4 Configuring the BS-8100 System
This section covers how to configure the Brigade Backsense
®
BS-8100 system.
4.1 PC System Requirements
The system requires a PC with a USB 2.0 Type-A connector, which will connect a computer to
the programming interface connector located on the display. A USB cable with USB standard
type A plug to mini-B plug should be used, which is included with the BS-8100.
The Configuration Tool is compatible with Microsoft Windows 7 to 11 (32-bit or 64-bit version)
operating systems.
4.2 Software Installation
The software installation requires two steps: first, the installation of the Configuration Tool
itself, followed by the installation of a USB to serial port driver. The installation files can be
found on either the Brigade Electronics website (www.brigade-electronics.com/product-
support) or the optional USB drive included with the BS-8100.
4.2.1 Configuration Tool Software Installation
Download the latest version of the BS-8100 Configuration Tool Installer (.msi file) from either
the Brigade Electronics website (www.brigade-electronics.com/product-support) or the
optional included USB drive and run it.
In some cases, you may have a digital signature warning. Click “Run anyway” to continue with
the installation. If unsure or your user rights are not permitting the installation, refer to your IT
department.
