3.4.2.2 CDC interface
Virtual serial mode using the Windows CDC driver
This option assigns a COM port and the device communicates as a virtual serial device. Due to the
nature of CDC serial port drivers, the COM port disappears if the unit is unplugged.
3.4.2.3 HID interface
Access IS recommend the use of the HID interface for reliability. A HID interface recovers properly
in the event of accidental disconnects or system power fluctuations; a CDC interface may not
recover in these situations.
HID interface using the Access driver (Windows only)
The Access Serial Ports Service driver is fully configurable and outputs data in virtual serial or
virtual keyboard. The output can be parsed and reformatted. The serial port is permanent and does
not disappear if you unplug or hot swap the unit. This is one-way communication and the only
command that you can send to the device is
to page 22 for more information.
HID interface without the Access driver
This method is only suitable is you are familiar with HID programming.
It is possible to communicate directly with the LSR116 using the operating system's built-in HID
drivers. In this instance, HID reports, exactly 64 bytes in length, are sent between the host and the
LSR116.
The implementation of this driver and the method of interaction will depend on the version of the
host operating system. You should refer to the HID programming guide for the operating system you
are using.
Refer to HID reports on page 26 for the details of the HID reports used with the LSR116.
Serial installation
3.5
A serial LSR116 communicates directly with the COM port and does not require any additional
drivers to be loaded.
1. Switch off the computer.
2. Connect the serial cable to a COM port on the computer and finger-tighten the two thumbscrews
to secure the connector to the port.
3. If using a USB power injector cable, plug the injector cable into the coaxial power connector on
the Y-cable and then plug the USB connector into a powered USB port on the computer.
If using an Access-supplied power supply, plug the power cable into the coaxial power
connector on the Y-cable and then connect the external power supply to an AC outlet.
4. Once the device is connected, switch on the computer.
USB installation
3.6
Note: If you intend to use the Access driver, ensure that you install the driver before you connect
the LSR116 to the computer.
3.6.1 Driverless keyboard output
There is no additional driver required for this mode. Connect the USB cable from the LSR116 to a
USB port on the computer.
