IPEPS-PLUS

Installation Overview
The driver package installation is a two-step process. You must complete both stages to ensure the hardware is recognized correctly:
The driver certificate
By default, Windows does not allow test-signed kernel-mode drivers. To change this behavior and enable test-signed drivers to load, you need to do the following procedure:
Precondition
Secure boot should be disabled to enable the test signing. If secure boot is enabled then disable secure boot from boot menu.
- Step 1: Enter the UEFI (BIOS) Settings
- Open Settings (Win + I).
- Go to System > Recovery.
- Next to Advanced startup, click Restart now.
- Your PC will reboot to a blue "Choose an option" screen. Select:
- Troubleshoot
- Advanced options
- UEFI Firmware Settings
- Restart
- Step 2: Disable Secure Boot
Once you are in the BIOS menu, your mouse might not work; use the arrow keys and Enter to navigate.- Find the Security or Boot tab: Look for a menu labeled Security, Boot, or Authentication.
- Locate "Secure Boot": It is usually set to "Enabled."
- Change to "Disabled": Select it and change the toggle.
Note: If the option is "greyed out," you may need to set a "Supervisor Password" in the Security tab first. You can delete the password after you've disabled Secure Boot. - Save and Exit: Press F10 (the universal "Save & Exit" key) and confirm
Installing the Certificate
Secure boot should be disabled to enable the test signing. If secure boot is enabled then disable secure boot from boot menu.
To enable test signing and install the test certificate, open CMD/PowerShell, navigate to the driver package folder and run the following command:
.\InstallTestCert.bat install
or..
InstallTestCert.bat install
If CMD/PowerShell is not running with admin privilege, it will prompt for admin privilege.
After running the above command reboot the system.
Windows Test Mode
After Windows has rebooted, a water mark will appear at the bottom right hand corner of the desktop.
If the watermark is not visible the ensure that secure boot is disabled and re-run the above command.
Installing the Driver
To install driver open CMD/PowerShell, navigate to the driver package folder and run the following command:
.\InstallDriver.bat install
or..
InstallDriver.bat install
If CMD/PowerShell is not running with admin privilege, it will prompt for admin privilege.
Checking that the driver is installed
Connect the IPEPS-PLUS or ALPR110T and open Device Manager. Under Mice and other pointing device Multi-Monitor Mouse Filter should be available. See Figure 2: Device Manager.
If device name is visible then it is successfully installed and further testing can be performed.
Driver Removal Instructions
To uninstall the driver and certificate open CMD/PowerShell, navigate to the driver package folder and run the following command:
.\InstallDriver.bat remove
.\InstallTestCert.bat remove
or..
InstallDriver.bat remove
InstallTestCert.bat remove
If CMD/PowerShell is not running with admin privilege, it will prompt for admin privilege.
Reboot the target PC after running above command line. The watermark of Debug mode should not be visible.
If you had disabled Secure Boot, you may wish to re-enable it again.
