The installer does not create a shortcut on the desktop.
The software must be installed from the CD.
Remove the assembly of reader, power supply, and
serial-port cable from the case. Take the power-supply
unit, remove the black insert from the wall adapter, and
install the power plug that works in your location. Do not
yet plug the AC adapter into a power outlet. Do not yet
connect the serial-port cable to the PC. Make sure that
the serial port is enabled.
EV Kit Operation
Connect the serial-port cable to the serial port (e.g.,
COM1) on your computer. Plug the AC adapter into a
functioning wall outlet. Start the evaluation software:

This displays a greeting as in
Figure 2, which after a few seconds is replaced by the
evaluation software’s GUI.
If communication with the reader is established, the
reader type, firmware revision, port number, and data
rate are displayed at the top of the window (Figure 3). If
communication with the reader was not established (or
was lost) for any reason, the text “Searching for a reader”
appears instead. In the latter case, verify the setup of the
COM port and the connections to the serial port and wall
outlet, and power-cycle the reader.
Now refer to the
MAX66xx0K_Evaluation_Guide
in the
Documentation folder on the CD and the sections that
apply to the RFID keys to be evaluated. To communicate
with an RFID key, the key must be placed on the location
marked “Place Key Fob Here.”

A copy of the latest firmware from the time when the EV
kit was assembled is found on the CD in folder Firmware_
Utilities. Look for a file name similar to
lotis-D523.fmw.
The code “D523” in this example identifies the firmware
revision. Newer firmware has a higher number and a
newer date stamp.
Before new firmware can be installed in the reader, it is
necessary to install the Lotis Downloader on the PC. To
install the downloader, navigate to the Lotis_Downloader
folder in the Firmware_Utilities folder. Then double-
click the
setup.exe
file and follow the instructions on
the screen. For more guidance, refer to
Section 3:
Smart Label Communicator Software Installation
in the
INfinity_110_Eval_Kit_Users_Guide.
After the down-
loader is successfully installed, follow the

Firmware
instructions in
Section 6: Configuration and
Maintenance
in the
INfinity_110_Eval_Kit_Users_
Guide.

Development Resources
The primary document for development purposes is the
INfinity_110_Prot_Ref_Gd_MAX66xx0K.
This document
references a supplemental document, the
INfinity_110_
Prot_Ref_Gd.
Both documents are found in the
Documentation folder on the CD.

Sirit INfinity Reader Configuration
The Sirit INfinity 110 reader operates on firmware that exe-
cutes the commands described in the
INfinity_110_Prot_
Ref_Gd_MAX66xx0K.
The
MAX66xx0K_Evaluation_
Guide
and
INfinity_110_Prot_Ref_Gd_MAX66xx0K
specify the firmware revision they require. To work with
evaluation software that was created after the EV kit was
purchased, it could be necessary to upgrade the firm-
ware in the reader.
