Parameter Function
Keep-alive time This time specifies the intervals of time at which the reader sends a data packet to check
whether the host is still available. If the connection to the reader is broken, the reader shuts
down the connection. If this parameter is deactivated (0 ms), the socket is shut down only
when the reader is restarted.
DHCP Activates the automatic issuing of an IP address by a DHCP server; if the network has a
configured DNS server, the host name of the reader can also be used.
Note: If no keep-alive time is set it may happen that the reader cannot take up any further connections
because the existing connections have not been properly shut down (e.g. following a breakage in the wire). In
this case the reader has to be restarted. It is recommended that the keep-alive time is used to check the
connection between the reader and PC.
The data is saved in the reader by pressing the Save changes button. The data are however not loaded to
the active configuration until the reader is restarted.
Note: If the interface is wrongly configured, no connection to the reader can be established.
The IP default configuration is as follows:
Host name: UHF-RFID-Dev
IP address: 192.168.0.1
Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0
Keep-alive time: 2000ms
DHCP: deactivated
