“Admin” screen under “General”, “Readers”. You need to enter the serial numbers for each

Collector, the IP Address and port 9001 for the Coordinator, and select “Wireless Node” or

“Coordinator” from the “Reader Type” dropdown. You can also write a brief description of

each Collector’s location for clarification later on if you have more than one. If using a

dongle gateway, you’ll need to know the COM port the dongle is using. You should’ve seen

the port number during the driver install but if you didn’t you can find the port number by

opening the “Start” menu, right click “Computer”, select “Manage”, then select “Device

Manager” from the list in the upper right. In Device Manager, click “Ports” to expand the

list that will show you which COM port is used by the Dongle.
