Wait for the network connection to re-appear and become Connected.
Connect to the reader via the ReaderManager.
Another solution is to try another USB port as USB ports can fail on PCs. As with the previous case:
Unplug the reader.
Wait for the network connection to be removed.
Plug the reader into another USB port.
Windows networking can take some time (a few minutes) to create the network connection if the reader has
been rapidly plugged and unplugged. If the reader network device does not disappear within 5 minutes of being
disconnected, reboot your PC as then there is a problem with Windows Networking or the USB port has locked
up.
You should NEVER power cycle a reader because you are having problems with your PC or with Windows.
Power cycling can cause more problems with Windows and Windows networking.
Most USB problems are usually caused by Windows networking delays and Windows networking problems.
Frequent unplugging of the USB cable will create even more problems.
Step 4: Go to the section 4.4.3.

Step 1: Open the ReaderManager.
ReaderManager will automatically detect all readers on the local network. When a reader is connected for the
rst time to a network using an Ethernet cable or a host computer using a USB cable, the reader is identied by
its Model Name-Serial Number (recommended to keep).
Users can replace or add additional information to the Model Name-Serial Number such as a physical location
or customer ID number.
Subsequently when a user starts using the reader the new name will appear on the list of readers in the
Connection menu.
Tip: If you want to use the new name immediately, simply power cycle the reader to view the new name on
the Connection menu list.
