Reading Tags with the Indy Development Platform
1) Setup connections
a) Connect the ANT 0 RF port on the Indy Development Platform to the Mini-Guardrail antenna using the RF
cable.
b) Connect the serial cable to the USB-to-serial adapter and plug the USB end into a host computer. Attach the
serial end to the Indy Development Platform console serial port.
c) Apply power using the DC power adapter and power cord.
d) Windows 7 computers will automatically discover the Indy hardware and install the device driver. If the
computer is using Windows XP or the driver installation fails, install the driver included on the CD-ROM. A
demonstration of the installation process can be viewed at
