CHAPTER 6 READER-HOST PROTOCOL

NANOSCANNER READER USER GUIDE • DOC # 8101029-000 REV A 45

Text-Based Command Line Operation

To interact with the reader via command line operation you must either be

communicating directly with the reader via the serial port connection to the host,

or via the Internet and a Telnet connection.

In both cases the screens will look similar and will thus be considered identical

for the purposes of the instructions that follow.

Telnet Exceptions:

• In Telnet operation you must issue the command “Q” to quit the session.

• Accessing reader controls via Telnet requires an authorized user name and

password (both of which can be changed via the General command set).

Web-based HTML Operation

The Nanoscanner reader includes a built-in Web server that can serve up a

number of easy-to-use Web pages for configuring and using the reader.

Like Telnet, the Web connection also requires an authorized user name and

password.
