MSTRP Tunnel Readers
You can verify that the reader is connected by looking at the Network Connections window. You can open this window
from several places: Start -> Settings -> Control Panel -> Network Connections or My Computer -> Other Places -> My
Network Places -> View Network Connections.
Step 2:
Make sure that the USB and power cables are plugged in. Turn on the reader. The Found New
Hardware
dialog box will be displayed.
When a reader is connected to a host computer for the rst time using a USB, there are a few steps to go through before
the ReaderManager is able to identify the new reader:
In Found New Hardware Wizard tick Yes, this time only to search for software and press Next.
In What do you want wizard to do? tick Install the software automatically and press Next.
Wait while the wizard installs the Linux USB Ethernet/RNDIS Gadget device driver. Ignore other message and
press Continue anyway.
Press Finish.
Step 3: Wait until you see a new entry appears in the Network Connections list called “Linux USB Ethernet/
RNDIS Gadget”. This is the reader.
If it says Acquiring IP address then you must wait until it says Connected.
The reader’s network connection will say:
Local Area Connection X
Connected
Linux USB Ethernet/RNDIS Gadget
Once it says Connected in the Network Connections window (Windows XP SP2) you can go to Step 4.
If it says Disabled or Broken, then click right and select Repair or Enable to try and x the connection.
If this fails, disconnect the reader, reboot your PC and repeat from Step 1.
The reader can disconnect in situations where it has been repeatedly plugged and unplugged before Windows has had
a chance to properly and completely process the network connection. In this situation it is possible for the reader to
appear on the network for about a minute before it is disconnected by the Windows networking system.
The solution is:
Unplug the reader.
Wait for the reader’s network connection to be removed from the Network Connections window.
Once the network connection has been removed:
Plug the reader back in.
Wait for the network connection to re-appear and become Connected.
Connect to the reader via the ReaderManager.
