1.5 Reader Service
1.5.1 Using the Browser-Based
Interface
The browser-based interface communicates directly
with the V740 reader. It includes several tools that
enable you to monitor reader performance, change
reader settings, and upgrade reader firmware.
A navigation menu provides access to the following
pages:
•
Status—Displays current operational settings.
•
Query—Allows the user to set timing of operation,
set antennas, set RF air interface protocols, and
read tags.
•
Write—Allows the user to write tags; this is only
applicable to tags that are writeable.
•
Settings—Allows the user to modify radio and
network settings.
•
Firmware—Allows the user to upgrade the V740
reader with new firmware images supplied by
OMRON.
•
Restart—Allows the user to restart the reader.
•
Diagnostics—Provides the current operating
settings of the reader.
•
Help—Provides information that is helpful in
operating the reader.
The browser-based interface can be run from any PC
on the network. Care must be taken to configure the
PC with an IP address and subnet mask compatible
with the current operational settings of the reader.
To start the browser-based interface:
1. Exit all reader applications on the network.
IMPORTANT: Running another reader application
while using the browser-based interface may
cause a reader error. If this happens, reboot the
reader or restart it using the browser-based
interface.
2. Start a Java-enabled web browser from any
network-enabled PC.
3. Type the IP address of the reader to which you
want to communicate in the address field of the
browser or use Apple's Bonjour™ protocol to
browse to it.
