7 ESL Access Point Configuration
The ESL access points AP-2010, MAP-2014 T/LANCOM L-151E and LANCOM LN-830E are the
communication center in the store that transmits information to the labels. In order to ensure the
communication between SES-imagotag Core Service, access point(s) and the labels the access
points have to be configured at the start of the SES-imagotag Core Service.
7.1 Connect and configure AP-2010
7.1.1 Connect and configure
Before labels are able to communication with the SES-imagotag Core Service at least one ESL
access point needs to be configured. In standard configuration the AP-2010 gets an IP-address via
DHCP (recommended) and is accessible via imagotag AP-2010 web UI:
URL: http://<host|ip>:8080
Login: admin/admin
Important Note: In this part of the Core Service Quick Start Guide it is assumed that a DHCP server is
present (you can find the steps to discover the access point without DHCP in the Troubleshooting
section - see Establish a network configuration when no DHCP is available – Step by step on page 42
7.1.2 Discover the Access Point
Before you can configure the ESL access point it’s necessary that it will be discovered.
The following points have to be observed:
l Connect your machine to the same network as the AP
l Plug in the power supply of the access point
l During the boot process of the access point, start the SES-imagotag Core Service software on
the computer
l When the access point is up (LEDturns orange), the SES-imagotag Core Service will discover
it with an IP address (Note: The discovering process may take up to 2 minutes)
l Use the SES-imagotag Control Center to connect to your SES-imagotag Core Service
l Under System – Access Point Status – the AP should be listed as discovered (after successful
boot sequence)
