Step 4 Connect To Weblink - Omron MicroHAWK Integration Manual

Step 4 — Connect to WebLink
When you double-click the WebLink desktop shortcut or enter the reader's IP address
directly in the address bar of your web browser, WebLink will load and start.
Note: WebLink is the preferred user interface for
MicroHAWK readers, but Microscan's ESP can
also be used for configuration and testing. ESP is
useful in the following circumstances:
• Device discovery to find the reader IP address;
• If you only have an RS-232 (serial) connection;
• Updating MicroHAWK firmware;
• Using the Configuration Database;
• Creating barcodes for reader configuration;
• Generating Symbol Quality reports.
Static Connection
1. Navigate to Control Panel > Network and Sharing Center on your PC.
2. Click Local Area Connection 4. In the Status dialog, click Properties.
3. 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 IP address
(192.168.188.5, for example).
4. Click OK.
5. Open a web browser and type the reader's default IP address (http://192.168.188.2)
in the web browser's address bar.
The reader will connect to WebLink.
DHCP Network Connection
1. Plug your reader into the your network adapter.
2. Open ESP Software and connect to the MicroHAWK via Ethernet TCP/IP.
3. Click Search to find the reader. When the reader appears in the field below the
Search and Send buttons, select it.
4. Change the reader from Static to DHCP and click Send and Save. The camera will
reboot and ESP will search for the reader again.
5. When the ID-40 is found, note the new IP address that is generated.
6. Open a browser and type the new IP address.
WebLink will load.
