intelliRock® III– Operating Instructions Guide
Once the PC software is open, it will automatically attempt to connect to the intelliRock cloud
software. To enable this connectivity, ensure that the PC is connected to the internet. A warning
message will display if the PC is not connected to the internet.
Connecting the intelliRock III Reader to the PC
With the PC software open, and the reader powered on, connect the intelliRock III reader to the
PC. There are two options for connecting the reader to the PC to transfer data:
1. Bluetooth.
2. Cable. Use the micro-USB port located on the bottom of the reader (see Figure 1.7) to
connect the reader to a USB port on the PC that is running the intelliRock PC software.
As you select an option to connect the reader to the PC, keep in mind that data transfer will
occur much faster when the reader is connected to the PC via the micro-USB cable.
Connecting via Micro USB
Using the micro USB is the fastest way to transfer data from the reader to the PC software. To
do so:
1. Power on the intelliRock III reader.
2. Connect the intelliRock III reader to the PC. The micro USB port is located on the bottom
of the reader (Figure 1.7). Connect the other end of the cable to an available USB port on
the PC that is running the intelliRock PC software.
3. After connecting the reader to the PC, click on the Logger pull-down list, found in the
upper-left area of the PC software window, as shown in Figure 5.2.
Figure 5.2: The reader pull-down list on the PC software home screen.
The reader that is connected via the micro USB cable should appear in the list as a COMN
connected device, where “N” is the port number Windows assigned to the connection. In Figure
5.2, it appears as “COM3”.
The numbers that may also appear in this list represent the serial number of any readers the
software has detected via Bluetooth. As the example in Figure 5.2 shows, the software has
detected an intelliRock III reader through both, supported connection methods.
NOTE:
When using the PC software with Windows 10, no driver installation is required.
