![18.01.2011 YSOFT SAFEQ USB CARD READER V2 – ADMINISTRATOR’S GUID E V1.2 [EN] 8/22 3 INSTALLATION Following chapter displays how to mount USB reader v2 to device. The configuration could be different from type of device or vendor type. Other thing is that reader can’t be mounted only to device, because it can work as card reader for SafeQ Client application or Recharging point for SafeQ Credit Application, so mounting should be different according to usage. 3.1 MOUNTING OF THE READER MODULE The mounting kit (plastic holder) enables both right-handed and left-handed installation to the MFD. First prepare the components from the package: plastic holder screws reader module Prepare the plastic holder for the reader and remove the plastic “fork”. See the following pictures. Picture 2 - mounting part 1 When the plastic construction is prepared, it can be mounted with crews directly to the machine. See Picture 3 - Mounting kit on the device (when not many screws is possible to mount, use double side tape for better fix-ing)](https://usermanual.wiki/Y-Soft-a-s/0YX0MU02016/User-Guide-2068493-Page-8.png)

When reader is connected with holder to device, we have to remove reader from the mounting kit first. Use plastic “fork” or screw driver and push the reader part, with moving the reader upwards. Steps 1,2 and 3. Picture 5 - Removing procedure Reader should recover from the holder. Now we can unscrew the mounting kit from the device and disconnect the reader with following procedure.](https://usermanual.wiki/Y-Soft-a-s/0YX0MU02016/User-Guide-2068493-Page-10.png)
![18.01.2011 YSOFT SAFEQ USB CARD READER V2 – ADMINISTRATOR’S GUID E V1.2 [EN] 11/22 4 CONFIGURATION USB Card reader v2 can be configured only with software utility called “usbrdrtool”. The software runs in a system console. It is not a gui application, it is an application running in text mode. The usbrdrtool configuration tool is designed for USB readers v2 only! The usbrdrtool prerequisites: • Windows 2000 and higher • Linux kernel 2.4 or higher with glibc 2.3.2 or higher • Root access on Linux or possibility of sudo • usbfs support for libusb-0.12 library on Linux • usbrdrtool.exe (WIN32) or usbrdtool (Linux) exacutable binaries Note: The program requires "root" privileges under Linux, therefore it must be run as user root or sudo must be used. The purpose of the usbrdrtool is: • Show information about connected USB readers. • Set basic parameters of each reader such as USB reader class type, reader protocol, debug mode etc. • Card testing for verifying correct reader functionality and reading distance. • Display of card type during testing (with readers where applicable) • Update of USB reader normal firmware. • Update of USB reader service firmware. • Download log from USB reader for debugging purposes. 4.1 CONFIGURATION OF THE USB READER BY USBRDRTOOL Start the usbrdrtool under your operation system. When the program is run without any command line para-meter the following screen is shown. The main menu should appear with the selection you want to do. See example on the Picture 6 – Main menu. Picture 6 – Main menu Here can user select the following numbers depends on the intervention administrator wants to do.](https://usermanual.wiki/Y-Soft-a-s/0YX0MU02016/User-Guide-2068493-Page-11.png)

This includes USB mode, reader protocol, de-bug mode and other parameters. This option does not format data that are stored on USB reader in-ternal file system. Action 2 sets USB mode. This option is available onlyfor specific OEM USB reader type. Available usb modes are described in chapters 4.2.1 and 4.2.2.](https://usermanual.wiki/Y-Soft-a-s/0YX0MU02016/User-Guide-2068493-Page-12.png)
![18.01.2011 YSOFT SAFEQ USB CARD READER V2 – ADMINISTRATOR’S GUID E V1.2 [EN] 13/22 Action 3 sets card reader protocol. For some card readers it is necessary to enable support for another card types. Default card reader protocol is 0 which means that the reader default protocol will be used. If invalid card reader protocol is selected then the default protocol will be used. Note: Please see Y Soft Card Readers Protocols.pdf for more details about card reader protocols. This*. pdf file is always attached to the zip file with released FW of the USB reader. Action 4 enables debugging in case something goes wrong with the reader (for example hang-up or reboot or anything similar). Please note that debugging enabled causes wear-out of the internal flash so enable it only in cases when it is necessary! Action 5 enables or disables sound on the USB reader. Please note that there is no visual identifica-tion of successful card reading so users in some cases cannot guess what may be wrong if the card reader makes no sound Action 99 returns user to the previous menu. If any changes are made, the card reader is rebooted and the changes are applied. Action 100 returns user to the previous menu. If any changes in settings are made they are discarded and original settings remain. 4.2.1 USB KEYBOARD USB keyboard – Optional mode In this mode the USB reader works as a standard USB keyboard and can be switched to mode 3 only. NOTE: Typing of the keys is emulated as numeric keypad for 0-9 and A-F keys on standard EN/US keyboard layout. If the card number contains any other characters, they are ignored. Caps-lock and Num-lock are enabled and disabled if necessary and returned back to previous state after the card number is read. The "Shift", "Ctrl", "Alt" keys must not be held during card placing or it will collide with caps-lock and num-lock setting and incorrect card number will be read If a national keyboard layout is used (such as French, Russian, Chinese or other) a wrong card number will be entered. In such cases a switch to US/EN keyboard layout is necessary before placing the card.](https://usermanual.wiki/Y-Soft-a-s/0YX0MU02016/User-Guide-2068493-Page-13.png)
![18.01.2011 YSOFT SAFEQ USB CARD READER V2 – ADMINISTRATOR’S GUID E V1.2 [EN] 14/22 4.2.2 USB SERIAL USB serial – Optional mode This mode emulates operation of COM port and can be switched to mode 1 only. On Windows platform the installation of the USB reader in this mode requires usb2-reader.inf file. This file is distributed along with the usbrdrtool application and should be selected in the "new hardware" wizard after the USB reader plugging/reconfiguration. On Linux platform the driver for the serial port is installed automatically. Card testing in usbrdrtool application will work in this mod 4.3 ACTION 3 SETTING CARD READER PROTOCOL When you are on the main page select appropriate number of the reader. If you want to change card reader protocol for specified reader type (selected number), then you need to open the value 3 “Set card reader pro-tocol” Picture 8 - Selecting of card reader To choose appropriate reading protocol, please see Y Soft Card Readers Protocols.pdf for more details about card reader protocols.

See Picture 6 – Main menu. When testing window will appear you can test the reader by placing a card above the reader. Picture 11 - Test card window 1 Reader should display result from reading inside this window like example on the Picture 12 - Card testing re-sult. Picture 12 - Card testing result Multiple card readers can be tested at once. The screen automatically recognizes disconnected and newly connected readers so it may be used for mass-production card reader testing. If the connected reader supports card presence detection then the card number and type is visible only when the card is placed at the card reader. If the connected reader does not support card presence detection, a "tmout" is displayed. The card number will be automatically erased after a couple of seconds of inactivity. This feature is intended to make sure that the reader works properly and card numbers are read correctly every time a card is placed. Please note that displaying the correct card type depends on card reader used and card reader protocol set. Before using usbrdrtool as a tool for customer card testing please consult USB card reader testing guidelines. It is also possible to start the card testing screen directly by specifying -t command line option to the usbrdrtool application.](https://usermanual.wiki/Y-Soft-a-s/0YX0MU02016/User-Guide-2068493-Page-16.png)
