Troubleshooting an Ethernet Connection
Based on your network conguration, the Setup Tool may not be able to
communicate with the reader and it will not appear in the list of Network
devices.
First check your Ethernet connection with the reader and click Refresh in the
Setup Tool. Next, scan the Enable DHCP code in the Reader Conguration
Codes document available from the Start menu. This might allow the reader to
acquire a suitable IP address from a DHCP server on your subnet.
If the reader still does not appear, you can use either the Add Device or Force
Network Settings options in the Setup Tool.
If you know the IP address of the reader, use the Add Device option. If you
do not know the IP address, use the Force Network Settings options. Either
method should allow the DataMan 300 series reader to appear in the list of
Network devices so that you can connect to it through the Setup Tool and
your Ethernet connection.
You can also use the RS-232 connection to congure the reader with
parameters that allow it to communicate over your Ethernet network.
Industrial Protocols
The DataMan 300 series readers support the following industrial
protocols:
• EtherNet/IP™
• PROFINET
• MC Protocol
• Modbus TCP
There are three ways to enable or disable Industrial Protocols. Using
either method, a reboot is required for the changes to come into effect.
• Enable the protocols using the Industrial Protocols pane of the
Setup Tool (under Communication Settings).
• Scan the appropriate Reader Conguration codes (see Reader
Conguration Codes available through the Windows Start menu).
• Send the appropriate DMCC (see Command Reference available
through the Windows Start menu).
For more information on using the industrial protocols, read the
DataMan Communications and Programming Guide available through
the Windows Start menu.
Select industrial
protocol samples and
tools you want to use
when you install the
DataMan Software.
