  • Page 13: Ethernet Host Interface Operation

    Telnet is a bidirectional interactive text-oriented communication protocol. The host can receive label data with WINTERM (or other TELNET-ready appli- cation) and send Datalogic Service Port Commands/ Host Commands. BC9180™ only supports 1 Telnet client running at the same time.

  • Page 14: Service: Webserver

    Ethernet Host Interface Operation Service: Webserver The Host can receive a dynamic page that is updated with all newly received labels from the BC9180™ by using any commercial Web Browser and access- ing it at the URL: http://<BC9180™_IP_Address> You can also use Aladdin software to obtain the IP address of the cradle, after the cradle is connected to the network.
  • Page 15 Example 1. BC9180™ is connected to the network with IP address 10.84.30.64 1. Select Barcode Data from the left menu. 2. Click Connect to the Web server to start receiving barcode data from the base receiver. All the transmitted labels will be shown in a table format with two column fields.

  • Page 21: Dhcp Client

    DHCP Client Enter/Exit Programming Mode DHCP Client When DHCP Client is Enabled, the Ethernet Module dynamically obtains an Internet Protocol (IP) address from a Dynamic Host Configuration Pro- tocol (DHCP) server. DHCP server also provides Subnet Masks, Gateway address and network addresses of DNS servers. When DHCP Client is Disabled, the Ethernet Module uses a manually specified Internet Protocol (IP) address (also known as a static IP address).

  • Page 22: Static Ip Address

    Enter/Exit Programming Mode Static IP Address Static IP Address This feature sets a Static Internet Protocol (IP) address for the BC9180™. An IP address is a 32-bit number that is notated by using four numbers from 0 through 255, separated by periods. For example: 192.168.1.100 To add the Cradle to an existing LAN you must specify a unique IP address that is not used elsewhere in the network.

  • Page 23: Subnet Mask

    Subnet Mask Enter/Exit Programming Mode Subnet Mask The subnet mask number is combined with the IP address number to identify which network segment the BC9180™ is on. A subnet mask is a 32-bit number that is composed by using four num- bers from 0 through 255, separated by periods.

  • Page 24: Gateway Address

    Enter/Exit Programming Mode Gateway Address Gateway Address A gateway is a router that connects separate IP network segments. For example, a network segment might need a gateway to connect it to another network segment, a wide area network (WAN), or to the Internet. This feature specifies the address of a local IP router on the same net- work as the BC9180™, used to forward traffic to destinations beyond the local network.

  • Page 25: Dns1 Address

    DNS1 Address Enter/Exit Programming Mode DNS1 Address This is the address of the preferred or primary DNS server for the BC9180™. This server is used first, to resolve DNS names to IP addresses for DNS names queried by this computer that cannot be resolved by using local name resolution information (such as cached DNS names or names contained in a Hosts file).

  • Page 26: Dns2 Address

    Enter/Exit Programming Mode DNS2 Address DNS2 Address This is the address of the alternate or secondary DNS server for BC9180™. This server is used if the DNS server specified as the preferred DNS server (DNS1) is unreachable or cannot resolve DNS names to IP addresses for DNS names queried by this computer.

  • Page 27: Device Name

    Device Name This parameter is used to uniquely identify one BC9180™ from other Datalogic devices during the Product Discovery service initiated by Alad- din. This feature will identify a Hostname and discovery name to corre- spond to the address of a device connected to a network. .

    ETHERNET/IP™: Industrial Protocol ETHERNET/IP™ Overview BACKGROUND Most people who work in an office associate the term “Ethernet” with the physical cable behind their desk. This cable connects their office PC to the printers and servers of the local network and the infinite websites on the Internet.

  • Page 33: Cip Overview

    CIP OVERVIEW CIP OVERVIEW The Communications and Information Protocol (CIP) is a communications protocol for transferring automation data between two devices. In the CIP Protocol, every network device represents itself as a series of objects. Each object is simply a grouping of the related data values in a device. For example, every CIP device is required to make an Identity object available to the network.

  • Page 34: Vendor Specific Objects

    ETHERNET/IP™: Industrial Protocol For example, one temperature assembly may be configured to report every time it changes state while the second may be configured to report every one-second regardless of a change in state. Assemblies are usually predefined by the vendor but CIP also defines a mechanism in which the user can dynamically create an assembly from application layer object attributes.
