CSL CS203ETHER-2 EPC CLASS 1 GEN 2 RFID INTEGRATED READER USER'S MANUAL, VERSION 1.0
5.6 Status Verification
The status of the reader, the PC software, and the network link in between should be constantly
monitored. The following are the methods:
1. PC server side IP configuration: run command prompt and then run "ipconfig"
2. CS203 reader side IP configuration confirmation: run command prompt and then run
"ping 192.168.25.203" (or any other IP address that you have already modified the
CS203 reader into.
3. Socket status: run command prompt and then run "netstat -na"
4. Reader read tag capability: put a reference tag (tag with an ID that you know a priori) on
the CS203 front face corner. Reference tag is actually an excellent idea to check the
health of a reader. The backend system should monitor the presence of this ID. If this
ID is seen, then the reader is still alive and well.
