Launch and Log In to the Reader Administrator Console
Users must log in to the system to ensure that: 1) System access is granted only to authorized users, and
2) Only one user is logged in at a time to ensure that multiple users don’t make conflicting changes to the
system.
1. Using the Web browser of your choice, launch the Reader Administrator Console by typing
http://your Reader’s IP address
into the browser’s Address field. If the Reader is not defaulted to
DHCP, the default IP address is 192.168.127.254.
The User Login page displays.
2. If this is the first time you have logged into your system, login to the default Admin account by
typing ‘admin’ in the User Name field, ‘change’ in the Password field, and then clicking Login.
