following requirements:

    

 

Windows 7 or newer 

 

64-bit Operating System 

 

2 GB RAM

Setting up your logical access reader is fast and simple. All you need to do is take the reader out of the 

packaging and plug it into the USB drive on your computer. The reader will appear to the computer as a USB 
HID device with two endpoints, a keyboard endpoint and a generic command/response endpoint. The generic 
endpoint is used to facilitate communication between the reader and the included configuration software tool. 
The Keyboard endpoint is primarily used by your password entry screens in your everyday work environment 
(email, PC log in, etc…). For instance, when logging into your email account, instead of typing in the password,
