Requirements

• If using the first generation device. Pre-installed USB device driver for the first generation SPT unit.

Important note for Windows users

• When running Bridge on Windows we can support multiple devices: a mix of both first generation and next generation SPT devices.
• Bridge cannot auto detect a device (when you plugin/remove a device to/from the computer). Bridge searches for devices at the start. Make sure you plugin all the devices before doing operations (e.g. Download, Erase) on the devices. If you have to change devices, you have to restart the Bridge.
