Reader update procedure
To update the firmware of your reader, double left-click on the S-ID icon on your desktop.
Be sure that your reader is switched off and connected to the computer through
the provided USB cable. Click on CONNECT in the main window, as indicated in
Figure 2.1.
Select “Reader Management” and click on “Ok”. A confirmation that the reader
is switched off and connected via USB cable will be requested. If this is the
case, click on “OK”.
If a new firmware is available on the web, the
software will automatically suggest an update of the reader. Click on “Yes” to
start with the update.
The new firmware will be transferred to the
reader. A message box will appear indicating to disconnect the reader from the
PC. Unplug the USB cable from the reader to start the firmware update on the
device and click “OK”.
Note that the firmware update will start only if the reader has enough charge
to switch it on.
Figure 2.6 shows an example of one reader’s display while the firmware is
being updated. Wait until the update is concluded and the device will be ready
to be used.
