Device flash test using SINEC PNI
Using the node flash test, you can identify the reader quickly and simply by having the LEDs
of the device flash. This function is particularly helpful if several devices are connected to the
network/PC.
Follow the steps below to identify the relevant reader using the flash test:
1. Select the desired module from the device list in the "Device list" menu.
2. Click on the "Flash LED" button on the toolbar.
Reaction: The LEDs on the selected reader flash.
3. Click the "Stop" button to stop the flashing.
5.1.3 Assigning an IP address via DHCP
This section is intended for all user types but primarily for Rockwell users.
In Rockwell controllers, the IP address is assigned with the aid of a DHCP server. The reader
then functions as a DHCP client. To assign the reader an IP address via DHCP, a DHCP server
must be configured in the same subnet. Rockwell Automation™ makes a BOOTP / DHCP server
for Windows available to assign IP address data to the MAC address of the reader.
Requirement
Studio 5000 Logix Designer and a current version of the BOOTP / DHCP server are installed,
the reader is linked, connected and started up. The BOOTP / DHCP server is preconfigured and
is available.
You will find further information on linking the readers into Studio 5000 Logix Designer in
the section "Configuring with Studio 5000 Logix Designer (Page 32)".
Procedure
Follow the steps below to assign a unique device name to the reader:
1. Call up the BOOTP / DHCP server.
2. Click on the menu command "Tools > Network Settings".
The input screen "Network Settings" is opened.
3. Enter the subnet mask of the server in the input box "Subnet Mask".
4. Enter the gateway of the server in the input box "Gateway".
5. Confirm your entry with "OK".
6. Double click on an entry in the "Request History" area.
The input screen "New Entry" opens.
7. In the input box "IP Address" enter a new unique IP address.
