3.4.6 USB CONNECTION

The uPASS Reach reader features an USB interface for service and installation
purposes. The USB connector (Type B) is accessible behind the service cover. The
reader will automatically detect when the USB cable is connected.
The USB interface can be used to configure the reader using the UHFTOOL software
(as described in chapter 7).
The USB interface can also be used to communicate with the TRANSIT compatible
processor. For example upgrade the firmware in the TRANSIT compatible processor
using the PICLoad software. Ensure that DIP-switch SW1-1 is in the correct position.

automatically via Windows update when the uPASS Reach reader is connected to
your PC via the USB cable. Follow the driver installation wizard. If you do not see the
Windows update pop-up, you can manually install the driver. To manually install,
you need to go to FTDI's website at
download the VCP (Virtual Com Port) drivers for your operating system. Drivers for
