7.2 Connect and configure LANCOM access point
The LANCOM access point with Wireless-ePaper is the communication center in the store that
transmits price information to the labels. In order to ensure the communication between SES-
imagotag Core Service, access point and the labels the LANCOM access point with Wireless-ePaper
has to be connected after the start of the SES-imagotag Core Service.
One way to configure the access point is on the client.
7.2.1 First configuration steps
As described in the Installation Guide (printed version included in the package) you’ll have to
configure the basic settings before setting up Wireless-ePaper using the SES-imagotag Core
Service.
1. Installing the software or configuration using a web browser and setup wizards
2. Deploying and connecting the device
3. Searching for and configuring the device
After setting up the basic settings the following points have to be fulfilled:
l Knowing the IP address of the LANCOM access point
l WLAN activated
Important Note:LANCOM access point and the computer on which the SES-imagotag Core Service
runs should be connected via Ethernet and not via Wi-Fi, as this will result to regular failures.
7.2.2 Access Point IP address
Before labels are able to communication with the SES-imagotag Core Service at least one access
point needs to be configured. After setting up the basics you should know the IP address of your
LANCOM access point:
URL: http://<LANCOM-IP-address>
Login with the password set before.
