Serial devices may slow when scanning a wide port range.
Ethernet (Local IP 10.10.10.65): Connects to an Ethernet reader at the given IP address and opens a
TCP/IP on the given port. The first, second, third, and fourth byte of the TCP/IP address must be entered
for the interface to connect to the reader. The IP port number will also be required.
Port Option: Allows for changing the Internet socket port numbers.
Ports below 1024 are for system use only.
Find Next IP Button: Looks for other readers on the same Ethernet connection.
Device List Pull-down: Contains a list of devices found by the utility.
For example, if you have an RJ45 connector (as seen below) then the specific logical protocol
connection to be selected is Ethernet.
Connectors
Remember, not all USB interface connections necessarily connect logically through a USB. If your
device has a USB connector, and your device part number suffix is xx0 or xxF, the logical protocol
connection is made through COM. A device with a USB interface connector and a part number
suffix of xxU will connect through the USB connect option.
