Ethernet Settings
As shipped, the default network settings for the Mantis™ II 433.92MHz
Reader are:
IP address: 192.168.1.129
Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0
Gateway: 192.168.1.5
U
WARNING – These settings must be changed to match the subnet of
the network on which the Mantis™ II 433.92MHz Reader is to be
used.
These Ethernet settings are stored in the network.txt file, which is read by
the Reader at boot time. Each setting is represented as a string of
hexadecimal characters. For IP addresses, a pair of hexadecimal characters
(00 to FF) represent each decimal component (0 to 255) of the address. For
example:
IP address: 192.168.1.239 => C0A801EF
Subnet mask: 255.255.0.0 => FFFF0000
Gateway: 192.168.1.1 => C0A80101
The network.txt file consists of these default hexadecimal strings that are
concatenated on a single line. For example:
C0A80181 FFFFF00 C0A80105 0A 3E8 578 1F4

WARNING – This network.txt file should not be altered. Instead, the
Network-enabled Reader Programmer allows the user to change
these settings using dotted decimal notation for IP addresses, the
subnet mask, and other advanced settings.
