192.168.0.1
and the network
mask
255.255.255.0

To integrate the reader into a corporate network, contact your administrator so that he can allocate you a spare IP
address and assign the correct network mask.

DHCP, it is necessary to have an appropriate DHCP server operating in the network.

For more information, contact your network administrator.

Make sure that the IP addresses of the control computer and the reader are in the same IP range but are not the
same. Ensure that the network mask is identical.
Establishing the Connection to the Reader

by entering the IP address to communicate directly with the reader; see
Establishing the Connection via an IP Address
or
●
by using the reader's host name; see
Establishing the Connection Using a Host Name, p. 41
