SCRAM Direct Connect

Black Label Device

If you are utilizing the black-labelled Direct Connect device (aka “hood”) to upload data from the SCRAM CAM Bracelet to SCRAMNET, follow the steps below to install drivers and the correct version of the Direct Connect application.

Procedure

  1. If Direct Connect is open, close the application before proceeding.
  2. If the version of the Direct Connect application you wish to install is already installed, that version should be uninstalled before re-installing the application.
    Information It is not necessary to uninstall Direct Connect V1 to install Direct Connect V2; however, it is strongly recommended to avoid confusion.
  3. If you are still using the Windows 7 operating system, you must first install Microsoft .NET (“dot net”) Framework 4 before installing the application:
    Download & install Microsoft .NET Framework 4 (link opens in a new tab/window)

    Information Newer versions of the Microsoft Windows operating system (Windows 8, 10, & 11, e.g.) already include the Microsoft .NET Framework and do not require an additional installation.
  4. Install the Direct Connect drivers:
    1. Download and save this DC Drivers ZIP file to a location on your computer
    2. Extract (“unzip”) the contents of the ZIP file to a folder on your machine
    3. Launch and Run the appropriate driver-installer program (.exe file) for your Windows operating system:
      • CP210xVCPInstaller_x86.exe for your 32-bit Windows OS
      • CP210xVCPInstaller_x64.exe for your 64-bit Windows OS
  5. Install the Direct Connect software application:
