DNS
9800 | 9780 | 8780 | 9640 | 9774
If DHCP is not used for automatic configuration, the reader must be manually
configured for use on a network. The DNS command pair allow the DNS server
location to be assigned and retrieved.
A DNS server must be specified as a numerical IP address.
DHCP must be off in order to change the DNS.
After making changes with this command, you must save and reboot the
reader to implement the changes.
DNS Examples
Command
Response
>get DNS
DNS = 12.34.56.78
Command
Response
>set DNS=45.224.124.34
DNS = 45.224.124.34
NetworkTimeout
9800 | 9780 | 8780 | 9640 | 9774
When the reader receives a command on its Command port, it opens a TCP
socket and waits for data to arrive. If inbound communication ceases, rather than
hold the socket open indefinitely the reader waits a period of time then
automatically closes the connection, ignoring any partial command it may have
already received. This time period is the NetworkTimeout.
The NetworkTimeout is specified in seconds
The default value is 90 seconds
NOTE: Changes made with this command will take effect immediately.
NetworkTimeout Examples
Command
Response
>get NetworkTimeout
NetworkTimeout = 90
Command
Response
>set NetworkTimeout = 120
NetworkTimeout = 120
Example Behavior
(using Telnet)
>set NetworkTimeout = 5
NetworkTimeout = 5
>(wait more than 5 seconds)
Connection Timeout.
Closing Connection…Bye!
(Telnet session ends)
