(e.g., http://fx7500cd3b0d) and press
Enter. The User Login window appears and the reader is ready.

Host
NOTE Connect the reader to a network that supports host name registration and lookup to ensure the network
can access the reader using the host name. For instance, some networks can register hostnames
through DHCP. When first connecting to the reader, it is recommended to keep DHCP enabled in both the
PC and in the reader, although it is not guaranteed that hostname will work all the time. Use the host
name printed on the reader label, or construct it using the reader MAC address on the bottom of the
reader. The host name is a string with the prefix FX7500, followed by the last three MAC address octets.
For example, for a MAC address of 00:15:70:CD:3B:0D, use the prefix FX7500, followed by CD, 3B, and
0D, to create the host name FX7500CD3B0D. Enter http://FX7500CD3B0D in the browser address bar
to access the reader.
