Starting up the device - Configuration

This chapter describes basic configuration steps which you can carry out either via the webConfig tool or
the display.
Via the webConfig tool
The most convenient way to configure the device is via the webConfig tool. Only the webConfig tool gives
you access to all settings of the device. To use the webConfig tool, you need to establish a USB connec-
tion between the device and a PC/laptop.
Notes on use see chapter 9 "Commissioning – Leuze electronic webConfig tool".
Via display
The display offers basic configuration options for the device. Configuration via the display is appropriate if
you want to configure simple reading tasks and you cannot or do not want to set up a USB connection
between the device and a PC/laptop.
Notes on use see chapter 3.5.2 "Status display and operation".
10.1

Measures to be performed prior to the initial commissioning

 Before commissioning, familiarize yourself with the operation and configuration of the device.
 Before connecting the supply voltage, recheck all connections and ensure that they have been properly
made.
 Check the applied voltage. It must be in the range between +10V ... 30 V DC.
Connecting functional earth FE
 Ensure that the functional earth (FE) is connected correctly.
NOTICE
Unimpaired operation is only guaranteed when the functional earth is connected properly. All electrical
disturbances (EMC couplings) are discharged via the functional earth connection.
10.2

Starting the device

 Connect the +10 ... 30 V DC supply voltage (typ. +24 V DC); the device starts up and the bar code read-
ing window appears on the display.
By default, parameter enabling is deactivated and you cannot change any settings. If you wish to carry out
the configuration via the display, you must activate parameter enabling (see chapter 8.6 "Operation",
Parameter enable).
 As a first step, you need to set the communication parameters of the device.
You can make the necessary settings via the display or via the webConfig tool. The settings made by
means of the webConfig tool are described here only briefly.
10.3

Setting the communication parameters

With the communication parameters, you determine how data is exchanged between device and host
system, monitor PCs etc.
The communication parameters are independent of the topology in which the device is operated (see
chapter 7.7 "Ethernet topologies").
10.3.1 Manually setting the IP address
If your system does not include a DHCP server or if the IP addresses of the devices are to be set perma-
nently, proceed as follows:
 Have the network administrator specify the data for IP address, net mask and gateway address of the
device.
