Look on the product page: you'll see a PDF file that has all the information that you need, including the hookup diagram and some sample BS2 code.

it looks like it will only work with serial not usb?

The RFID Reader comes in two models…one that is designed strictly for use with a PC (The USB version) and a serial version which is designed to work with microcontrollers. If you’re planning on using a BASIC Stamp you’ll want the serial version. Take care.

Read the post right above yours, it explains the issue.

I've already. But may be there's something. isn't there any usb interface for the BS2? may be that can resolve the issue.

The USB interface on the BS2 Board of Education is a slave-only interface and can't be used to plug in other devices. You'll either have to wait until you can get a serial RFID reader or somehow modify your existing USB RFID reader. I wouldn't recommend that. It's not designed to be modifiable.
