Connecting the Reader in the ReaderStart Software
13.3.1 Requirements
From reader firmware version 2.04, the reader in the ex-works condition has the IP address 192.168.0.1 and
the network mask 255.255.255.0. Earlier reader firmware versions are configured for DHCP.
Ź To integrate the reader into a corporate network, contact your administrator so that he can allocate you a
spare IP address and assign the correct network mask.
Alternatively, it is possible to configure the reader to obtain an IP address automatically. For this service,
referred to as DHCP, it is necessary to have an appropriate DHCP server operating in the network.
Ź For more information, contact your network administrator.
Ź Make sure that the IP addresses of the control computer and the reader are in the same IP range but are
not the same. Ensure that the network mask is identical.
13.3.1.1 Establishing the Connection to the Reader
There are two ways to establish the connection to the reader:
Ɣ by entering the IP address to communicate directly with the reader;
see 13.3.1.2 Establishing the Connection via an IP Address or

see 13.3.1.3 Establishing the Connection Using a Host Name.
