Addressing and configuring

Synchronize device time
Note that the time of the device clock corresponds to UTC time and cannot be adjusted to
time zones. It is recommended to synchronize the time with an NTP server to obtain unique
time information. The time is reset with a device restart and must be synchronized.
6.1

Assign the IP address / device name

To achieve ideal communication between the PC and reader, you need to assign a unique IP
address or device name to each individual reader. If you operate the reader as XML or Modbus
user in an IT environment, the unique assignment is based on DHCP or the IP address and can be
made using SINEC PNI.
After an IP address has been assigned to the reader, you can also change it later using the
WBM.
Note
Support of option "12"
When the address is assigned via DHCP, the option "12" (hostname) is also supported. The
hostname can be taken from the SNMP variable "sysName".
The variable can be written using SNMP tools.
6.2
