4. To connect to Visionline or VingCard Vision
4.1 To connect to the Visionline server
4.1.1 To connect via TCP/IP
If the encoder connects to the server via TCP/IP, it automatically adjusts to 10
or 100Mbit/s networks. The encoder starts by retrieving an IP address via DHCP;
Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol. The encoder then automatically finds the
server.
Note: When the encoder has been detected by the server, the display shows the
date and time. An encoder device will automatically be added to the server.
If no DHCP server is available:
1. The display will show 'offline' and the encoder IP address (default 192.168.0.100,
or another IP address if the encoder has already been connected to a network).
2. Shortly after, the IP address on the encoder display will change to an
IP address in the range 169.254.1.0 – 169.254.254.255; this range is
based on the zero config standard.
Note: When the RFID encoder has got an IP address, either via DHCP or via zero
config, it makes an announcement broadcast which either the Visionline server or
a connected ZigBee gateway should answer to. For more information about how the
RFID encoder finds the server, see Appendix E.
4.1.2 To connect via USB
If the encoder should connect via USB, the following steps must be taken:
The USBXpress driver must be installed; see Appendix B for details.
An encoder device must be added to the Visionline device list;
see details here.
Note: Power via USB is not always enough for the encoder. If this is the case,
use the enclosed external power supply of 5VDC.
