NOTE Connect the reader to a network that supports host name registration and lookup to ensure the network
can access the reader using the host name. For instance, some networks can register hostnames
through DHCP. When first connecting to the reader, it is recommended to keep DHCP enabled, although
it is not guaranteed that hostname will work in this case. Use the host name provided on the CD label, or
construct it using the reader MAC address on the reader back label. The host name is a string with prefix
FX7400, followed by the last three MAC address octets. For example, for a MAC address of
00:15:70:CD:3B:0D, use the prefix FX7400, followed by the last three MAC address octets (CD, 3B, and
0D), so the host name is FX7400CD3B0D. Type http://FX7400CD3B0D in the browser address bar to
access the reader.
