on network based readers every 3-4 months.

4.4 ConneCting to A ReAdeR using ReAdeRmAnAgeR
Magellan’s readers are complex and powerful network devices. As most network devices they should be handled
by well trained network administrators.
The tunnel provides an Ethernet and USB device interface to allow for user connection.
Before you open the ReaderManager and connect to a reader using the ReaderManager you must obtain an Ethernet
IP address if you are using a normal Ethernet cable or an Ethernet cross over cable or acquire a USB IP address if you are
using the USB cable.
