50 AR 400 Reader User’s Manual  2003-2004 Matrics, Inc.
Section 8. Reader Server Controls
While most of the Reader Administrative Console functions allow you to create a logical view of your
Reader, the Reader Server Status and Scan Control pages give you a view of (and control over) the actual
“running” system configuration.
Check Status of Reader
The AR 400 Reader monitors the health and welfare of Readers and associated devices. Under normal
circumstances, the table displayed on the Reader Status page should show the same number of devices in
the Total column and the Enabled column. However, if devices are off-line (not enabled), you will see a
non-zero number in some of the other columns.
1. If you haven’t already done so, launch and log in to the Reader Administrator Console.
2. Click the Status link on the left-hand side of any page. The Reader Status page displays.
If you have disabled a device, you will see an entry in the User Disabled column. User-disabled
devices can be enabled via the Reader Configuration page. If there are child devices (lower in the
hierarchy) such as Read Points connected to a Reader that you have disabled, a value displays in the
Parent Disabled column.
