Ethernet network. The next illustrations show how the IF30 fits
in your network.

IF30 in a Wired Ethernet Network:This illustration shows the IF30 in a wired
Ethernet network. The IF30 sends and receives RFID tag data to the RFID server
through the wired network.
By default, the IF30 is configured to be a DHCP client and
accepts offers from any DHCP server. Therefore, the IF30 will
work directly out of the box.
However, if you are not using a DHCP server to assign an IP
address you need to use a communications program, such as
HyperTerminal, for the initial configuration. For help, see "Using
a Communications Program" on page 10.
After the IF30 has been assigned an IP address, you can
configure, manage, and troubleshoot the IF30 from a remote
location using a web browser interface. For help, see "Using the
Web Browser Interface" on page 14.
Note:This manual assumes that you are using a communications
program for your initial configuration, and then using a web
browser interface to perform all other configurations. You can
also continue to use a communications program to configure the
IF30.
