Chapter 1 — Getting Started
IF2 Network Reader User’s Manual 7
Communicating with the IF2
By default, the IF2 is configured to be a DHCP client and accepts
offers from any DHCP server. Therefore, the IF2 will work out of the
box if you connect it to your network and use a DHCP server to assign
it an IP address. In this case, you configure the IF2 using the web
browser interface from a desktop PC. For help, see “Using the Web
Browser Interface” on page 10.
However, if you are not using a DHCP server to assign an IP address,
you use a serial communications program such as HyperTerminal to
assign a static IP address. For help, see the next section, “Assigning an
Initial IP Address.”
After the IF2 has been assigned an IP address, connect it to your
network and then complete the configuration by using a web browser
interface from a desktop PC. For help, see “Using the Web Browser
Interface” on page 10.
Assigning an Initial IP Address
Follow this procedure to assign an initial IP address to the IF2. After
you assign the IP address, connect the IF2 to your network and use
the web browser interface to complete the configuration.
