Name
shows the host name of the reader which is logged onto the DNS server
It is possible to address the reader using this name as an alternative to the IP address.
③
Keep alive
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.
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, it is necessary to restart the reader. It is
recommended to use the keep-alive time to check the connection between the reader
and PC.
