2. Click New.
3. From the drop-down list, select the Reader Type and click Next.
4. On the Reader Properties page, fill in values for the reader-specific properties shown.

   Properties that must be filled in display an asterisk (*) to the right of the field. Consult the RFID Reader Reference or manufacturer’s manual for your reader for more information on these properties and their allowable values.

5. Click OK to save your changes.
