Introduction
Why connecting a MorphoAccess® terminal to a PC
The MorphoAccess® VP Series terminal is designed to be able to run in standalone
mode, it means without any connection to a master system. But sometimes, a
connection with a PC is useful to perform tasks like:
• Terminal configuration
• Terminal maintenance: firmware upgrade, add a software license
• Database management: add or remove a user
• Log file management: get or delete log file
• Wi-Fi™ connection configuration
Connection methods
The MorphoAccess® terminal can be connected to a PC by an Ethernet cable, either
directly or through a LAN. The LAN can be reduced to only one Ethernet router.
Once physically connected, the MorphoAccess® terminal can be configured using an
application such as Configuration Tool or MATM.
A POE (Power Over Ethernet) current injector is mandatory if the MorphoAccess®
VP Series terminal is not powered by the +12VDC/GND wires block.
Network parameter initialization
The network parameters of the MorphoAccess® terminal are:
IP address
assignation
Parameter Factory value
Static (default) Terminal IP address 134.1.32.214
Gateway IP address 134.1.6.20
Sub network mask 255.255.240.0
Dynamic (DHCP) Host name MA<Serial Number>
If it is not possible to use default network parameter values, then these values must be
modified. The easiest way to change network parameters is to use a USB Mass Storage
key.
The procedure is described in the Setting up IP parameters with a USB Mass Storage
Key section.
