Updating the Reader Network Configuration
OPTIONAL:
If your RF reader was shipped along
with the RFM5209 Data Hub, the RF reader has
already been configured to work with the Data
Hub. If your RF reader was shipped speperately,
you will need to modify the RF reader settings as
below.
The RFM5209 requires the RF reader be config
-
ured as a client, and to have it’s IP address con-
verted to static. This ensures that the RFM5209
and the RF reader will automatically connect
when powered, and that they will re-connect if
the network connection is lost.
T
he RF reader configuration is accessed via the
RFID Configuration software shipped
with the reader.
