4 INITIAL READER CONFIGURATION

4.1 ETHERNET

The reader defaults to using DHCP and will take on the IP address provided by the DHCP server. If there

is no DHCP server it will obtain an IP address by negotiating with other network devices on the non-

DHCP network. Typically, it will get an IP address in the 169.254.*.* space.

The reader can also be configured to obtain a static IP address. Please see section the User’s Manual for

additional details.

To “discover” the reader’s IP address, you can use a Bonjour client like “avahi” or you can use the

reader’s Java GUI software. The available ports on the reader are described in the table below.

The serial port can be used to access a Linux Bash Shell and can be used to startup user applications (See

User’s Manual for additional details). The default Linux login is username “user” and password “user”.

4.3 DIGITAL I/O

The two digital inputs and two digital outputs can be used to either trigger the reader to enter or leave

active mode or to perform other user operations. Please see the User’s Manual for additional details.

To facilitate and confirm initial wiring, the digital I/O can be monitored and the output can be changed

via the Reader Host Software Java GUI at the top frame of the GUI on the right-hand side:
