Hardware Installation
Locate an open USB or RS-232 port on the system. Plug
the connector into the PC’s (or available on any
peripheral) port.
You may place the Base Unit next to your monitor, beside
your PC, or where you feel it is appropriate.
pcProx Badge
(Passive badge users)
The pcProx badge is the same as your supplied passive
proximity badge for your facility access control system.
Since the pcProx reader is independent of bit length, it is
capable of reading any existing proximity badge format.
This is a passive badge and therefore requires no battery.
Energy required for the badge is supplied by the pcProx
Base Unit once the badge comes within range
(approximately 1-4 inches)
