AL5010 Networking Guide
Introduction
The AL5010 bar code reader includes a built-in Ethernet interface that can
be used both for receiving bar code data from the AL5010 as well as
monitoring and configuring the AL5010.
AL5010 Ethernet Hardware Configuration
The AL5010 Ethernet hardware supports a 10/100mbps full or half-duplex
Ethernet link. (Wiring information is provided in Chapter 4 and Appendix F.)
Use the AccuLazr User Interface Log Viewer’s DISP ENET command to
monitor for Ethernet errors.
The AL5010 hardware will detect the swapping of the Transmit and Receive
lines and configure appropriately. This allows a straight cable to be used to
connect two AL5010s.
AL5010 Network Software Configuration
The AL5010 browser-based user interface makes it possible to connect to
the AL5010 over the network.
Currently, the AL5010 only supports static IP addresses. The defaults for the
AL5010 network settings are listed below:
Parameter Default Value
IP Address 192.168.3.100
Net Mask 255.255.255.0
Gateway 0.0.0.0
If you are adding your AL5010 to a larger network, you must obtain an IP
addresses (as well as the other parameters) from your network
administrator. If the AL5010s are to operate on a closed network, you may
assign your own IP addresses. This is typically by just incrementing the last
number from the default (192.168.3.101, 192.168.3.102, etc.).
