Ethernet IP Address Overview
The MP9310 can be networked with other readers on an enterprise 10/100 BaseT
Ethernet LAN. Each reader is equipped with an embedded IP device server that
allows the unit to be assigned an IP address. This address can then be accessed by
your network server or host computer.
When the MP9310 is installed on a TCP/IP network connected to the internet, the
reader must be assigned a unique IP address. The reader is configured for
automatic IP address allocation using the Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol
(DHCP) Mode. This is the default mode for the reader as it is shipped from the
factory. In this case, the reader automatically extracts the IP address from the
DHCP server.
If DHCP is not available or the reader is not setup for automatic IP address
allocation, the address can be manually assigned using the Digi Device Discovery
application.
IP Address Setup
To set up a reader for Ethernet communication, perform the following:
1. Verify all cabling and power supplies are secure and power up the readers.
2. Copy the Digi Discovery application from the UHF Reader system
distribution disk to your host system. This application has the filename:
dgdiscvr.zip.
3. Copy the RF Command Suite application to your host system. This
application has the filename
Setup_RFCommandSuite_10.exe.
4. Unzip the Digi Discovery zip file and extract the dgdiscvr.exe
application. The application will be copied to your system inside a folder.
5. Open the dgdiscvr.exe folder and double-click the dgdiscvr
application.
6. If any readers are connected, the application will launch and the readers will
be displayed as follows:
