Networking the Reader
You can set up the reader to use either manual IP addressing or DHCP. By default, the reader
has automatic addressing enabled: it boots up looking for a DHCP server.

DHCP can be used to automatically assign the reader’s IP address, subnet mask, default
gateway, NTP Server, DNS server and hostname. If the reader does not get a DHCP-assigned
IP address during its initial boot sequence, it defaults to the static IP address of 10.0.0.101, but
will periodically check to see if a DHCP server is available.

The following sections detail how to set up your PC and reader for automatic DHCP
configuration, as well as manually configuring the reader without a DHCP server and using the
ZeroConf protocol – Bonjour™ – for subnet reader discovery without a DHCP server.

Hardware Setup
Whether you use DHCP or static network addressing, make sure the network is connected
before powering up the reader. If the reader does not get a lease from a DHCP server, it falls
back to its static IP address of 10.0.0.101, subnet mask 255.255.255.0 and gateway 10.0.0.1.

Before Setting Your Network Settings:
Connect one end of the Ethernet cabling to the reader and the other end to the
Ethernet switch or hub
Check that all antennas are securely connected, and power up your reader
Connect your computer to the same network as the reader
Note
To connect the reader to a network hub or switch, we recommend using shielded
UTP-Cat5 straight through Ethernet patch cabling.

Note
Some older 10baseT network hubs do not work properly with the reader. If you
encounter connectivity problems we recommend using nothing below
10/100baseT hubs/switches.
