QLM500 INSTALLATION MANUAL
10
10) Preset the Node Address of the QLM500, as shown in the EtherNet/IP Network Address
Selectors paragraph.
11) Switch on the power supply; after a while (the system needs some seconds to boot),
and if the EtherNet/IP Host is ready and has correctly recognized the QLM500, the green
Network Status and Module Status LEDs below both ETH1 and ETH2 M12 connectors
should be turned on.
12) If you need to configure the reading device, connect the AUX port through the CAB-
AUX03 accessory cable to a PC and run the configuration program (i.e. Genius™).
Now the system is ready to operate.
NOTE
To avoid electromagnetic interference connect the QLM500 housing to a
good earth ground.
ETHERNET/IP NETWORK ADDRESS SELECTORS
An IPv4 IP Address is composed of four octets (bytes) and can be represented by four
decimal numbers separated by dots (dotted notation). For example, in the following address:
195.24.65.215, the last octet is 215.
The QLM500 has three embedded rotary switches allowing easy manual selection of the last
octet of the
IP Address
. Valid selections for the last octet of the IP Address are shown in the
table below. Address selections outside of these values are not accepted.
000-255 = A valid selection for the last octet of the IP Address
777 = Remote Assignment through the IPConfig application available on the reader's
CD-ROM.
888 = Static Assignment – set manually through Genius™
999 = set through a DHCP server
Using a small screwdriver, set the three rotary switches manually to the desired IP Address
(reading from left to right). Figure 3 shows address
107
as the last octet.
Figure 3 – EtherNet/IP Network Address Selectors
So, for the example above, the IP Address stored in the connected reading device is
195.24.65.215 and the configuration defined by the three rotary switches is 107; when the
gateway is switched on the IP Address is assumed to be 195.24.65.

.
The full IP Address as well as the Gateway Address can be set by printing and then reading
custom barcode labels as described in the "Custom Barcode IP Address/Station Name
Assignment" document available on the reader's CD-ROM.
