Operating the optical reader with a static IP address ("X1 LAN1"/"X2 LAN2")
Assign the network address manually in "Manual" IP mode. Enter the IP address and the
subnet mask to suit your network configuration and, if applicable, a gateway address. To do
this, specify the Ethernet interfaces to be used as the default gateway in WBM ("Settings >
Communication > Interfaces > Ethernet").
NOTICE
Requirement for the IP address
Note that you can only set the IP address for the "X2 LAN2" interface via the WBM.
NOTICE
Ethernet interfaces in different subnets
Note that you must operate the Ethernet interfaces "X1 LAN1" and "X2 LAN2" in two
different subnets. If you do not comply, you cannot save the changes in the WBM, or if you
use PST, the IP address of the "X2 LAN2" interface is discarded.
A gateway is not necessary for a direct connection between the optical reader and a PC/PG.
Operating an optical reader as a DHCP/DNS server ("X1 LAN1")
NOTICE
Possible faults when operating as a DHCP/DNS server
Note that operating the optical reader as a DHCP/DNS server can interfere with
communication in an existing network! Another DHCP/DNS server in the network must not
be enabled.
Note that the optical reader automatically operates as a DHCP/DNS server when
connected using the "CONNECT" button.
