Address via DHCP:
button toggles the DHCP On or Off, depending on the current state.
Turning DHCP on displays the current IP address, subnet mask, default gateway, and DNS server. These values
are obtained from the DHCP server so cannot be manually changed.
To manually set the values, toggle the DHCP to Off and enter the values:
• Current IP Address (in dotted notation)
• Subnet Mask (in dotted notation)
• Gateway (in dotted notation)
• DNS Server (in dotted notation)
• MAC Address – Specifies the reader MAC address.

• Shell – Configures the Shell to either Telnet (unsecure) or SSH (secure) mode, or disables the shell.
• File Server – Configures the File server to either FTP (unsecure) or FTPS (secure) mode, or disables the
shell.
