Installation

1.Before plugging in the USB smart card reader/ writer, insert the installation CD.

2.When your computer launches the installation wizard, follow the steps on your screen to install ChefComm.

3.Plug in the USB smart card reader. Your computer should automatically install the drivers.

NOTE: If your computer does not automatically install the drivers, it may launch a hardware setup wizard. Follow the steps on your screen. If the smart card reader is not working when you begin using ChefComm, go to your device manager and update your smart card reader drivers, pointing your system to the installation CD. For additional help, contact your IT department or call 800-90TURBO ([phone]) and request ChefComm support.

NOTE: If your installation CD is an older version, it may not automatically launch the installation wizard. Follow the detailed Steps 1, 2, and 3 below.

Detailed Step 1: Expand the Installation Files

If the CD does not automatically launch the installation wizard, the setup files must be unzipped to ensure proper installation. Launching the files from a viewer will leave critical steps incomplete.

1.Open the contents of the CD in a file browser.

2.The installation CD contains two zipped files: one titled “ChefComm.Setup.zip,” and another titled “SCRx31_inst_English_V8.06.zip.” Copy these files to a local or network drive (e.g., C:\).

Figure 1: Extracting the Zipped Files

3.Right-click the file for expansion options (Figure 1) or use your preferred application.

NOTE: If no options to extract or expand are available, you may need to install additional software. For help, contact your IT department.

Detailed Step 2: Install ChefComm Pro

1.Expand the setup files (Step 1). A file titled ChefComm.Setup.msi will appear in the specified location.

2.Double-click the file ChefComm.Setup.msi to launch the installation wizard.

3.Follow the instructions provided in the installation wizard.

4.Once installation completes, open ChefComm by going to Start > Programs and selecting it.

NOTE: before installing ChefComm Pro, you may be required to install .NET Framework files. If so, you will receive a prompt and a link to retrieve the required files.

Detailed Step 3: Install the USB Smart Card

Reader Drivers

The drivers provided on the installation CD must be installed for the USB smart card reader/writer to function properly.

If you are operating Windows XP®:

1.After expanding the file (Step 1), a folder titled “SCR531 English” will appear in the specified location.

2.Double-click the folder to open it.

3.Double-click the file setup.exe and follow the instructions on your screen for installing the USB smart card reader/writer.

4.When the setup process is complete, restart your computer.

If you are operating Windows Vista®, you will probably need to configure your smart card reader drivers from your device manager (depending on security settings). For additional help, contact your IT department or call 800-90TURBO ([phone]) and request ChefComm support.
