3.2.3 Ethernet
An Ethernet connection is located in CONN. 4. The Ethernet interface can be used for communication with the Access
Control System, configuration and firmware update up to a distance of 100 meters / 328 feet.
The uPASS Target is equipped with two TCP/IP Channels. Channel 1 (default 10001) is connected to UHF processor or
TRANSIT compatible processor. Channel 2 (default 10002) is always connected to the UHF processor with a baud rate
of 115200.
The reader automatically gets an IP address from a DHCP server. The IP address assigned can be found based on the
MAC address of the uPASS Target (located on the sticker). Alternatively the Lantronics Device Installer software can be
used.
The Ethernet module can be configured to have a static IP address. This can be done by the web interface:
• Open the browser and go to the IP address of the reader
• Fill in the username and password (by default both blank)
• Open “Network” and select “Use the following IP configuration:”
• Fill in the required fields
• Click OK and Apply Settings
The communication protocol used for the Ethernet is the same as for RS422 and can be found in the firmware guide. If
the baud rate of the reader is changed the Ethernet setting for Channel 1 must change. This can be done by the web
interface:
• Open the browser and go to the readers IP address
• Fill in the username and password (by default both blank)
• Open “Channel 1” - “Serial Settings”
• Check if the “Port Settings” match the reader serials settings (as for USB or RS422/RS485)
• Click OK and Apply Settings
By default channel 1 is not connected. To connect channel 1, the “main comm. interface” (chapter 6.5.1) needs to be
set to TCP/IP. It is also possible to connect to the TRANSIT compatible processor, see chapter 4. Make sure the serial
settings of the Ethernet configuration match the setting of the TRANSIT compatible processor.
