## Configuration Instructions
1. Transcore Reader Setup
* **Configuration**: Transcore readers are configured via host software at the distributor.
* **Default Setup**: The readers are typically set up correctly by default. In case of issues, revisit the initial setup.
* **Power Supply**: Ensure the Transcore reader has a separate power supply.
* **Installation**: Ensure the transcode reader is correctly oriented to read tags by adjusting the pan & tilt of the device to be facing directly at car windshields. Line of sight is best way to ensure the reader is correctly oriented.
2. Cypress Converter Setup
* **Dip Switch Settings**: Set dip switches 2, 3, 5, 7, and 8 to ON, and the rest to OFF.
* **Proximity**: The Cypress converter should be placed within 50 feet of the Transcore reader
* **Reference Diagram**: Refer to the wiring diagram in the PDF "Cypress CVX-1468-A RS232 Typical Wiring 6C Toll Tags.pdf" for detailed instructions.
3. AA Controller Configuration
* **Card Bank Setup**: Configure a card bank in Alloy Access which is 37-bit format called Transcore/Cypress CPSG
* Create two card banks with FC 15 & FC 2. Use range 1-`9999999999`
## Testing Installation
**Testing the Setup**
1. **Dip Switch Verification**: Ensure the dip switch settings on the Cypress Converter are correct.
2. **Toll Tag Testing**: Have a vehicle with a supported toll tag drive up to the gate. View the controller logs or events for a reading of the tag.
***
## **Day to Day Operations**
### **Site Manager Actions**:
**Adding a new Toll Tag for Access**
* Create a resident fob from the Car Tag bank
* Enter the number on the tag
* Select either card bank FC 15 or 2

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:
```
GET https://docs.alloyaccess.com/best-practices/using-toll-tags-for-vehicle-access.md?ask=&goal=
```
`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
