When I plug my reader into my PC, the intelliRock software does not see the Reader.

When the intelliRock 1.6.0097 Software is loaded onto your PC, the USB drivers for both the Reader and the Wireless base station are not installed.

  3. Open the Windows Device manager.

  4. You will expect to see an entry in the Windows Device manager under OTHER devices called USB to Serial and it will have a yellow mark on it. To confirm that this is the Reader, unplug the USB cable, the entry should go away. Plug the USB cable back into the PC.
