6.1 Configuration System

This tool is used to view the reader’s hardware module part numbers and version numbers. The tool is

also used to set the networks settings and to change the name of the reader as seen on the network.

To access this tool, select Tools->System->Configuration System.

The configuration system tool consists of two tab items:

1. System configuration – shows part and version numbers of various components which make up a

reader.

2. Network configuration – shows the current reader network settings.

6.1.1 System Configuration Tab

The configuration system tool is shown in Figure 11. Your section names, part and version numbers may

be different to what is shown in this document, depending on what type of reader, ReaderManager is

connected to.

Most fields in the configuration system require a password to change the field value. The CustomerID

field does not require a password and is provided for the user to assign a descriptive name to the reader.

This name will appear in the multicast messages from the reader and will be shown in the dynamic

connection area on the Connection menu. Table 7 describes the various elements of the tool.
