USB interface
USB device types (can enable/disable as required):
- USB Mass storage (for easy configuration, key loading & firmware updates);
- Human Interface Device (standard barcode reader/keyboard emulation);
- USB Virtual COM port (for configuration, file transfer and command interface, including OSDP over USB COM)
Bluetooth interface
Bluetooth connectivity (on Windows, Linux, Android and iOS): 2.4GHz Bluetooth 4.2 and Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE), BLE keyboard emulation; Bluetooth barcode scanner input; dynamic BLE beacon; BLE GATT output; mDL/mDoc reading
Network interface
IP connectivity: IEEE 802.11 Wi-Fi - 2.4GHz; Supports multiple SSIDs, WPA2 and local hot-spot mode for initial configuration, DHCP and fixed IP
Tap processing: VTAP Cloud can route tap data & reader ID to any web app or API endpoint, with standard/custom integrations & authentication. Response/decision can drive LEDs, buzzer, USB output or relays (with VTAP100-PRO-EXP1). Local tap processing can include offline database lookup and some direct IP connectivity (feature license required).
Other features
Operator feedback: Buzzer and LED provide device status and tap transaction feedback from reader and/or connected device/application, with customised colours and buzzer frequency and sequences
Reader management: Locally, via USB interface, using config file, key and encrypted firmware files, with optional password lock. Remotely, via IP, using VTAP Cloud, individually or by fleet, including automatic firmware updates.
Input/Output options: Built in serial RS-232 interface provides external barcode scanner input if required; Optional VTAP100 PRO I/O expansion box (VTAP100-PRO-EXP1) provides 2 relays, 1 input and can drive up to 255 serial RGB LEDs from reader and/or target tap application
