Step 3 — Mount and Position the Reader
Important: See the Grounding and Isolation section of Appendix B in the MicroHAWK ID-20,
ID-30, ID-40 User Manual for proper grounding and isolation techniques.
• Position the reader several inches from the symbol. You may need to reposition the reader a few
times to find the ideal distance.
• Tip the reader relative to the symbol to avoid the glare of direct (specular) reflection.
• Symbols can be rotated (tilted) at any angle; however, for best results symbols should be aligned
with the field of view. In the case of linear symbols, aligning the bars in the direction of their movement
(ladder orientation) will minimize the chances of blurring and will result in more consistent decodes.
Important: Avoid excessive skew or pitch. Maximum skew is ±30°; maximum pitch is ±30°. The
illustration below shows approximate skew axis, pitch axis, and tilt axis.

When you double-click the WebLink desktop shortcut or enter the reader's IP address directly in the
1
address bar of your web browser, WebLink will load and start.

Step 3
Note: WebLink is the preferred user interface for
MicroHAWK ID Readers, but Microscan's ESP
Software can also be used for configuration and
testing. Use ESP in the following circumstances:
• Device discovery to find the reader IP address;
• If you only have an RS-232 (serial) connection;
• Updating MicroHAWK ID firmware;
• Using the Configuration Database;
• Creating barcodes for reader configuration;
• Generating Symbol Quality reports.
Step 6 — Connect to WebLink (ID-40)
A slightly different method is required to connect to the MicroHAWK ID-40:
1. Configure reader hardware as required and open the web browser of your choice.
2. Type http://192.168.188.2 (the default IP address) in the web browser's address bar.
3. Navigate to Control Panel > Network and Sharing Center on your PC.
4. Click Local Area Connection 4. In the Local Area Connection 4 Status dialog, click Properties.
5. In the Local Area Connection Properties dialog, select Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4)
and click Properties again. Set your PC to a 192.168.188.x address (192.168.188.5, for example).
6. Open ESP Software, connect to the MicroHAWK ID-40 via Ethernet TCP/IP, and click Search to
find the reader. When the reader appears in the field below the Search and Send buttons, select it.
7. Set the ID-40's IP address to match that of the host PC.
8. Click Send. The camera will reboot and ESP will search for the reader again. When the ID-40 is
found, you can use it with WebLink.
Step 5
To create an FTP drive shortcut: right-click on your desktop and select New > Shortcut; enter
%windir%\explorer.exe ftp://192.168.188.2 as the target path; name your FTP drive; click Finish.
Double-click the FTP drive shortcut on the desktop. Log in with the target / password credentials to
navigate the reader's file system.
Step 7 — Explore the Start View
The Start View is the initial view you will see when the session begins. The connected reader is shown,
along with its user-defined name, IP address, Reader Model, Serial Number, MAC ID, Firmware
Version, Sensor, Optics, Decoder, and Speed. This view allows you to choose Assisted Setup, to
Create a New Setup, or to Load a Setup.
Click the gear icon to show Save,
New, Load, Advanced, Language,
Terminal, Beeper, Guided Tour,
Restore Default Settings, Manage
Login, Enable USB Drive Mode, and
About WebLink.
Refer to WebLink Help for information about Advanced Settings and Terminal functionality.
Step 8 — Create a New Setup or Load an Existing Setup
Assisted Setup
When you click the Assisted Setup button in the Start View, a dialog will appear asking you a series of
application-based questions. Based on your answers, WebLink generates your initial setup automatically.
Once the setup is created, you can fine-tune its parameters in the Setup View.
New Setup
The Start View also allows you to create a New Setup without using Assisted Setup. When you click the
New Setup button, WebLink searches for any differences from default in the reader parameters. If no
differences from default are found, you will see the Setup View. If differences from default are found, an
alert will appear asking if you want to restore the reader to factory defaults.
Load Setup
Select Load Setup to load an existing .json WebLink setup file.
