SystemApp
Using the "SystemApp", you can read out various Android-based device, memory, network
and battery information relating to the reader.
NTP server
Android operating systems usually need Internet access to synchronize the device clock. By
default, Android synchronizes its clock with the time server "2.android.pool.ntp.org".
Synchronization with an NTP server is not planned and, therefore, it is not usually possible to
set a specific NTP server in an Android operating system.
However, the SIMATIC RF160B has a function for synchronizing the device clock with an NTP
server. You can find this function at the following path: "Desktop > App overview > Settings >
Date & time > NTP server".
Ethernet/WLAN
Ethernet (charging/docking station)
The charging/docking station of the reader has an Ethernet interface via which the
charging/docking station or the mobile reader can be integrated into a wired network. The
device obtains its network configuration via DHCP by default.
To integrate the charging/docking station into a network, you need to create the
"network_settings.ini" file under the path "sdcard > ACD". The file must contain the following
entries:
Table 4- 6
/sdcard/xxx/network_settings.ini
ip-address=1.2.3.4
cidr=24
default-gateway=1.2.3.1
dns-server1=1.2.3.2
dns-server2=1.2.3.3
Note
Line breaks
Note that you create line breaks in the "network_settings.ini" file with <LF> (Linux style). Line
breaks cannot be created with <CR><LF> (Windows style).
The IP addresses (IPv4) must be adapted to your local network settings. If there is only one
DNS server, its IP address also needs to be entered in "dns-server2". The settings are activated
automatically as soon as you connect the reader to the Ethernet again.
