CONNECTING with SetupTool
Set an IP address for a personal computer and the code reader that matches each other to connect the code reader and
SetupTool.
An IP address is an ID number assigned to a device to be communicated with Ethernet. To establish communication with
devices, an IP address that matches with the IP address of each device needs to be set.
Set the IP address in accordance with the use situation.
• For using the code reader in a system, the IP address must be matched with that of a device to be communicated (mainly a
programmable controller). Select "Use Static IP Address" for the code reader and "Use the following IP address" for the
personal computer, and set the respective IP address according to a device to be communicated.
• For using the code reader by connecting only to the personal computer, the IP address of the code reader must be matched
with that of the personal computer.
• When "Obtain an IP address automatically" is selected for the personal computer, select "Use DHCP Server" for the code
reader.
• When "Use the following IP address" is selected for the personal computer, select "Use Static IP Address" for the code
reader and set the code reader IP address that matches with the personal computer.
• For an IP address to be set when "Use Static IP Address" or "Use the following IP address" is selected, the rightmost set of
numbers in the IP address must not be duplicated with that of the other devices. The setting of a subnet mask must be the
same for the entire devices.
