Specification Notice 2 BUSY POWER Slot for Token or Card Power Lamp (green) Access Lamp (red) 1 Token 1 CD-ROM 3 1.Device Driver Installation Plug the picochet to USB port of PC. Due to some reason not known yet, there are some cases where communication between the picochet and PC does not work well when there is a hub placed between the picochet and the root hub. So place the unit directly to the root hub that’s placed in the main case of PC. Consult the PC manual for the location of USB root hub in your PC. Once the picochet is plugged into USB port, follow the steps below to install the appropriate device driver. In a short while, screen message claiming ‘New device is detected’ will be displayed as shown below. Click on "Next" button. 4 Click on the "Next" button. When a screen message shown below appears, insert the floppy diskette(Disk1) containing USB Device Driver into the floppy disk drive, select Floppy disk drives, and then click on the "Next" button. Click on the "Next" button, when another message shown below appears. 5 Click on the "Finish" button, when another message shown below appears on your PC monitor. At this time, if PC recognizes the picochet properly, green "Power" LED of the picochet will be lit, and the device driver installation for the Reader/Writer for the picochet is finished. Cases where the picochet is not recognized by PC Even if the picochet is properly connected to USB port of PC, the cases where Add New Hardware Wizard does not get executed, are usually due to the fact that USB port is not configured to be usable in PC configuration. Follow the steps below to make USB port usable. Select Control Panel by selecting Settings from Start menu. Select System from Control Panel. As shown below, select Device Manager folder and click on "View by devices type" which is just below folder names. And then, double-click on the item 6 called Universal Serial Bus Controllers. Below Universal Serial Bus Controllers, USB Universal Host Controller and USB Root Hub will appear. Double-click on USB Universal Host Controller and another screen that is shown below appears. Choose a general folder and there’ll be device usage at the bottom. On the device usage, make certain that it’s left blank next to ‘Disable in this hardware profile’ and check the next to ‘Exists in all hardware profiles’ as shown. And then select OK. After PC is restarted, USB port becomes usable. 7 2.Re-Installation of the picochet device driver Steps to re-install the picochet new device driver In case where the current version of driver is needed, save files that are directed to delete, in some other folder, instead of just deleting them Delete C:¥Windows¥INF¥Other¥Hitachi Maxell, Ltd.Usbmax.inf Delete C:¥Windows¥SYSTEM32¥DRIVERS¥Usbmax.sys Select Run on the Start menu, and then enter ‘regedit’ to open registry editor. Delete HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE¥Enum¥USB¥VID_0858&PID_1101 Delete HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE¥System¥CurrentControlSet¥Services ¥Class¥Usbmax Empty out Recycle Bin Restart the PC Installation screen appears on PC monitor and if you select a folder where the driver was installed previously, the installation of the driver is initiated. Follow the instruction displayed on the PC monitor, while installing. If device manager in system folder from Control Panel displays Tag IC R/W unit, device driver installation is completed without any errors. However, if Tag IC R/W unit is not displayed, repeat the steps from the beginning until Tag IC R/W unit is displayed. This concludes installation of Device Driver. 3.Installation of the picochet Utility Software Insert a diskette labeled ‘Disk 1’ into floppy disk drive, and double-click on ‘setup.exe’, wait a while. Click on "Next" button when screen shown below appears. 8 Click on "Yes(Y)" button when screen shown below appears. Select a folder to install the software, and click on "Next" button after making the selection, when screen shown below appears on the monitor. Click on "Next" button when screen shown below appears. 9 After a little while, a screen asking to insert Disk 2 appears, Insert the diskette (Disk2) into floppy disk drive and click on "OK" button. Click on "Finish" button when screen shown below appears. This concludes the installation of the picochet utility software. Remove diskette from floppy disk drive and restart the system. When the system is restarted, an icon will be added in Task Bar as shown below. Depending upon the state of picochet, shape of icon will change accordingly. When the picochet is not connected to PC 10 When the picochet is connected to PC, however, any Token/Card is not placed into the picochet When the picochet is connected to PC, and tag is placed into the picochet When the picochet is connected to PC, and Token/Card is in a edit state, or in a state where PC just woke up from sleep mode 4.Uninstallation of the picochet Utility Software Select Control Panel by selecting Settings from Start menu. Once a screen shown below appeared, you double-click on ‘Add/Remove Programs’ from Control Panel. 11 Select "picochet" by clicking on it and proceed to clicking on "Add/Remove" button, and then uninstalling the software starts right away. After uninstalling the software, press "OK" button to close "Add/Remove programs properties" screen. Restart the PC. This concludes uninstalling the utility software. 12 5.How to use the picochet utility software Access the Internet Insert the Token/Card that comes with the software into the picochet, and the default Internet browser software is executed and automatically access the home page for downloading software from Maxell. 13 http://www.maxell.co.jp/products/industrial/rfid/download.html If you are a member of the Internet…
