Step 1
Connect the reader and PC using an Ethernet cable
Connect the reader directly to your PC/programming device over an Ethernet cable.
Note
You do not need a crossover cable because the reader is capable of autocrossing and automatically detects the type of
cable you are using.
Step 2
Turn the reader on
Turn on the power supply for the reader. The reader is supplied with power either via a connected ASM cable or via the
power IO RS232 cable or PoE cable; see also chapter Connecting (Page 4).
● Each time it is started, the rea
der runs a self-test which is indicated by the Power LED flashing.
● After a period of between several seconds and 2 minutes, the self-test is completed and the Power LED lights up
permanently in green. The reader is ready for operation
