VCP driver (WHQL) for GEN500 family (RDR518, CPL508, UCM108, CPL108, CPL118, MTB108, CPL528, PLG548, CPL548, RDR519, CPL519, CPL119)
USB CDC Driver: Virtual Communication Port, serial port emulation (Application uses standard serial API).
In CDC mode, the GEN500 family is compliant with the USB CDC class. Therefore, it uses the driver available in the box from most operating systems. However, for Windows, an "inf" file is required for installation.
Notes:
- To switch from USB CCID to USB CDC, use the ASKCDCCCID switcher, available in the utilities section.
- The driver is also available through Windows Update for Windows 11, 10, 8.1, 8, 7, Vista & XP.
- Windows 11
- Windows 10 (x86 & x64)

ASKCDCCCID switcher for GEN500
This utility allows the switch between CDC and CCID USB modes on GEN5XX (RDR518, CPL508, UCM108, CPL108, CPL118, MTB108, CPL528, PLG548). CDC mode uses a virtual communication port driver, while CCID mode uses a PC/SC driver.
*** Warning *** : do not use this utility with GEN500 firmware versions from 1.08a to 1.13a, because CCID was not implemented. This would result in an unusable device.
*** Warning *** : to update GEN500 firmware using USB connectivity, the CDC mode must be used.
