Send pass data over a virtual COM port

A virtual COM port setting for the USB interface will mean that the VTAP reader is treated by the connected PC as a COM port, as well as a mass storage device. The COM port will be active and will send any pass data received as soon as it is read.

To help receive pass data over the virtual COM port in a particular format, you can add extra prefix or postfix characters to the data that is sent, using ComPortPrefix or ComPortPostfix settings. You can also set ComPortPassMode=1 and choose to Extract only part of the pass data using the same settings used to manipulate pass data sent over keyboard emulation, but this time starting the settings with ComPortPass... rather than KBPass....

Note: If you would rather receive pass and status data only in response to a request over the COM port refer to Using passive COM port.
