Program Details
When the program is run for the first time, there are a few items that need to be set up.
1. Select the correct serial port. This is chosen under the “Reader Serial” field
when the program begins. The number will depend on which serial port your
reader is connected to. If the program does not detect a functioning reader
on the port selected, an error message will result. If this is the case, a
different serial port must be selected. The program will not continue until it
finds a reader connected to the selected serial port.
Choose
correct serial
port
2. To run the Demonstration program, select the Demo Program button. For
more information about the Utility Mode, see the extensive Online Help.
Click on
Demo
Program
Kovera Reader default address is 0 on power-up
The next step is to choose the “Tag Type”. The type of tag that will be used
must be highlighted for the Demonstration to work properly; otherwise the
reader might be unable to recognize a tag when it is presented.
The initial “Tag Type” selected is obtained from the reader and matches its
current configuration. If the same type of tag is always used, the “Tag Type”
should not change and does not need to be reconfigured each time the
program is restarted.

3. There are three different types of Demonstrations available in the demo
mode: promotion, loyalty, and ticketing. Select the demonstration type by
clicking one of the buttons. Follow the directions given on screen to complete
each demonstration. Not all tags support the ticketing demonstration. For
those tags, the demonstration button will be grayed out.
To close a window, or exit out of a selected Demonstration mode, click on
the upper right hand corner, or press the ESC key.
•
Promotion – this demonstrates how the system can be used for
product promotion. A user can present a product with a tag to earn
“points” toward a reward. After the user presents the tag in this
demonstration, a product website is brought up that includes more
information about the company and products that it sells along with
updated reward information.
The promotion demonstration can be customized with tailored text
and directed to specified web pages. Details about how to do this can
be accessed through the online help. It can be found under the Demo
help system’s page titled “Customizing the Demo Program”.
•
Loyalty – After a tag is presented, the user gets a message about
accumulated “points” and how to redeem them.
•
Ticketing – The ticketing mode will decrement the tag each time it is
used, the number of times that are left will be displayed. If the tag
needs to be recharged select the “Recharge next Ultralight tag”, and
the next time the tag is presented, it will be recharged with 32 uses.

Troubleshooting
The following is a list of error messages or unexpected functionality that may be
encountered, and how these issues can be addressed.
No response from reader.
Make sure the correct tag type is chosen in the main Demo screen (see step
2 under “Program Details” for more information).
Demonstration type grayed out.
The current tag type selected does not support the functionality that is
grayed out. For example, if the tag type doesn’t have decrement capability,
the ticketing mode will be grayed out for that tag.
Reader beeping.
One beep from the reader means an operation was completed successfully. If
there are two beeps then the operation was unsuccessful. An unsuccessful
reader operation may occur if:
-The tag was presented in rapid succession
-The incorrect tag is selected under “tag type”
Wrong demonstration type selected, need to return to main setup page.
In order to return to the main demo page, close the window that is currently
running. To do this, click on the upper right hand corner, or press the ESC
key.
Reader and/or program not responding.
Reset the reader by disconnecting from the computer and waiting a short
period before reconnecting. Close the program and restart by clicking on the
shortcut icon, or selecting it under the program menu.
Error message: There does not seem to be a USB Virtual Com Port Installed. You
will need to install the USB COM port driver to communicate with Kovera readers.
This message may also appear if the drivers are installed but no Kovera reader is
connected.
The program has detected that there is no reader connected to the
computer. A Kovera reader must be connected in order to run the Demo
program.
Error message: There does not seem to be a functioning reader on COM(X) at
address N.
The program has not detected a reader on the port(X) selected; make sure
the reader is connected to the selected port. Also make sure that the reader
address has been set correctly to 0, the correct port has been selected, and
the cable is properly functioning. The power on reset default address is 0.

If the error message after the program tries to confirm the reader type is in
this format: “Error: FDI_XXXX Error”, then Windows is reporting that a
resource needed to support communication with the reader has failed. The
system may be running low on memory or may have been corrupted in a way
that the communication library cannot analyze.
Error Message: Failed to open serial port
There was an error in opening the serial port. The selected port might
already be open, doesn’t exist, or might have a corrupt driver. Refer to the
driver documentation for more help.
Error message: Tags parity doesn’t match selected type.
Make sure that correct tag type is chosen in the main Demo screen
Error message: Card has not successfully recharged. Please try again.
When attempting to recharge the card, this message will be displayed if the
recharge was not successful. The recharge functionality is for the Mifare
Ultralight cards. The K14T1/K14T2 cannot be recharged; new cards must be
purchased after they are depleted.
