2. PLUS System Installation
This section of the PLUS System Manual describes the setup and configuration steps that are required
for a PLUS installation. Most of the setup steps are the same for a small or large installation, but
large installations a degree of planning and testing that can be minimized in smaller installations.
Development Kit Users: The information in this manual will enable first-time users to set up and
configure small-scale systems for evaluation and demonstration. Hardware connections and
placement for a small-scale system are shown in Figure 2-1: Hardware Connections for a Four-
Reader System and Figure 2-2: Hardware Placement for a Four-Reader System.
Please read through the entire installation process before beginning setup of your system.
