MSTRP Tunnel Readers
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 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 identied 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.
To change a reader network name:
From the Tools menu, select
System then Conguration System. The window shown below will be displayed.
