Connecting to the Reader

Overviews different methods for connecting to the reader.

To use the Administrator Console to manage the reader, power up the reader, and connect it to an accessible network. The green power LED indicates that the reader is ready. If the green power LED is not lit, reset the reader. See Resetting the Reader.

Connect to the reader in one of two ways:

Connecting via Host Name

Connecting via IP Address

See Obtaining the IP Address via Command Prompt for more information.

There are three ways to assign an IP address to the reader:

Using DHCP on the network.

Using Link Local Networking when DHCP Server is Not Available

Statically assigning an IP.

Assigning the IP supports connection using the host name or IP address. Alternatively, connect the reader directly to a local computer using zero-configuration networking.

When using Link Local networking, the readers cannot communicate with computers on different subnets or with computers that do not use automatic private IP addressing.
