Establishing a connection to the reader and starting the user
interface
Steps for initial commissioning
Step
Note
The user interface of the reader is known as the adjustment support. The adjustment support
takes the form of a Java applet stored on the reader and this can be activated using an
Internet browser.
Step 1
Connect the reader and PC using an Ethernet cable
Connect the reader directly to your PC/programming device over an Ethernet cable.
Note
You do not need a crossover cable because the reader is capable of autocrossing and
automatically detects the type of cable you are using.
Step 2
Turn the reader on
Turn on the power supply for the reader. The reader is supplied with power either via a
connected ASM cable or via the power IO RS-232 cable or PoE cable, see also Connecting
(Page 119) .
● Each time it is started, the reader runs a self-test. This is indicated by the Power LED
flashing.
● After a period of between several seconds and 2 minutes, the self-test is completed and
the Power LED shines green. The reader is ready for operation.
