Step 1: Install Hardware Drivers

Users must install device Drivers for their hardware before connecting to RapidConnect Desktop. The Drivers support the following RapidConnect devices:

- RapidConnect USB Dongle
- RapidConnect 802.15.4 Module (used in conjunction with a RapidConnect Programming Fixture)
- RapidConnect Development Board

The Drivers can be downloaded here:

- Windows (32/64-bit) - Windows 10 Installation Instructions
- OS X*

Once Drivers are installed, connect the device to your PC and allow the Driver setup process to complete.

*OS X now includes a security feature that may prevent the Drivers from operating. If you are experiencing issues, navigate to System Preferences > Security & Privacy > General. If the Drivers are blocked from operating, you will see a Driver from Silicon Labs at the bottom of the list with a button next to it labelled "Allow". Click this button and enter your OS X username and password, if necessary.

Step 2: Install RapidConnect Desktop Software
