Savi Fixed Reader SR-650-101 Installation Guide 31
Discovering a Reader Using a
SaviNet Connection (RS-485)
If you are adding the reader to an RS-485 network where SmartChain
Site Manager is already running, you must force the discovery process.
1. On the Windows desktop, click the Site Manager Console icon.
2. In the Network area of the console, right-click a protocol and select
Discover All.
3. Select Refresh to see the new readers.
Note: You can also initiate discovery from the Network Management
window. Click Network Management on the toolbar, right-click, and
select Discover All.
Note: If you connect your RS-485 to RS-232 converter into a serial port
on SmartChain Site Manager that is not COM1, you must change the
value of the
SaviNet\PortNumber parameter to the appropriate COM
port and then restart SmartChain Site Manager.
Adding a Reader Manually Using an
Ethernet Connection
You can manually add a Savi Fixed Reader SR-650-101 that is plugged into
an Ethernet by assigning a static IP address. SmartChain Site Manager must
have a TCP/IP subnet that is compatible with the reader’s default IP address
(10.7.19.11). The reader should be connected to SmartChain Site Manager
through a hub, switch, or cross-over cable.
1. On the Windows desktop, click the Site Manager Console icon.
2. In the Network area of the console, right-click a protocol and select
Add Device.
3. Fill in the device properties.
