Figure: Conguration parameters for the Ethernet module
The settings for the LED display are visible only if ARU reader.
The parameters have the following functions:
1 Name – Here the host name of the reader which is logged on to the DNS server is stated. The reader can be
addressed by this name as an alternative to the IP address.
2 DHCP – activates the automatic issuing of an IP address by a DHCP server; if the network has a congured
DNS server, the host name of the reader can also be used.
3 IP address – for manual issuing of the address. This parameter can be used only if the DHCP is deactivated
4 Subnet mask – for manual issuing of a network mask. This parameter can be used only if the DHCP is deactivated.
5 Keep-alive time – this time species the intervals of time at which the reader sends a data packet to check
whether the receiver is still available. If the connection to the reader is broken, the reader shuts down the
connection. If this parameter is deactivated (0 ms), the socket is shut down only when the reader is restarted.
Note
If no keep-alive time is set it may happen that the reader cannot take up any further connections because the
existing connections have not been properly shut down (e.g. following a breakage in the wire). In this case the
reader has to be restarted. It is recommended that the keep-alive time is used to check the connection between the
reader and PC.
Note
If the interface is wrongly congured, no connection to the reader can be established. Please make a note of the
data settings.
Default conguration:
Host name: UHF-RFID-Dev
IP address: 192.168.0.1
Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0
Keep-alive time: 2000ms
DHCP: deactivated
The data are saved in the reader by pressing the Save changes button. The data are however not loaded to the working
conguration until the reader is restarted.
The IP addresses of the Linux Reader is now set via Reader Start Software.
