Install WebLink Drivers (C5KC)

If you have loaded the DDU (Device Discovery Utility) onto your computer, the necessary USB drivers will already have been installed. You can plug the reader into the PC and the drivers will load automatically.

If you have not loaded the DDU onto your computer, the reader will be factory-configured to USB Drive Mode. When you first plug in the reader, it will act as a USB key. The drivers can be installed directly from the reader using the following steps.

1. Plug the reader into a USB port and wait for the AutoPlay dialog to appear.
2. Click the Open folder to view files and double-click the Double-Click Here.bat batch file.
3. At the command prompt, select option 1 and then type Enter. The VCOM and USBLAN drivers will be installed.

4. At the command prompt, select option 2 to install the WebLink and FTP drive shortcuts. WebLink and FTP drive shortcut icons will appear on the desktop.

5. When the drivers and shortcuts have been installed, unplug the reader from the USB port.
6. Re-plug the reader into the USB port and wait for the reader to reboot and enter read mode (LEDs ON).
7. Start WebLink. The default address for the reader is 192.168.100.1. If multiple readers are installed, they will be incremented automatically.
8. Double-click the FTP drive shortcut and log in with username: target and password: password.
9. The FTP drive is opened so you can access additional resources and installers in the Tools and Documentation folder.

You are now ready to use the C5KC with WebLink. If the reader will be used on another computer without the drivers installed, it can be placed back into USB Drive Mode from WebLink so the process described above can be repeated. See Enable USB Drive Mode for details.
