Serial Port
Connection
Serial Port: To connect to a site by running a cable from your computer to
the reader, you must have a free serial port on your computer. See the
HandKey manual for more on the requirements for the cable. This first
reader must have an address of zero (and no other reader in the site can
have an address of zero).
Modem: To connect to a site by modem, the first reader in the site must have a
modem installed in it (contact your dealer for more information). This first
reader must have an address of zero (and no other reader in the site can
have an address of zero).
IP Network: To connect to a site through your network, you must have a TCP/
IP network with static IP addresses. Your computer must have a network
card and be connected to the network. If the network is faster than
10baseT, you must have a switching hub. The first reader in the site must
have an ethernet card (contact your dealer for more information). This
first reader will automatically have an address of zero (no other reader
in the site can have an address of zero), and you must enter a unique IP
address in the reader; see Configuring the Physical Reader on page 54 for
more detail on this.
To connect to a site by running a cable from your computer to the reader, you
must have a free serial port on your computer; see the HandKey manual for

of zero (and no other reader in the site can have an address of zero).
when adding a new site
Serial Port: Click this and pick the serial port that the cable from the reader
is connected to. If you pick the wrong port here, HandNet will not be able to
communicate with the reader. If you have several sites, each must be connected
to a different serial port. HandNet only lists ports set up on your computer that
are not already used for communicating with another site. If you click this and
get a blank list, all of the serial ports are already used. Contact the person who
services your computer hardware if you need to add additional serial ports.
Baud Rate: Click this and pick the baud rate, we recommend 9600. While
19200 should theoretically be faster, because of the way the reader sends
information, this does not result in any real gain. The speed here must match
the speed set in the reader; see Configuring the Physical Reader on page 54 for
more detail on how to change the baud rate in the reader.
