Connecting to the DataMan Reader
Introduction:
This lab will show you how to start with a DataMan 260 reader that is at factory defaults, assign it an
IP address that matches your computer's address and connect to the reader.
Start:
Your computer has a static IP address already assigned to it. One easy method for determining the
IP address of your computer is to use the Command Prompt and the command line ipconfig. This
will return the IP address and subnet mask (along with other related information) for all of the
Network Interface Cards (NIC) on your computer.
To determine the IP address of the wired NIC on your computer click on the Start menu and type
cmd in the search box at the bottom of the menu (Fig. 1).
