13.3 Connecting the Reader in the

ReaderStart

Software

13.3.1 Requirements

From reader ﬁrmware version 2.04, the reader in the ex-works condition has the IP address

192.168.0.1

and the network

mask

255.255.255.0

. Earlier reader ﬁrmware versions are conﬁgured for DHCP.

► To integrate the reader into a corporate network, contact your administrator so that he can allocate you a spare IP

address and assign the correct network mask.

Alternatively, it is possible to conﬁgure the reader to obtain an IP address automatically. For this service, referred to as

DHCP, it is necessary to have an appropriate DHCP server operating in the network.

► For more information, contact your network administrator.

► Make sure that the IP addresses of the control computer and the reader are in the same IP range but are not the

same. Ensure that the network mask is identical.

Establishing the Connection to the Reader

There are two ways to establish the connection to the reader:

● by entering the IP address to communicate directly with the reader; see

Establishing the Connection via an IP Address

● by using the reader's host name; see

Establishing the Connection Using a Host Name, p.50
