You will need to install the pcProxConfig tool to allow configuring the reader for Orange Pack ID, obtainable at https://www.rfideas.com/support/downloads

1. Unzip the file pcProxConfig-5.2.39.zip and install the executable on a Windows PC. After installation the pcProxConfig icon will appear on your desktop. When you start the utility, the screen should look as below. (The USB cable of the RF IDeas reader should be plugged into the USB port of the PC).

2. Connect the pcProx® Plus BLE Reader to the system via USB port.
3. Click Connect on the Icon toolbar menu.
4. The model number and VID/PID of the Reader will be displayed on the Device list.
   
   The Model number RDR-305×1BxU must be displayed in green font as shown, indicating that the reader is connected.

*Note: If Orange Pack ID does not show up, you may be using the wrong version of pcProxConfig, or you may have the wrong reader.
