Connecting To A Reader Using Readermanager - Magellan MARS-1-2-4-6 User Manual

4.3Connecting to a Reader using ReaderManager

A Reader provides Ethernet and USB device interfaces to allow for client
connection. The USB interface uses TCP/IP networking over USB as the
protocol. This allows you to connect to a Reader as if it was a normal
network. So all the usual services, such as telnet and FTP are available.
Step 1. Open the Reader Manager. Ensure a communication cable is plugged in and
a Reader is turned on.
ReaderManager will automatically detect all Readers on the local network.
When a Reader is connected for the first time to a network using an
Ethernet cable or a host computer using a USB cable, the Reader is
identified by its Model Name-Serial Number (recommended to keep).
MARS-1-2-4-6 USER MANUAL
Magellan's Readers are complex and powerful
network devices. As most network devices they
should be handled by well trained network
administrators.
Customers can replace
information to the Model Name-Serial Number
such as a physical location or customer ID
number.
Subsequently when a customer starts using the
Reader the new name will appear on the list of
Readers in the Connection menu.
Tip: If you want to use the new name
immediately, simply unplug the power connector
and plug in again to view the new name on the
Connection menu list.
