By default Syris RD200-M1-G v01.55 run in keyboard mode. It will send to text when card detected.
You need to upgrade the firmware for support some new card and change it to com mode. At com mode, you can communication with card to utilize it.
DO THIS IN WINDOWS TO UPDATE FIRMWARE:
All documentation link provided by syris is https://syris.com/ftp/index.php. Goto SYRIS_RFID_DVD -> RD200_300 -> USB_ReaderTools
_V0291.rar (All tools and docs), download and extract.
Inside RD200_RD300_SDK_V0193 -> UtilityTools -> FirmwareFiles, there are 2 directory v1 and v2:
- RD200(v1)
- RD200_M1_COM_V0271_20230901.SYB
- RD200_M1_V0271_20230901.SYB
- RD200(v2)
- RD200-M1-V2_V0290_20250603.SYB
- RD200-M1-V2_V0291_20251029_01.SYB
- RD200-M1-V2-COM_V0283_20240216.SYB
Run USB_ReaderTools_V0291_20251029.exe, go to tab firmware and use RD200_M1_COM_V0271_20230901.SYB to RD200-M1-G v01.55. If you choose wrong firmware, the tools will warn you "firmware type error". upgrade it, wait until finish.
After firmware upgraded, you need to change Auto Usb to Com, e.g. com3,(RD200-M1 0155) 12110056 -> (RD200-M1 0271) 12110056
Windows part is done.
This is Debian before upgrade and change to com mode
