If the address here is not 169.254 followed by 2 other numbers, then the user needs to check the following:

Right click on the Ethernet connection in the Network Connections window.

Select the Properties menu option.

In the properties window, look in the list of items for Internet Protocol (TCP/IP).

Double click on this item

In the Internet Properties window, click on the Alternate Conguration tab

Make sure that the Automatic private IP address radio button is the selected one.

If it is not, then select it and click OK.

In some PCs this setting could be on a manual address, which would prevent Link Local addressing from functioning.

Note that older versions of Reader OS software used a dierent system. It is important that all Readers are upgraded

to 2.03 or above in order to use this functionality.

Step 5: Go to the section 4.4.3

4.4.2 getting An ip AddRess using usb

The USB interface uses TCP/IP networking over USB as the protocol. This allows you to connect to a reader as if it was a

normal network. So all the usual services, such as telnet and FTP are available.

Any device hardware when it’s rst connected to a PC via USB requires a device driver. The device driver is provided

by Microsoft (Windows XP SP2). No USB device drivers are available instantly. They have to be installed and require a

certain amount of conguration. The driver must be installed on the PC before Windows can use the connection. The

device driver requires a conguration le for the reader which is installed on the PC via the ReaderManager.

When you install a new reader for the rst time it can take from 1 to 5 minutes to create a network connection

before the ReaderManager is able to recognize a new reader.

Since every reader has a unique serial number, Windows treats it as a new device and you will have to install the device

driver again for each new reader that you connect to the same PC. Since the device driver les are already on the reader,

Windows can search for the driver automatically.

In order to connect to a reader via USB for the rst time follow the steps below:

Step 1:

Open Network Connections in Windows (Windows XP SP2) to view the network connection process.
