Using the Browser-Based Interface

The Mercury4 or Mercury5 Reader browser-based interface communicates directly with the
RFID reader. It includes several tools that enable you to monitor reader performance, change
reader settings, and upgrade reader firmware.

The browser-based interface can be run from any PC on the network.

Care must be taken to configure the PC with an IP address and subnet mask compatible with
the current operational settings of the reader.
