Here are the setup directions for both the Cipherlab 8000 and 8230 Portable Data Collectors

DO NOT PLUG IN THE DEVICE BEFORE FOLLOWING THESE DIRECTIONS.

1. Install CP210x virtual COM Driver. You may need to right click the application and "Run As Administrator".

2. Plug in the CipherLab 8000 and wait for the driver to load.

3. Check in either "Device and Printers" or "Printers and Faxes" for the virtual com port and note which port the driver has installed (e.g., COM5)

4. Run the installer for Forge_Batch_Install.

5. Once done installing, run the Forge AG application. By default this is installed in c:\CipherLab\Forge\Batch\8 Series folder.

6. In Forge AG, choose File->Open.

7. If you are setting up a Cipherlabs 8000, select "RetailEdgeSettings_8000.agx" and click Open. If you are setting up a Cipherlabs 8230, select "RetailEdgeSettings_8230.agx" and click Open.

8. In Forge AG, go to File->Preference and put a checkmark next to "Auto pre-load the last editing file".

9. In Forge AG, go to Transfer->Send Application. Select Download Via: RS232/IrDA/USB VCOM, set the COM port to the port found in Step 3 and set the baud rate 115200.

10. On the device, go to Utilities->Load Program.

11. Press the Ok button on the Download/Send Application screen in Forge AG to send the settings to the device.
