Connect the Reader to a Host Computer
The steps you must follow to interface the Reader with your system depend upon the software
package you choose to use. Contact Matrics for more information.
Regardless of the software you use to do it, you must change your Readers’ factory-assigned xFF
address to a unique address for communicating with your host computer.
Power On (and Off) the Reader
1. Connect a 24V DC power supply (such as PN: PWR-001, available from Matrics) to the Reader’s
Unit Power port.
2. To power on the system, insert the plug end of the power supply into a power outlet. The
Power/Activity LED on the Reader should light red, indicating that the Reader is powered on and
the system is live.
